@kazu Now the I have read this entire thread, that was a fun read..glad you had a great cruise..just a few things come to mind..
I totally agree with you on the escargot situation. On our last few cruises we experienced the same poor quality in taste and they have shrunk in size. I always was excited to order them before but sadly no longer.
The cheese board with no crackers. I have ordered that once.....duh, and why dont they have that as an appetizer rather than a dessert?
We had dinner in the PG just last week (Noordam). The tenderloin /lobster dumplings were great, service great , but DH's scallops were stringy and chewy.
I had a great haircut in the spa on the Noordam recently and surprisingly they didn't try to sell me anything. They even put a conditioner on that has sunscreen (we were at the equator)
Mike Robinson....the funniest!!..we even went back and watched his second show when we saw him on a previous cruise.
Glad you enjoyed Boston, my home town. I learned to drive there but no comparison to the driving in the Washington DC area.
