2and2

I could have said don't use a credit for my wife, but I didn't. I could tell that she did not see anything on the menu she liked, and I knew she does not like sushi. Vines was always packed with overflow Gelato and premium dessert eaters. Like I said, Alfredo's took longer to eat at than the main dinning room dinner did.

Love the picture with the recipe. They are thirst quenching.

Here is another thing I ran into. I got to where I was at a point where it was " use it or lose it". I at least wanted to try Ocean View before the cruise was over . So I decided to go get a California roll . I found I could do it, But I was there for a full hour. It took ten minutes to finally catch a waiters attention, then forty minutes to get my single California roll . In other words, the casual restaurants are now full service restaurants and not set up for getting a quick good meal. The time required to eat at the casual restaurants is to long now in my opinion.

My experience last week was, as soon as a person orders even one thing, it is counted as a visit. Example: At Alfredo's, I got antipasti, pizza, and tiramisu. My wife got just tiramisu. Result was two visits used/charged.

Well I did grow up on Kesslers (smooth as silk) I told you I was a factory worker/ barbarian . I will just have to work another year of fifty- six hours work weeks and come back for another cruise so I can try a $20.00 shot of congac without ice this time .

Well branch out and try the Remy Martin XO congac on the rocks for your after dinner drink at the main dinning room. You don't get to have that every day. I felt like a big shot drinking it, until I remembered I have to go back to my job at the factory after the cruise.

Perfect weather for a peach tea smash out on the balcony. Better order two. They go down easy.

Just off Regal last week during the Superbowl and Valentine's day. No theme nights that I noticed. They recognized those nights, but no theme. They had dress up night a couple of times. That is a good time for picture taking. I remember the dinning room having lobster on night six . The lobster was better than previous cruises. All the fish was too.

If you love being out on a nice sandy beach, it is definitely worth the walk. If it is getting difficult to make that walk and back like this old timer, the pool deck is just as good. Our last cruise, we easily found great chairs before noon. I was surprised how fast many return. After noon the pool deck fills up fast.

I am your third subscriber. Your on your way.

We stayed on the ship. We could pretty much see everything from the ship. We were not going to stake out a spot on the beach so we enjoyed the ship top deck. I noticed that the sky lifts would stop ever now and then for slower passengers. YouTube videos show many nice benches along the walk once you make it up the incline to the path to the beach. We did not see many seats prior to that. We decided that with our mobility, the effort to get there and back would not have been better than enjoying the pool deck on the ship, and not getting all tired out . It rough getting old

The quality of your posts are fantastic. The Value Brothers need a YouTube channel.

Here is a challenge for him. The Princess drink menu list "Jack Daniels Frank Sinatra". I was not able to find it on board. I really wanted to try it. Two separate bar tenders looked at me like I was crazy. Also they have Zacapa 23 rum, and Remy Martin XO. Try something new.

See what you think about the Peach Tea Smash. It has Woodford Princess private label Bourbon. It is a refreshing drink. But if it is too sweet, for you, call out that same Bourbon in an old fashioned without the cherries. Got them at Crooners.

It makes me feel better that you as a lawyer signed off on that terms of agreement contract that is required to board. I actually read most of it before saying "what the heck, just sign it". I had to wonder how many just check it off without looking it over.

I will be following. Just got back from our Gulf cruise. Did you get the premier package? I miss the $20.00 cognac and the called out top shelf "old fashioned".

Last time I bought alcohol at a port, they held it until the end of the cruise when I boarded. Never again. My advice for a wine drinker is to get the premier package. Those $18.00 to $20.00 dollar glasses of wine were so good. Why mess around? Live it up.

I had the same problem as you. Keep calling. Try to talk to a cruise vacation planner like suggested, at least you may understand them. Don't give up. I just got back from our cruise and I totally agree with you about the misinformation.

I thought the provided liquid soap was really good and convenient.

Travel agents will soon be a thing of the past when us old timers (pre-internet) get to old to travel. Kind of like a paper road map.

We did stargazing on an Alaska cruise on the Emerald pre pandemic. It took place on the highest deck late at night . It was very lackluster for me as the speaker/guide didn't seem to really know that much . She pointed out a few constellations and went on and on about their detailed Greek mythology stories that they were named after. Maybe I just expected more.

Just kind of wondering how you knew those other people had COVID?. I know how cold it was, and how far that walk is. I am surprised you found a place to sit outside. There is very few places to rest and catch your breath.

At least you must have been able to understand them. I called back the third time before I could understand them, and then got the wrong information. It is frustrating.

And don't forget about the acceptance test. After acceptance, all glitches fixed cost extra money.

You will enjoy your cruise. It is a great time with your wife, and you get to do many things you do not get the chance to do in your normal hard working everyday life. You unpack your luggage one time and wake up in a different place with a million dollar view. Now that you got them ordered, keep us up to date when they ship and arrive. GBR
