More like last week exchanging ideas. I'm fairly introverted and was painfully shy younger and blushed easily. I think this table we got off to a rocky start. I got there first and picked a seat facing the windows the first time I went. The man and wife came in and he loudly said to me at least 3 times I was sitting in his wifes chair. I didnt move. Maybe I should have gotten up, had he said please I would have but he was ordering me, not asking. I guess he is used to giving orders. But who knows. Just ask or say please. I dont take orders well. 2 nights was enough for all of us. No biggie. I doubt any of us will meet again. The 2 woman are from florida. Not too far from where I'm moving though. One is onboard for a course onboard. Nothing for or against any of them. Well we got a night of music ahead .. tomorrow.

Hasnt been crowded at all. Might be tomorrow which is a sea day. 4 of my dinner companions are all into law enforcement and so I cut out. They ordered and got more and more lobsters for no extra cost. First it was the man ordered for the missing guy and got 3 with his wifes, then said these girls lobsters were stale, and he got 2 or 3 more and the other woman each got one. I was full and declined. I knew I shouldnt have that soft serve cone but I did. I'm not a big eater. The citrus avacado salad was yummy and my lobster cooked perfectly. Last week was mush. I heard they had a meeting today how to serve lobster though idk how hard it is to serve. Maybe they got complaints last week. Tonight's was so much better. Idk but they kept them coming and coming. It's not like they were offering to get them out of the shell. Cant imagine a long meeting on how to serve lobster. Surprisingly I got along much better with a couple last night who I think we didnt agree on anything but just enjoyed talking. I'd seen it before on fb how all the problems are boomers fault. And he explained to me why, we are holding onto all the countrys wealth and when we die it will be spread out and fix the economy. .. hahahaha knowing I'm a boomer. I showed him how to read a stock chart. This week was all about guns not my thing. So we said our goodbyes tonight. I have nothing against guns just not fascinated by them. The food was worth it tonight. Perfect. .. piled next to me, some of many piled up. One more night then home.

I wasnt even looking but I did think there were more. Just found this one inside wipe out cafe, the mexican food place, chips and dips time. Deck 15 aft, not even mentioned, so there are more.

Pickleball tournament starts at 4 pm, they been practicing. About 10 minutes is a tournament. Seems to be a lot of interest. Right out from wipe out cafe and I snitched some chips and dip. I havent yet had a soft serve chocolate ice cream and sorely want one but it will ruin my appetite. Hard choice. Male and female refs. He says he wants some of the profit. He knows it's going on cc and said ok to post. Cute attitude.

2nd is 16.95 I think it says. 1 more hour and maine lobster and citrus salad time. I'm trying to not ruin my appetite. Allure and tonight is lobster night. You can have all the steak you want to fill up.

I've read the same they will do for 1. I booked it this week and got sick. Couldnt eat a bite. They allowed me to have it sent to my cabin rather than lose it. Just that one night, even the smell of food I couldnt tolerate. Covid as on my last week cruise. Dont know. But 150 was so nice. I got the lobster thermidor and put it and the pull apart garlicky buttery divine bread and tasted so good the next day. I'm feeling better and better but they were the nicest folks. Everyone always says 150 has the best service.

Rcl they also said highest ever. But still has no pe, no pe means a overall loss, paying off debt faster. If earnings were that terrific the stock wouldnt drop everytime they announce earnings. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CCL?p=CCL&.tsrc=fin-srch Inflation means higher than ever prices and higher than ever costs. Oil and wages up up and away headwinds besides the debt. I guess let's cheer on ever higher cruise prices? .. until they have a profit at least forecast in the near future hard to get too excited.

I just was walking by the 2 in WJ on allure. I'm onboard right now as you see from my thread.

Well now I know it's a charge of 3.50. ..if I ever want a glass. I assumed juice was free except for the fresh squeezed.

Yesterday during lunch I sat right next to a cutie lady who turned 50. What is the chance of us 2 birthday girls sitting down together. So she just walked in and i asked if i could buy her a drink. She ordered cranberry juice. I didnt even know plain cranberry juice was a voucher item? I learned something new.

I thought this was a cute door sign. Crossed off names as dont know them. Dont want to upset anyone. Mike this is the meat carving station where the chicken was yesterday. Today its steak habanero or something..in red sauce, cooked tomato. No just plain meat. And loaded potatoes, contains pork it says, bacon so a nix by your wife?

Today is the no chicken lunch day. Some man just came around and asked me about the food. I pointed to my lunch. I put a couple cubes of ham on some caesar salad and that's all the meat. He said they had chicken yesterday so you could eat chicken every day? I said probably. He came back to say there was chicken pot pie. I want plain chicken. I'll go look but I dont want sauce on it. Or the lamb or the seafood stir. I eat seafood but I want to know what kind. Looks to me like it's rained outside. Parked next to msc and the walk is wet. Cozumel today so ship is quiet.

My birthday towel from my sweet steward.

Lol I only want dark meat chicken. White is dry to me. I dont eat pasta or cooked tomatoes or italian seasoning. Or cooked cauliflower and iffy on cooked broccoli. I want it raw in salads. I also dont like the sauce on pizza. Carnival has a white pizza. Cheese with garlic I love. I hardly ate cheese before college but eat some white cheese. I worked in a pizza place during college and they made me sauce less pizza too. If it's real life I'll eat sauce but usually just eat the topping on rcl pizza. Oh and I'm allergic to anything with coconut. I throw up. Cant eat the coconut shrimp or even german chocolate cake. I lived hawaii for 10 years hahaha. Not the best place to have a coconut allergy. I do like indian and mexican mostly. I had lunch in chops last week and had a hamburger. I do like honey mustard salad dressing but this ship doesnt seem to offer it any more. It was maybe 20 years before I would eat even a little salad dressing on my salad. I dont do vinegar dressing. Uggh. If they drown my salad in dressing I dont eat it.

Mike I probably shouldnt say this. The one lady at Mdr is ordering glutton free and maybe they forgot and then dashed it into the water last minute .. her pasta was served raw. Yesterday at lunch a family next to me at lunch had the same issue, regular pasta, hard and not cooked. Crunchy isnt cooked al dente .. this isnt cooked. I dont eat it, but this is twice. My food was fine.

Carnival vista class has JiJis which has their own version of cream brule ... I thought it was fabulous. Much better than the free Mdr version. Unfortunately not on many ships with that menu.

I'm probably a more picky eater than she is. Lol. 150 was a winner. I actually dont even like my food touching if possible. I tried Giovanni and not my thing. They put gravy on my steak. I dont like gravy or sauce on my steak.

150 is the best onboard. Best service. Tenderloin for 2. Lobster thermidor. I love duck but too messy to eat. Never tasted venison. Loved the garlicky pull apart bread.

How many onboard? Also had technical difficulties with ice skating show I heard finally played last night. Ice melting issues. Mike you really need a b2b.

My birthday morning yesterday morning was up trying to take sun rise pictures. Lol. Drizzled on me and clouds were blocking the sun.

Nope, not on allure. And yes I have been to dinner there last 2 nights. I'm taking it easy on my stomach. Last night was red beans and rice which I love. The night before I made a couple of tacos but wasted food. I'm still getting my appetite back. I liked the taco bar. Yesterday lunch they had both grilled chicken and that butter curry, I think pork they served downstairs I missed. I shouldnt say it but I was a bit bored with my table companions. A couple and a couple of women, assume a couple though I missed the first 2 nights. The one night I went all they all talked about was guns. They said you have to excuse us but we all were in law enforcement. I'm all for law enforcement just not so much into gun talk. I have one myself. It's just not a subject I am fascinated by. I'm going tonight for lobster night. And the avacado citrus salad. Yesterday was my birthday another reason to skip out. Last week was hot and sunny. This week a bit rainy. Nicer for me but not for beach goers.

Hahaha. I walked away with a win of $13.65. Cashed out and got $13 and gave away the 65 cents. I loved Heidi. She gave me 9 free games. Tbh I was sick monday and didnt use my free promo $$. If you use it within 24 hours you get a extra $2. By the time I used it only had $6. .. so that's on my free $6 promo. That's a whole another story. Had 150 booked and it was use it or lose it and if I ate I was going to throw up. They agreed to send up a tray of food. I started nibbling on the bread the next day. It was delicious. I didnt pack covid tests, meant to. For sure I'll pack some NOW for harmony. Some who got off sunday are testing positive. I never got tested. I went to bed! We had 2 stowaways sunday they finally had to clear the ship to look for. Customs had come onto the ship, we had our new cards, good to go but 2 pax were missing. I assume they were hiding or wouldn't have had so much trouble finding the 2 culprits. They told us to give them dirty looks when they walked off for holding up the entire ship.

Then most likely it was expensive enough cabin the TA gave up 100 of his commission. Or as ourusualbeach said there were group rates. He is a TA as you can often tell from his posts. Arguing with a knowledgeable TA doesnt make you right lol.

I was referring to the ones they were putting in our cabins for a while, after they sat out. These were regular WJ cookies except delivered as the chefs treat. I am guessing they got push back as now we have seen other treats. Maybe you arent a high enough loyalty level to remember a time last year they were giving us a plate of cookies in our cabins ..same cookies as WJ. Agree the ones in the WJ have been fresh and delicious. They have had my favorites all week, the mudslides and the macadamian cookies.

Before I posted that the bean counters had sent the fleet wide memo another lady had talked to friends on 5 others ships and confirmed for bogo it was being strictly enforced. My guess is if they had more opening they would sell more UDP plans instead of cutting them off.
