balcony bound

My last time in Cucina I did the upcharge for the Osso Bucco, which is one of my favorite things. It was truly awful. The only good part was I had tons of OBC that covered the charge. Keep hoping to see somebody post they ordered it and it was good so I can try again.

Trade them for clean ones first😀

Did you have a chance to cruise to Cuba when it was allowed? We had a fantastic time with a guide visiting cigar stores. Great memories for DH.

Hoping for video!

To be fair, they called it a "petite" steak.

Sid, do you think the Steakhouse experience is still worth the upcharge? Food as good as it used to be?

When I have cancelled excursions or dining reservations, I have NOT gotten any confirmation. That said, a refund has shown up on my credit card within a couple weeks.

You're about to be hit with some heavy rain.

Only perks I care about... embark and debark. Goat ropes are not my thing.

I always enjoyed your reviews with M... Have lots of fun!

I'm not a fan of the brunch menu at all. If I go, I get the lobster benedict for the upcharge. It's been really good, and worth the charge.

When things go wrong, they keep going wrong for a while. Good time for the sauna... clear out the bad juju. Relax and start over.

Thanks:)

I don't think this chart is correct. I just paid 18.90/day for premium, not the 21.25 this chart shows.

I didn't do more than take a walk in one port on my cruise a couple weeks ago. Some of the ports I've visited so many times that there isn't much more to experience. On top of that, some of those same ports used to be my favorites, but the ships have gotten so big and so many people in port that it just isn't an enjoyable experience. I didn't used to understand the phrase "cruising for the ship" but it is something I do as well now. We all enjoy different things for different reasons. Happy cruising!

Its still gloomy out at home as well. Yesterday was a couple hours of sun, but didn't last. Maybe gloomy at sea is better.

There must be something wrong with me. I can't remember a single CD's name since Weeeee Jimmy🤣

Happy to see this! I felt lost when you ended your last adventure LOL. Following along. Stay healthy onboard.

Start medicating now. I just returned from a cruise...about day 4 I felt like I swallowed a box of razor blades. That was just the start. Wound up in my cabin the rest of the trip unfortunately. After about 5 days I started to feel a lot better. Rest up and hope you feel better.

Well, those max bets are sure a whole lot higher than they used to be. I just got off Vista a couple days ago. I usually enjoy some time in the casino but I didn't spend near the usual amount of time in there as I normally would. First, not a lot of slots I would enjoy, second... max bet is around $8 (and higher) now on the majority of the slots in that particular casino. Also thought the casino was a bit small for the size ship. Anyway, lol, it wasn't kind to me. As for size of bet, it would just depend on how long you want to play and if you're getting any decent returns. Good luck.

I think I learned math a different way 😠

Actually, they were present on Vista last week. Just catching up with you since we returned!

Thanks so much for taking your time to do this Greg. Always enjoy your reviews and it was nice to see some new things. I'll be looking for your next one.

Are there no water / wine glasses in your cabin?

That seems so small for a balcony cabin, especially for two. I'm hard-pressed to book a cabin without a sofa.
