We get rid of our carry-ons, valuables get put in the safe and we head to Cagneys for lunch.

The Roatan Honduras stamp is a "vanity stamp", as I recall they asked for a donation to a local service organization but that was years ago.

Not to anyone and everyone.

And I'm so glad of it.

Cagney's dinner menu and suite breakfasts and lunches have nothing more in common than the location on some ships, not relevant at all with the topic of this thread.

Not relevant? The thread is about Cagney's menus. They DO serve three meals a day in there.

Even a dead fish can float downstream.

If I don't see an improvement in the suite breakfasts and lunches, I'm going to seriously consider switching to another cruise line. The staff have always been great but if the ******* bean-counters in Miami don't catch on, I'm bailing to maybe SeaDream.

I'd be curious if there are any changes in the breakfast and lunch Cagney menus. I do know this, if they are serving something not on the menu elsewhere on the ship, they'll go and get it. I like kippers for breakfast and all I had to do was mention it and for the remainder of the cruise, they brought me kippers.

I would like to see more variation in the Cagney's breakfast and lunch menu's though. A special of the day would be nice.

The solution for the pool(s) and hot tubs is pretty simple: Post a prominent sign stating that "Passengers under the age of 18 without present parental/guardian supervision will be removed from the ship along with all others in their party at the next port."

Draconian? You bet but if enforced would solve the problem.

By the way, who in their right mind would want to climb into the "human soup" anyway? I don't care how much chlorine they dump and have the filter pumps going at warp speed, I still wouldn't dip a toe in those cess pools.

Let me indulge you with a "free" meal and a "presentation" as to our lovely retirement properties....

Barnum said, "A sucker is born every minute."

Once again, if its too good to be true, it isn't. I liken it to the thousands who bought southern Florida "retirement ranches". If you intended to be a "mosquito rancher" with names for your "livestock" like "Buzz" Aldrin, "Slappy" White, etc. go for it.

If you are too lazy to spell it out, post it on the carnival site. I have a couple of abbreviations for you but they would get me banned form the cc sites (again) if I used them.

Thanks Darth, We'll be on the Dawn in a couple months in a SE. Did the Star in an SF earlier this year. It's nice to have a photo tour before because the brochures and NCL sites just don't provide enough actual info.

BTW

Gourmet Top and Bottom were "fortified spirits" out of some Baltimore based distillery catering to the "college crowd" along with an equally potent and dubiously tasting, "Cactus Jack", an 89 cent replacement for bum wine level tequila.

Luddite,

I disagree, although over four decades separate my taste comparison. If you are financially "challenged" circa 1971, table wine and cooking wine are "one in the same". Take this from the voice of reason and experience, a/k/a fraternity etol consultant "1969", Theta Xi, MSU.

I "god fathered" a Gourmet Top and Bottom (42 Proof at 89 cents a fifth) fraternity party which left a number of "prominent" sorority sisters undie-less.

Although no pregnancies were reported, a lot of hangovers were.

Recipe (circa 1970) 5 ounces Groumet Tom and Bottom, 9 ounces Seven Up or Squirt. Stir slightly and chug like a champ, requesting another.

Leave under garments by the door.

Despite this debauchery, I still grew up to vote conservative.

I hope my wife doesn't read this post.

can you say "eternity"?

We were at the Tropicante last week. The shrimp/fish cerviche was HUGE, fresh, tasty and inexpensive. The drinks were delicious and inexpensive. The service was fast. What more could you ask for? I give two thumbs UP to Steve and his crew at the Tropicante.

Steve has figured out the winning combination for a relaxed, casual and friendly beach front bar. No shiny sterile "corporate" tourist trap bar here.

The Tropicante is the real deal.
