It’s going to look like all I did today was eat and drink, and I suppose that’s okay! LOL! If you’d like to skip to the vlog to see what we REALLY did, here ya go:

 

 

Before morning Zumba,one of my favorite things to do while my husband and son were still sleeping was to head to the coffee shop at the International Café, and have a cappuccino – the staff was so friendly and quick, and I used my coffee card from my last sailing, which lasted me the whole trip:

 

 

I scored some yummy sushi at the lunch buffet, which didn’t appear through the rest of the cruise (not that I saw):

 

 

I signed up for MaitreD wine tasting and it was WELL worth the $25 or so dollars, with 6 very high quality poors, and decent bite sized appetizers to pair:

 

 

One of the highlights of our first Platinum cruise was the nightly invitation to Skywalkers for reduced priced pre-dinner drinks and complimentary appetizers. The appetizers weren’t that exciting, and usually ranged from chips and guac, to cheese and crackers. The drink variety is GREAT, and after ordering the 100% alcohol “Chairman of the board” on the first night (whoa), I transitioned to something milder on night two- the midori flavored “Japanese Slippers” which tasted like it looks- refreshing and sweet!:

 

 

Next up, sunny Cabo!

Great job! We are going on 3/28 can hardly wait!

Saw all of your videos about this cruise. They were all really nice.

Normally it is under 200.00. We don't buy jewelry, art cameras. Maybe a drink every other day or so an excursion or two. Cruised over 25 years.

We went three days early. Stsyed near airport ride rail to town everyday. Toured underground Pike's pier and city. No problems anywhere and great trip!

Was on gem, star and pearl. All have same one Usa for bathrooom and one near desk. And one European. I always bring a power strip.

Works also

Contact a private investigator in city where birth certificate is they can get you a certified copy and send next day.

The NCL on board cruise rewards are also good for four years we always have an"extra" just in case!

We agree at present we are trying to get info from NCL on their flight schedule to Rome. We are sure they have done this for years and must have some idea how they get people from LAX to Rome in dead of winter.

Been there twice both on the Pearl. Glacier bay is excellent. I recommend the speakeasy martini in cagney's. The "free" meals in all the dining areas are very good. Unless you really need a particular "specialty" these are all you need. We have tried all the specialty and only find cagney's and the Japanese worth a change . Althought if you are a meat eater you need to go to the Brazillian! Also recommend go to Seattle three days early and take some city tours especially the underground!
