Martini Sampler Posted May 9, 2011 #101 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Be sure to say "hi" to Captain Rob. We were with him on GOS out of Baltimore and he is the best captain in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSeas1492 Posted May 9, 2011 #102 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Trainman, I feel I am with you right now just reading your posts and looking at the pics. We are doing the Western itinerary in Sept. on the Freedom, and can you tell I just can't wait!!! Keep up the good work, but also both of you enjoy your cruise! Thanks so much.

tropiclvrs Posted May 9, 2011 #103 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Judith is a late sleeper as Carol was but she is so excited with everything that she is already up and out on the balcony watching the tendering and unloading activities. We will be heading up to the Windjammer soon... More later I don't know why, but for some reason this comment is bringing tears to my eyes. :o Perhaps becuase you have found someone to share your life with, but at the same time will always remember your Carol. Anywho....keep up the great work Trainman. We all enjoy your Live posts, but I do hope that you take the time to enjoy your vacation with Judith.

BLAMBKY Posted May 9, 2011 #106 Share Posted May 9, 2011 :eek:Ok, the pop in the water gave me pause! BUT is this a small kid area or would my 12 year old enjoy it too? It looks like there are older kids enjoying it. Loving the review, thanks! The kids always seem to have fun with this pool where the water goes round and round. Several years ago Carol and I were walking by it and all of a sudden the kids were swarming out yelling "Poop in the Water!" over and over. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually things are working out well for both of us. Judith lost her husband recently too and we are able to talk about them with each other openly knowing that the past is over but still brings strong memories.

Trainman-2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author #109 Share Posted May 9, 2011 There Were TABLE HOGS Throughout the Windjammer This Morning. We arrived about 8:30 and the place was packed! But just as we were about to head for the MDR we found a table. This low quality photo (note the stack of beach towels) speaks for itself...

Trainman-2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author #111 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I did have some "technical difficulties" with my breakfast sandwich! The grape jam was more lke grape soup! I ended up with a lot of it on my hands. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had actually wanted to try making this last October when we were on the Freedom, but couldn't remember what it took and the internet was entirely too slow to look it up. Keep the posts coming!

Trainman-2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author #114 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I have been meaning for some time to comment on RCI's biscuits and gravy. I am from the South where Biscuits and Gravy have been raised to an Art Form! If a restaurant opened anywhere in the south featuring RCI's offering, it would be laughed out of business within a week and the cook run out of town on a rail! RCI's Biscuits are flat and hard! I recall reading about the olden days of wooden ships and iron men and they ate something called "hardtack". Perhaps RCI is trying to emulate that? I surely don't know. And even though the white gravy has a good flavor, until this cruise it has always contained cut sections of link sausage in stead of crumbled up bulk sausage. I am not sure what the sausage is but it may be chopped up link sausage. Links chopped fine so it is hard to tell if they were once links or not. Anyway, RCI's Biscuits and Gravy get a solid Below Average rating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author #115 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Judith and I went ashore to the Straw Market on Coco Cay this morning to stimulate the local economy. Judith got a $20 tee shirt and I got a $5 refrigerator magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enidcruiser Posted May 9, 2011 #116 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Had you on my calendar to go along on this FOS trip. You are a "Rock Star" to all of us CC fans and we can't wait to see your next cruise. Does Judith know how famous you are? We will all be glad to tell her about how we all feel about you. Can't wait for more pictures from the FOS. I know Judith will enjoy the FOS as much as we all do. Keep the joy coming. Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author #117 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The Coco Cay Tenders are sort of neat and they have expanded the sheltered harbor for them since I was last ashore on Coco Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyCapt Posted May 9, 2011 #119 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Trainman, You posted a photo from your balcony and it looked just like our view from "the hump" when we did a B2B in cabin 8338 last month...is that close to where you are? Great location just off the elevator lobby and stairs. Enjoy your week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author #124 Share Posted May 9, 2011 We are skipping lunch today. Too big of a breakfast and RCI C&A send us a really nice cheese tray. TOnight is the first formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
