LIVE From the Serenade of the Seas with Trainman-2 & Judith

[Setting sail for fun]

is the train trip by rci or local company? If the latter do you remember the name of the company?

 

 

It was RCI

Trainman-2, last year we did a B-2-B, first week was a family vacation where we ate in the MDR, second week was DW and I only where we ate in the Windjammer, to my surprise I preferred eating in the Windjammer.

[seapals2]

It was "formal night" in the Windjammer tonight.

 

 

 

As usual, the Windjammer was only about 30 % full but there were 10 - 15 couples who came in to eat in their formal wear.

 

 

 

There was a good selection of things to pick from in the Windjammer which is one reason why we have been eating there regularly on our cruises.

Those meals don't really look that appetising on the plate and as an alternative to a formal night meal in the MDR would make me order a room service sandwich as a better option. Perhaps they tasted better than they looked.

Very much enjoying this!

Food is subjective and different people like different things.

 

The carved Roast Beef was nicely done but a lower quality cut and more than a bit chewy. They had some excellent gravy's and sauteed mushrooms to go with it.

 

The secret to eating in the Windjammer is walking around and checking out everything before you start loading up your plate.

 

Everything last night was good except for the mashed potatoes which were very dry.

On our Serenade cruise this fall, every evening at dinner in the Windjammer, they made crepes - we highly recommend you try them!:)

Day 3, Sunday, November 13,2015, At Sea

 

It is gonna be another nice Sea Day today.

 

I visited the Park Cafe for a breakfast snack and am uploading photos now.

 

We dine in Chops tonight.

 

More later...

[tomfeller]

Enjoy your day at sea and Chops tonight - I'm loving the pictures and stories!

[Lionesss]

Love your travels.

 

Question, the picture you posted at the Embassy Suites, do you remember what floor you were on, I saw the trees in your small balcony window.

 

Were you near the pool?

 

Okay, enough from me, cannot wait for more from your travels.

 

Safe journey

Jim .. Let me know if you see escargot on the menu? Had none on our carnival cruise last month. Hoping there is not another global shortage :-(

 

We had escargot on our Jewel cruise in October. They were on the menu just about every night as well!

 

Trainman, enjoying your posts as usual. Have a wonderful trip.

[Setting sail for fun]

Love sea days!

 

Chops is my favorite and I hope you two have a great dinner.

[Trainman-2]

Question, the picture you posted at the Embassy Suites, do you remember what floor you were on?

 

We were on the 3rd floor!

 

The pool area is outside. It would have been behind me and to the right.

[Trainman-2]

We have both been stiff and sore from all of the walking around the last two days so we are really taking it easy.

 

But that is what we are here for anyway!

 

I am behind on posting and uploading photos but will get caught up soon.

Royal has no self-service guest laundry or ironing facilities on any ship. However they do have a service than can wash, dry-clean, and press clothing.

Enjoying your pictures and report. After how busy you have been at home, I hope you have a very relaxing time with wonderful weather. Just checked awhile ago on Booty...seemed to be having fun. She had her tail high and it was constantly wagging. Thank you and happy cruising!

We got a nice Cheese Plate and Fruit Bowl from the C & A Manager.

 

 

 

 

No Fruit Bowl Photo available, sorry...

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your live review, very much appreciated as our next sailing is on Serenade on an 11 day southern Caribbean sailing too.

[Trainman-2]

Judith had lunch in our cabin from the cheese and fruit we got.

 

I went up to the Windjammer.
