tonit964 Posted July 9, 2016 #453 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Thank you so much for the review! You put so much time and effort into them. I thoroughly enjoy reading each one. I was starting to wonder if you had sneaked in another cruise while you were gone. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDayButToday Posted July 9, 2016 #454 Share Posted July 9, 2016 The orange piece looks like a candied orange peel, looks so good! All of your pictures are amazing, thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pghsteelerfan Posted July 9, 2016 #455 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I made my way into the Italian Bakery....OMG I had gone to Heaven It all looked sooooo good But this was what I came to Italy for.....a CANNOLI Is anybody drooling on their screen yet??? Croissant anyone??? Drooling on the keyboard, not the screen. I'm officially starved right now, all of those look so good. Oh, and no pictures of you guys doing the "lean" with the Leaning Tower in the background? :D Edited July 9, 2016 by pghsteelerfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #456 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hey Wrigley, glad I found your review. I'm sure your dad would have loved the Vista...just keep cruising, he would want you to continue doing what you both love to do! Thanks for doing the review, can't wait to get started! Oh yeah he would have loved the Vista....oh who am I kidding he loved every ship. He was always just as excited as I was about boarding a cruise. It doesn't matter if it's your 1st cruise or your 20th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #457 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm loving your review! I'll be cruising the Vista mid-September so your review is increasing my excitement...which is pretty hard to do as I'm super stoked already. LOL! Thanks for taking the time to write this review and I can't wait to read more. :) You will love the Vista. Have a great time on your cruise....it will be here before ya know it Thanks for your review. I really enjoy your sence of humor. You're a hoot!! Thank You. I always have a great time onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #458 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Great review so far! I think you were genius to stay on the ship and enjoy the solitude! I'm curious did you get cheers? Sorry if I missed it. Also, I agree the pools need to be more accessible but I think they should figure out a way to have sloped entries as opposed to stairs because that would help people in wheelchairs. I know the water park in my hometown has 5 of the 7 pools with that feature which really seems to attract lots of handicap-able people and their families :D. The only reason I could think that this wouldn't work would be spatial considerations. Obviously the pool would have to be larger and/or made more shallow to work like this so it may not be feasible. I'm sure a lot smarter people than me have analyzed the problem. No I didn't get the cheers package. It would have been almost $750.00 for the cruise. I can't drink that much....well maybe I can but I didn't want to be hungover through Europe. Yes I am sure you are right Space Considerations in the pool are a big factor but just make one pool more accessible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very strong hard taste...nothing like the one I had in Athens Laura got a Chocolate Gelato and a Latte I even got Laura to try the Beer. She hates beer but she liked this one....I was very surprised Oink....Oink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #472 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Cheese and Salami plate to compliment the wines that we were tasting Bob and Shelly....we didn't know them prior to this cruise. But leading up to the cruise on our roll call we learned that they lived about 5 minutes from Laura and I in the same town. Talk about a Small World Bob and Marie were from Long Island. Wonderful new friends Kathy and Diane were from the Boston area They kept us well supplied with the wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #473 Share Posted July 9, 2016 This is Lucio. Our Italian Hottie...he explained to us the proper way to drink the wine As we were listening to Lucio explain the different wines to us....Laura kicked me under the table and said look down And this was what I saw....I swear I have chicken radar He hung around our table....probably didn't hurt that I was feeding him bread....hehe This was Lucio's Grandmothers soup recipe. It was OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #474 Share Posted July 9, 2016 And this was his Great Grandmothers Lasagna recipe. OMG it was AMAZING. It makes it kinda hard to go eat Lasagna at the Olive Garden now....hahaha I was trying to see if Lucio wanted to come back to Orlando with me and Laura....hehe My little chicken friend was still hanging around The aftermath at our table...from the looks of our glasses it looks like we all enjoyed the wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
