Rare kazu Posted May 8, 2018 Author #251 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The gorgeous garden next to the library in Bermuda. There were lots of people parked inside and outside the library to get there free wifi. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgw321 Posted May 8, 2018 #252 Share Posted May 8, 2018 We still have a cabin crawl and wine tasting to do before that :) Oh dear, so much to do. Normally the sea days are a chance to relax after hectic port days. On this cruise it may be the other way round and you'll all be looking forward to a port day to recover.

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 8, 2018 #254 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Catching up again. We love the Pinnacle food on all ships. One item we both love is the caviar. And I get the chocolate volcano cake a lot. Great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted May 8, 2018 Author #255 Share Posted May 8, 2018 What was it? It appears from the daily program that there is no cocktail time music in the Crow's Nest. Is that correct? In the past there has been someone on the piano (not the same one who plays there later in the evening). And the musician for later evening joins the group in the Ocean Bar at cocktail time. Am I reading that right? Sorry Ruth, it was a tuna comprised amuse bouche. It was very good. I thought Stevie was playing in the Crow's Nest at Happy Hour (he's from Halifax by the way and quite good). I'll double check tomorrow for you. I'll inquire from my roll call. Happy Hour conflicts with Bingo, ya' know? ;):') Our Bingo Buddy group was out in full force yesterday ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this cruise it may be the other way round and you'll all be looking forward to a port day to recover. Nah, we're fine. It's all fun stuff and only for those that want to do it. Nothing is obligatory on the roll call ;) You do what appeals and you don't do what doesn't. No worries ;) By the way, ncgolferette and SkippersMom are kindly giving a Mah Jonng lesson to those that have wanted to play but don't know how.

Rare kazu Posted May 8, 2018 Author #257 Share Posted May 8, 2018 We were on the Prinsendam for our second cruise. A beautiful ship and I love being able to picture it all. At that time, Capt. Albert was the only captain in the fleet doing a blog. He said it only took him a few minutes to do each post. Jacqui , thanks for taking us along and thanks to everyone for their comments and pictures. Deen It doesn't take long to do a post if you have pre-composed it and copy but the problem I have having is that tapatalk is only downloading one pic at a time. In the past I was able to do 5 pics per post. Considering that you have to wait a minute between posts, posting pics, when and where's, etc. Take more time now because of the one minute wait. It is what it is. I'm making full use out of Bermuda wifi before DH's patience wanes. (Which may be very soon - LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted May 8, 2018 Author #258 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Catching up again.We love the Pinnacle food on all ships. One item we both love is the caviar. And I get the chocolate volcano cake a lot. Great pictures. Didn't get any takers on the caviar last night, but we have several PG dinners left so caviar and the volcano cake will be had. I was trying to be good last night. I had to be good after my HUGE faux pas. I will compose that little embarrassing story later and share. If I don't I suspect someone else will.:eek:;):loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted May 8, 2018 #259 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Sorry Ruth, it was a tuna comprised amuse bouche. It was very good. Thanks. I like to know what they think I'm going to eat. I thought Stevie was playing in the Crow's Nest at Happy Hour (he's from Halifax by the way and quite good). I'll double check tomorrow for you. I'll inquire No, no! I'm not asking about Happy Hour. That's way too early. I want to know what the music opportunities are between 7:00-8:00. I always go to cocktails before dinner, and I'm not seeing a lot of choices on the daily program. I just want to confirm what's available. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted May 8, 2018 #260 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Had my coffee this am and enjoy your wonderful photos. The minute I saw the pictures I knew PG!!! The food is awesome and we enjoyed on our last cruise staying there. Rudis pop up on The Maasdam was outstanding and we added the seafood tower to our dinner! Reminded us of Le Dome in Paris. Must say gained some pounds🙄 but well worth it🤗 Cellars Masters OMGOSH!! Thank you THANKYOU for letting us enjoy your cruise Jacqui!

I just want to confirm what's available. Thanks. Between 7 and 8 the Trio was playing as well as the Adagio. I'll check out the Crow's Nest for you but we really enjoyed the Adagio last night and the Ocean Trio were playing on the 7th floor as well. Certainly musical options at 7 pm and even at 6 pm :D The Adagio were very good last night. Very appreciated by the crowd. Get there by 7 though otherwise it's hard to find a place to sit. They are very popular and, deservedly so. The musical performances are listed in a separate spot on the When and Where, not necessarily in the hourly program. Adagio perform every hour. Ocean Trio's last erformance is at 10:45. Edited May 8, 2018 by kazu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted May 8, 2018 Author #262 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I am wearing out my Ipad battery so I best make the best of the wifi here and the battery life. Here is our dinner menu for the first night (embarkation). I posted pics earlier I believe? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted May 8, 2018 Author #265 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Here is last night's menu that we missed. Grrr, kazu missed her prime rib. Hopefully my other specialty dining doesn't clash with the prime rib. The tenderloin was unbelievably good on our Gala night so I suspect the prime rib will be as well.

bennybear Posted May 8, 2018 #268 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Glad your DH is feeling better! Loved the food porn! That halibut looks amazing! Was that PG? Appreciated the wine lists. We are hooked on the Meiomi Pinot noir, so nice to see that on the lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goonhilly Posted May 8, 2018 #275 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I just got a HAL email that in the second leg, the call at Bristol has been replaced with a call in Cobh. Does anyone on board know why? We are joining you for the Dover Amsterdam leg. George Edited May 8, 2018 by Goonhilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
