sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2018 Author #627 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If you get a chance, could you tell me what TV stations you're getting in the room? Outside of the 20 carnival channels and the 5 CNN channels. On my last cruise it was just TBS, TNT, TruTV and TCM...but someone is saying they had ESPN and ESPN2 on Glory last week.No ESPN or 2 ... TNT TBS TCM Tru boomerang and cartoon Network Sent from my Space Phone 9169... Link to post Share on other sites

sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2018 Author #638 Share Posted June 1, 2018 A bit of an awkward situation starting out at Jiji Asian tonight... ***Note: almost all situations are awkward in my life. Anyhoo, the waitress brought the menu, and said to put a number in front of the items that I wanted. Now, I wasn't going to have more than one of anything, so I put a 1 in front of the items that I had selected. She looks at it and says "no, you can only pick one item from each section" ... Then why did you tell me to put a number? What if I would have put a 6 in front of something? Anyway, I told her I would pay extra, I don't care. These are the things that I would like to order... Long story even longer, when the bill came it was for exactly $15, the price of admission... Like I said, I didn't want anything for free, they said to put a number... But, I digress. The meal itself was about the best I've had on the ship. For the money, better than the steak house. I had the pork entree, don't remember what it was called. Very good... Here it is without the spinach on top. And the short rib. Good again... Shrimp fried rice. Yum... Jiji Asian, highly recommend, they just need to explain more clearly the parameters...

sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2018 Author #641 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I was able to waddle over to Alchemy for the last few drinks of the cruise. This time tomorrow I'll be in a metal tube flying through the air at 33,000 feet... I told juilia to just go wild and surprise me... ***Note: pretty much my standard drink order.

sid_9169 Posted June 1, 2018 Author #642 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I realized that Vania at Alchemy had not had a hand in my drunkenness thus far... She mainly handles the outer tables here. She through a handful of fresh rasberries in the shaker and muddled it with some fresh basil. Tequila, and a few other ingredients, and boom. At least one of the top five drinks of the week...

sid_9169 Posted June 2, 2018 Author #649 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Incident at Alchemy just now: couple walks up and ordered some drinks. They handed the bartender their cards. Bartender says I'm sorry, you've both reached your 15 limit for Cheers. They said whatever, we'll just pay for them. Bartender says I'm sorry that's not how it works. Lady gets angry and says she doesn't care how it works, I want another drink. Bartender tries to explain, once you reach 15 you're cut off. Lady grabs her current drink and hurls it at the bartender and storms off. Security called. Lady is gone, but since they ran her card they know exactly who she is... ***Note: If you're getting close to 15, buy your drinks outside of the Cheers package beforehand. ***Note 2: If you've had 15 and you're arguing with the bartender you probably don't need another drink anyway. ***Note 3: They know exactly who you are and also your cabin number. ***Note 4: don't throw your drink at the bartender, or you will probably (definitely) get a visit from security...

Saint Greg Posted June 2, 2018 #650 Share Posted June 2, 2018 That’s crazy! It seems way early for someone to be hitting 15 drinks. Link to post Share on other sites
