Do you have to have the Premium plan to access the CC boards?  I'm booked on Vista in November and have the Value plan purchased.

 

I think you are good with value. I’ve never had value but I believe that’s where the full internet access kicks in. Vista’s premium WiFi was awesome so you’ll probably have good speeds with value.

Good morning. I got some much needed sleep last night and I’m feeling good today. It’s a good thing I’m not a woman because the water pressure in be shower is non-existent. All of those plastic bags that were left in one of my drawers are filling up one of my trash cans. I bet my steward is going to be like “man that guy uses a lot of plastic bags.” Speaking of stewards I haven’t met mine yet.

 

No line at the coffee bar at 8:30. With no deck 5 lanai I’m struggling with a new coffee spot. This one is okay but man it’s loud behind me here.

 

Probably grab a Bloody Mary and check out the morning show at 9:30. Then I’ll check out the brunch situation. When I woke up I think I was still full from the steakhouse.

Lobby bar either isn’t open or isn’t attended. Interesting note. They have RFP Caribbean wheat on tap here. I remember someone saying last week on another thread that you could only get it in a can if you weren’t on a brewery ship.

Bartender showed up so we’re in good shape. Christina from the Philippines and it’s her real name.

I’m used to the morning show being live in the theater. That’s not happening here. The playlist cast is rehearsing getaway island in there. It looks like they could be doing it on promenade where you pickup the shopping pamphlets.

15-20 people in line for brunch...not bad

They had Caribbean Wheat on tap on Victory, Breeze and Liberty over the last several months. It was also available on tap when we were on Horizon earlier this year.

I went with huervos rancheros since I had steak last night

Does the new brunch menu have anything listed on the back side like the old one? Or is this all of it?

Is it just me or does this look like a giant Marijuana leaf???

This is the room they making into the comedy club on sunrise, sunshine, radiance types. Love the bar. Hate the size of the room.

 

It seems like a waste of space. We had adult games and quest in there on freedom...and that’s the only time I’ve been in there.

Pretty sure it did not have a second side. Mine is gone but I’ll grab someone’s menu and flip it over on the way out.

Please tell me exactly what’s on this. It looks good, and I think I may like to try it on my next cruise, the Glory, in February.

[Saint Greg]

TV channels. I’ve been leaving mine on 19. It has my Saturday morning travel shows like voyager and vacation creation...commercial free.

It’s a tortilla on the bottom, egg on top and like chicken and beans in the middle. It’s my secondary brunch here after the steak n eggs.

No flipside.

 

Probably no coincidence they changed that after I pointed out the problem with it here last year.

Deck 4 aft. There are what seems to be relatively unknown bathrooms tucked away on most of the ships I’ve been on. Women on one side. Men on the other. This is where the crew come for #2 because nobody uses these bathrooms...except me.

 

Its very convenient to the comedy club. On Dream they actually have bathrooms outside the comedy club. Of course a line forms when the show lets out. Just walk past the line and go down a flight of stairs...no line.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Let’s talk men’s room etiquette. When presented with this situation I’m going to say 9 out of 10 go for the middle. Because 90% of the time I come in and one guy is there he’s in the middle.

 

 The correct choice is left so someone can come in behind you and not be bumping into you. The worst is some of the casino bathrooms. Some are so cramped you have to go hands free.  It seemed like they fixed this on vista by removing the middle urinal.

I remember a year or two ago there were rumors of them doing away with the ornaments I collect. So I’m always nervous about whether or not they’re going to have it when I go on a new ship.

Next the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone. It took three attempts for me to get a seat at it. I had one of their cocktails they invented called the Goody.

 

The Bar is on a carousel. It makes a revolution every 15 minutes. Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams all sat here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stayed here a few years back for a conference. Absolutely gorgeous, fantastic eggs benedict.....definitely out of my usual price point! 

Deannie's Seafood around the corner has fantastic BBQ shrimp and a friendly vibe to sit and eat at the bar. Getting a table was not happening!

[Saint Greg]

Still haven’t met my steward. It looks like this one isn’t going to play the “which service would you like” game.

I like the old school ceiling fans in Deannies.
