Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 10, 2019 Author #801 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Dinner 11/9 We ordered off the kids menu tonight (so we thought). We both opted for the 4 ounce Filet and baked potato. Duck Consume Butternut Squash Ravioli Then came the steak. Kumar delivered a Huge Filet which was delicious but hated to throw away at least 1/2 of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 10, 2019 Author #803 Share Posted November 10, 2019 What’s for breakfast? We always eat breakfast in our room but I usually run up to Oceanview to grab a Double Cappuccino. Decided to look at the offerings at Aqua Spa and Oceanview Aqua Spa Cafe Now-The Oceanview the entrance has Washing Stations at each entrance.

There are so many options that one could never try them all. I try to limit portion sizes and walk about 12 miles a day. It’s noon and I got 9 miles so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 10, 2019 Author #807 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The ships crew are diligently cleaning the ship in preparation for US inspection. Grew are opening all the firehouse cabinets and polishing all he connectors. The staff say starting tonight the have to spend extra hours doing “special cleaning”.

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted November 10, 2019 #809 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) More food!! 😮 About the extra cleaning, they should be doing that all the time, my opinion....( of course hire more workers so the current workers don't have an overload of work).

What is your exercise routine? I walk the track on the ship. Edge has the best track I have experienced. It goes up and down two decks and gives lots of additional aerobic benefits. it usually takes me about 4 hours. I do the same at home daily so try to keep up. When it is cold or windy I walk up and down hallways, Starting on deck 12 and work my way down. Edge is pretty good for this also as many of the deck you can make complete laps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 10, 2019 Author #813 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Lunch 11/10 I had the flatbread Chicken - actually I just ate the chicken. Iain had the salmon starter. For desert Iain had one of his favorites - Chocolate Lava Cake and I had the Cheesecake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 10, 2019 Author #814 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This morning started out partially cloudy and 70 degrees. The clouds burned off and we enjoyed moderate seas and a nice 75 degree day. The pool was well used and I noticed pool butlers enforcing chair hog activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently returned from the TA on the Infinity and one thing that we really liked was that there were always MANY chairs available around the pool no matter the time of day, even during the 7 sea days.......guess it isn’t like that on all TA’s on all ships 😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge is pretty good but They had had problems in the AquaSpa and adjacent to the pool. There have always been loungers available but I believe they are reacting to people who stake out chairs and don’t come back for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not too late for you to sign on!!! I've been told that there are about 125 B2B's. They will be required to disembark the ship until the ship is zeroed out and cleared. Wish we could stay aboard but need to get home. It would be fun to meet you. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted November 11, 2019 #819 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Look forward to meeting you another time...so much gratitude for sharing your travels with us. Hope you enjoy the next few days. Someone on the roll call for next week has asked about the stores on board. If you have a chance maybe you could take a look. We were not impressed with stores in Jan. Hope shopping has improved...

We were not impressed with stores in Jan. Hope shopping has improved... I don’t think they have changed much. i shot some pictures a couple days ago. Lots of High End Stores - Tiffany, Cartier, Coach, Bvgari etc. The gift shop and duty free are about 1/2 the size of other ships. Duty free very small and limited supply. Iain smokes Marlboro Red 100’s and they do not carry. He purchased in Canary Islands instead. I don’t understand the thinking as the High End shops are always empty. it the regular shop limited merchandise and price cars seem higher than other ships. I did notice in Duty free they had a selection of drug store items. One thing I have noticed is lack of those “sales” they have on other ships.

suec12 Posted November 11, 2019 #823 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'm not much of a shopper - I hate the sale scrums that used to clog up that part of the ship but it would be nice to be able to buy a reasonable priced T shirt - I read on board they are $90? I don't think so😐 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
