A ROYAL November: LIVE from Mariner/Liberty/Indy/Mariner OTS

[jam19872016]

Just looked at the menu to see what I would get if I went to the dining room. I was kind of in the mood for the tenderloin they serve on dress your best night. But they have a different menu, I guess tenderloin was still on night two and didn't move to night 3 with dress your best.

 

Windjammer it is because the menu tonight is pretty unappealing.

I enjoyed dinner tonight in the Windjammer. I'm sure the mdr was fine, but it gets repetitive after a while so I enjoy trying the Windjammer most nights. 

 

Holiday Starbucks signing outside Windjammer has been updated.

 

 

Tonights Windjammer special is Indian.

 

My dinner, excuse the sloppy plating.

 

 

 

Plate one wasn't amazing. Plate two was where it was at! Other than the Mac amd cheese this is what I will hit first next time on this ship.

 

I also enjoyed some dessert from the ice cream bar but it was a melted mess by the time I  got back to the table so I didn't photograph it.

Going to grab a drink and head to the Star Lounge for Finish That Lyric.

Qu.  Does Mariner have a craps table in the casino?  And if they do, are you finding it being manned and used?

thanx

I am pretty sure they do. I will verify next time I pass through as well as find out how well staffed it is.

[jam19872016]

Ten minutes to showtime the lounge was full but for two large booths. Lots of groups behind me I decided to let them have it instead of taking it myself or sharing with a group.

 

Went to the pub and five minutes to the start of the singer's set, only one table left and again a large table. 

 

Piano bar next, fifteen till I was in luck a couple of two tops in the back left where I usually sit anyway.

 

Settled in with a bloody mary waiting for the tunes to start.

 

[jam19872016]

Keeping it spicy with a habanero grapefruit daiquiri.

 

[jam19872016]

I enjoyed some cocktails and some tunes at Schooner tonight. Not a big crowd so perhaps not a piano man crowd or maybe the crowd wasn't into him. I enjoyed him though.

 

Finished up the night with some pizza and an egg with anchovy.

 

 

I ate the egg in one bite expecting it to be awful bit I actually enjoyed it. I will seek that out again and enjoy it properly.

 

The pizza was late night cruise ship pizza. No more no less.

 

Off to bed now. Our first, and only, port of call tomorrow, Cozumel.

Eeeew. 🤔 It sounds awful. But I am glad that you enjoyed it. 😊I always thought that eating anchovies was like eating a goldfish or something.

Though I don’t do anchovies in normal life @Coralc , I was at my Italian friend’s house and they gave me some and they were actually pretty good!

Was Indian food night in the Windjammer on Wednesday?  We're going on the same itinerary in December.

Good morning.

 

Late night pizza was not a good idea. Indigestion and weird dreams all night. Sometimes I forget I'm not 22 anymore, especially after a few drinks which probably also contributed to the restless night.

 

Gonna send out some laundry and come up with a game plan for the day.

I've never actually had it before but figured I'd try it. I was pleasantly surprised. One never knows what they might like unless they try it.

 

I agree it sounds gross that's why i needed some liquid courage to try it.

Yes. There are two stations featuring Indian. The first when you walk in. The second all the way in the back.

 

Try the red chicken labeled simply, chicken 56. Ignore the rest of that back station because it was very dry and had no flavor even though it had warnings stating "this item is spicy." False.

 

The station when you first come in had all the good stuff. My favorites were the butter chicken and beef kebobs.

 

Thanks for following along and enjoy your cruise.

[jam19872016]

Hope everyone back home is doing OK this morning! Hang on Florida, hurricane season is almost over.

My favorite WJ Indian dish. Had it on 3 separate Indy cruises since July.

[jam19872016]

I see land! 

 

Today we are in Cozumel.

 

 

 

 

Carnival Breeze peeking out from behind what I'm guessing is Symphony but only a guess.

Windjammer breakfast.

 

 

The Indian scrambled eggs are so good. Definitely give those a try.

 

 

[jam19872016]

I don't remember the last time I went I'm a cruise ship pool. I thought today would be a good day for that while everyone was off exploring our only port of call.

 

Wrong.

 

We might as well be in Nassau today. The solarium is packed and so is the main pool deck. 

 

Going to give it a pass. Heading to the gym and then getting some work done. A lot to do and I want to be done and dinnered by 7.

I almost gave it a pass because it looked very unappealing. So glad I didn't. Next time I'll get some rice and make me a nice big bowl of it. Yum 😋.

Ooops. Was just guessing based on which ship would need one day to get back home. Wasn't factoring in sometimes they have a stop at coco cay before returning home.

No worries, after you posted I looked it up on Cruisemapper. Im sure they look completely alike from a distance.

 

[jam19872016]

I did not make my goal of 7pm. Just now heading to dinner. Windjammer is Mexican tonight but I have a reservation in the MDR I forgot I made since there were actually reservations available at a somewhat reasonable time.

 

Going to miss Top Gun Maverick playing in the theater but I will try again next time.

Current situation.

 

 

The pub was full again so back to Schooner.
