todays…

 

 

and boarding day….

 

 

the cheese plate is still here. Needless to say, I won’t be snacking on it any longer. 🤢 not sure why our cabin attendant hasn’t taken it away yet. I hate putting plates in the hallway but it needs to go! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Is this the new Diamond+ welcome  aboard amenity? The letter I received confused me. Does the new tote bag replace the new fruit plate or does it replace my requested bottle of wine or replace both? As I said, I'm confused and have only had 2 sailings since we we reached D+.

Thanks

We got the totes and the strawberries and the Fruit plate 

May be a glitch

Dinner at Chops last night was a mixed bag….

 

the starters were all excellent…shrimp, crab cake, soups

 

 

 

pretzel rolls… with REAL butter

 

 

 

 

 

 

[niksmom630]

Steaks and sides just meh to not good

 

 

The sides to “share” vessels have gotten a lot smaller… 

 

Desserts were also excellent. But I’ve found the beef tenderloin in the MDR  to be better than the steak I had…

Anyone else on the ship having trouble keeping up with the thread besides me? I’m probably missing more than 50% so if something important is posted please let me know. Thanks.

I think I’m going to try to do a marathon reading tomorrow so I’m not missing 50% of the posts. I’m missing out on seeing so many pictures. Thanks to everyone on the ship that’s been posting to the review. It’s been great reading it.

Was there really only 1 Baked Potato  to share or are you cruising Solo? Maybe containers are so small because you are there as a solo.

If you don't like to put it outside just stack it on top of the trash bin in the room.  I would guess the room Steward may have gotten complaints when he/she cleared something the guest wanted to keep and didn't assume.  Shrug.

 Lol, no one small baked potato. Not the massive  4 pound ones they used to deliver. We had a party of 11…. There were 3 of them total tho

To all Bella cruisers. 
 

These last few months have been stressful enough, I wanted  to make this slot pull fun for all. 
 

If I seemed a bit off, I am running on empty. Have only been able to get 3 hours of sleep. I have no clue what is going on. 
 

To all who offered assistance, I was truly impressed. And of course some cruisers were in the right place at the right time. I meant to not ignore anyone , but had to get it moving. 
 

I hope all liked their winning gifts. 
In addition to my donations I must thank both Andrew and John ( Mr. LaLa) for their generosity. 
The event was worth the wait in “gold”. 
 

Finally.  I can only hope I can sleep tonight. 
 If I came across as rude. I was just nervous. 
 

To all. Thanks again 

Oh. I think people must think I am someone special…. When everyone comes up to me or calls my name. 
Thank you for the popularity. 
 

Take care. 
 

I’ll be in my office. Every. evening after dinner. 4 th floor 😜

 

Thanks for making this fun.

We received both of those today. We don’t need all this extra food in here. It’s a waste.

When the picture was taken it looks like there is someone sitting across from them so I don’t think solo, but I could be wrong.

agree, I assume that’s why they leave most things for a few days. Or at least that’s been my experience. But perishable foods are a different story. The trashcan idea is a good one 

[ReneeFLL]

@Lionesss I think you did a fantastic job of running everything. Didn’t seem rude at all. Thanks for setting this up.

What's the up charge for the BBQ restaurant???

Thank you.

I like to the the kids meal; 1/4 of bbq chicken and 1 side for 3.99

Sometimes I’ll bring my own salad in with me

 

The current Portside musician,Nate, is on vocal rest. He did his Johnny Cash tribute and lost his voice. Hopefully he’ll be back performing before y’all leave.

If our stateroom attendant does not take it and we are through with it, we have found sitting the plate on the floor out of the way ends up with the plate / items being taken away..  We also do not like sitting it on the floor outside the room. 

 

 

[mandyleighflies]

I DID IT. 

 

I caught up!! 😂❤️

 

Y'all are having an excellent cruise and Thank You SO much for taking us all along! I feel like I have been on this fantastic journey with all of you and truly enjoying it. Our next sailing is in a few weeks and cannot wait and following along on this Live has ignited that excitement even more! We wish we could join for Bella 2 but we have my 40th Birthday cruise booked for a couple of weeks after that sailing. Will be watching again from home but hopefully can make Bella 3!

 

Continue the amazing adventure!!

I'm not sure that the internet problem is Elon's issue or an Oasis problem. The service was pretty impressive on Odyssey.

I think you are right.  It was great on Navigator in Feb... It sucked on Oasis last week.

I need to make this my full-time job. If I stop to work I end up to far behind!

Looks like the limoncello was a winner .  What a great turnout.  It is hard identifying everyone and because of privacy issues you are not tagging people.  I don’t see Laura . 
 

Keep on having fun .
