Come on Jimbo, this isn’t 5 star dining. That could easily be served like that in a popular bbq place in Texas. As long as the food is good.

Almost all BBQ I’ve had came in styrofoam containers.

Gang 

last nights stairs photos have been uploaded at Focus, there are 6 to choose from.

Really good ones 👍🏻
 

Here is a new prize gift that came on at Miami (reason for delayed departure)🤣

 

Bottle opener key chain, in shiny Blue

 

I know it’s sad doing a quiz, we will head out ashore after a few more drinks 🍹 

Need to keep the mind sharp 🤯

 

 

 

Andrew needs one. His current technique is dangerous

For those by this time  somewhat challenged, is that AM or PM ? Would hate for somebody to miss it.

Good afternoon. 
 

Well I am Not usually a Debbie Downer and put my broom away years ago but I want to share with you a disheartening occurrence. 
It has me bothered and I am debating how to resolve. 
 

At one of my dinner meals which by the way was delicious,  as the server was ready to pour water from a carafe  I requested as my drink will be  bottle of water ( we have refreshment package).  He looked at me and I said one more thing    “ the way we drink water on board I have noticed in the past my ankles do swell up from  a combination of food and tap water”. 
I wonder if it could be the way it is treated that reverse osmosis technique. Or whatever that fancy Mumbo could be. 
 

He got me the bottle of water. And I thanked him. 
 

Shortly there after he refills the glasses of water from carafe to the couple next to us  and goes in a loud voice. “Here’s some more salt free water.”

 

Now I’m pissed. But more so embarrassed. 
How he said it loud enough that I was in total shock.   And he looks directly at me. How unprofessional. And the couple kinda did not know how to react as they looked towards me. 
 

Now I do not want to report him know how hard it is to get a job and he is working. 
But Is  RCI that desperate to hire rude workers. 
 

Ok. I got it off my chest. 
 

Thanks for tuning in 

 

13:49

 

 

addendum 

I will probably put his name on the follow up evaluation. I hate conflict and that would probably be the best way since everyone is conscious of getting “10s. 

I'd just ignore it but I would not want him as my server again. And I wouldn't have explained why I wanted the water. I would just say, "I would like a bottle of water, thanks".

It's a bit closer than those.  Falls into the $15 cab fare bucket vs. $17 for Nachi Cocum.  Was B2B the past 2 weeks on Allure and did PB and NC on the 2 Cozumel stops.  Had been going to PB for many years but decided to give NC a try.  PB is now all-inclusive, but will do pay-as-you-go if they are not full.  Still a $15 cover for PAYG, so if you get food and drinks you end up paying about the same anyway.  I found the food to be better at PB and more for kids to do.  Since we didn't have kids I liked NC better for the laid back ambiance and the lack of a crowd.  Biggest disappointment for me is PB has transitioned into more of a frat-party with plastic cups and canned beer, where NC is still bottles and glasses.  Putting a lime wedge in a can of beer just isn't the same for me.

Thank you for the info.

We've been to Mr Sanchoz  and Nachi lots of times,

but never tried Paradise beach before.  Got to try it

when in Mexico the next time.

 

Did you feel safe there this time??

Absolutely. As a matter of fact the some of the best barbecue I have ever eaten was presented exactly like in Dallas Texas at a place called Hard Eight.  Barbecue is about the meat not it's presentation on a fancy plate. I can't count the number bbq meals I have eaten that have been served exactly like that!

 

For anyone flying into DFW this is the place to go eat.  You'll wait in line to be served but the wait is definitely worth it.

Hard 8’s was a local of ours for 18 years 

5 ⭐️ BBQ if there is such a rating 

We could literally walk there, but we drove 🤣

All served on foil and paper with the odd plastic basket 

 

I remember our first visit we picked one of  everything out of the fire pit and then realized it was $$$ by weight 

But was well worth it
