Rare Denversail Posted April 11, 2023 Author #126 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The ships internet… I wasn’t sure when I started this “live” that I’d be able to do it. I saw a lot of complaints on cruise critic about not being able to load pages and upload pics. We are day 3 and I’ve had zero issues. I haven’t streamed or attempted anything with video. I have a single device package and have been switching between two devices constantly. All my internet (cruise critic), news, stocks have been on my IPAD. When I need to make a phone call I switch to my iPhone. No problems or complaints. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a modified Long Island that comes out green from the addition of Midori. My only issue with it, like with Long Islands, is that it can vary greatly from one bartender to the next due to all the liquors in it. Some I've liked, some were not as good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted April 11, 2023 #128 Share Posted April 11, 2023 BTW, if I'm posting too much, just let me know. I assume you want feedback and this thread is helping take the place of having cruising companions but I can shut up. I just work from home and this is a very slow time of year for me so I have a lot of free time while my wife is at work. Couple that with reading Cruise Critic incessantly when I have a cruise coming up and here I am. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post all you’d like and ask any questions. Trust me.. I understand obsessing more than most. 😁 Currently just chilling in Central Park. This area is heaven if you can find a spot in the shade. Had to have another mint berry delight. Delicious. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 11, 2023 Author #130 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Dropped into park cafe for a salad since I was right here. I was disappointed that they don’t toss the salad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 11, 2023 Author #131 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The salad was delicious. I made an awful mess tossing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 11, 2023 Author #132 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The captain announced that the person dropped in Fort Lauderdale yesterday is stable. 👏👏 The weather is super nice. The Captain says the weather is just going to get better from here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegeorge Posted April 11, 2023 #133 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Keep posting ! It is keeping me from doing more practical things like packing, but I am getting so excited. Just 5 more days til we leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottdalfonso Posted April 11, 2023 #134 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I know you already went, but the burger from Playmakers is probably my favorite thing on board! Going back for a 2nd round in October, so I'm keeping notes from this thread to make sure I check some of the stuff out that I missed last time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 11, 2023 Author #138 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I happened to be in the casino when they were starting the blackjack tournament so I decided why not. We shall see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't noticed/figured it out yet, it's all about the betting. You may have to do goofy stuff towards the end of your round if you're behind (i.e. bet big to catch up or double down in a spot you'd never normally double just to get extra money on the table). It has very little in common with just sitting down and playing normal BJ as far as strategy goes. GL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet big and was out in 2 rounds which wouldn’t have been a big deal if I hadn’t waited 45 minutes. One and done for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasper15 Posted April 11, 2023 #147 Share Posted April 11, 2023 You haven't made it to Vintages yet? It's our favourite bar on the ship after dinner. We go every night for a nightcap or 3 🍷🍹🙂 Last time I was there, they made me the best ever Passionfruit sombrero. Have you tried those? I know tequila's not your thing but they are sooo good when made correctly. Sometimes though they are missing one or two vital ingredients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mk-ultra Posted April 11, 2023 #148 Share Posted April 11, 2023 On 4/7/2023 at 6:56 PM, Denversail said: So I’m a pretty big sci-FI fan. Anything apocalypse I tend to enjoy. I downloaded this book for reading. I had thought I’d be able to download some episodes of The Walking Dead from Netflix since I’m only in season 9 but apparently you can’t download everything on Netflix. 🙁 I just realized this about an hour ago. I guess not a big deal since I can’t seem to find my headphone charger. I guess if I’m lucky I’ll be able to stream from my room if not oh well. It's great book. Unusual, as is usual. 😛 Love Margaret Atwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 11, 2023 Author #150 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The waitress just asked me if I don’t drink. 🤣🤣 I’m pretty drunk today, I’ve been going since 9 am. I’ve never been a fan of eating while iI’m drinking. Next up in French onion soup. Pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
