Okay. Viaggio. I don’t know if I got lucky or what. But it was all good. Well except the drink. They recommended a spritz. I have never had one but didn’t think I would like it. I said what the heck. I have cheers. Try it.  Didn’t really Iike It.

 

For the food I was feeling pretty good going in because these two guys next to me had ordered all different things and both tried all of them. I asked them if anything was really great and they named off everything I ordered…except the dessert. Neither of them had my dessert. They did help me with a good bread. There are like 4-5 bread options.

 

Okay here we go.

 

 

this is a bread with I believe Parmesan and pesto in it.

 

 

here are my selections

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a different bread. I forget what it’s flaky kind of like a croissant. It’s good but I like the first one better.

 

 

 

 

This is a lemonchello? Or whatever they bring you on the house at the end.

 

I was stuffed so I asked for my cannolis to go.

 

 

These other things with them they give everyone on the house after dessert.

I haven’t tried any of this yet but it looks good.

 

 

 

 

That meal looked fantastic! Glad we booked it on both legs of our B2B!

now we’re redecorating the spaces between doors.

 

That is such a pet peeve of mine.  Fine decorate your door but not the walls.

A door or two down from me there’s a lip, bump, unevenness in the floor. Every time I hit that and stumble a bit. Hopefully at some point I’ll get used to it…like Bill Murray did with the puddle in ground hog day.

Watch that first step, it's a DOOOZY!

[Saint Greg]

We’ve got some different TV channels here. I wonder if it’s just while we’re in Europe or if this is a new thing. Definitely BBC news, Sky News, and Sky Sports are all new. And this prime channel. Can’t remember if we had food network and travel channel before.

Temp in the room is great. Maybe 65

[Saint Greg]

I also noticed there are fewer on demand movies. But almost all of them are free. I think there are only 2-3 pay movies.

No, I meant why they were flying the American Flag in the central rotunda/centrum, rather than the Italian one? 

Memorial Day.

This is awesome, thank you so much for sharing. Love your diligent reporting. We are booked in a balcony room so seeing it in real life has been helpful. I already told the other members of my family that we will have to SEVERELY pare back our packing... I looked at my old photos from RCL cruise in 2019 and we had oodles of space for storage - at least 6 drawers, full over the bed cabinets, two separate wardrobes... And there was a wardrobe separating the main bed from the sofa bed, this time it seems like I'm going to be able to reach out and touch my tween/teen - UGH! LOL. Oh well. We will pack like minimalists and try and deal. 

@Saint Greg (this isn't due to Saints Football team, is it?) - is there space underneath the bed to stow our duffles?

Thanks again!

Great start, you are making me wish we had one booked……

I was traveling this weekend and just found this today. I can't believe you're up to 30 pages already! Have an amazing cruise ❤️⚓️

That lineup is very similar to HAL. Maybe CCL has negotiated a new contract and is aligning across the family...

They had the same channels on Magic in March.

That would be a major change in TV programming from last year. Previously the CBS News channel was the only channel for any kind of news information and it was sorely lacking.

Yes I was quite surprised to see the selection.  Can’t be sure same news channels but for sure many other options. 

[luvcruzing]

On Mardi Gras last month, there was no channel to view the pool.

I just know Magic didn’t have those news channels and sky sports in February. 
 

This is what I had Feb 11-18

Thanks again!

I first registered this name on a New Orleans Saints message board in 2000. 
 

I would think so. I have my suitcase under one bed. And they have the bedding for the couch there. Then there’s nothing under the other bed.
