Hibachi was a dinner and a show. I can’t even describe it by text but we were all howling with laughter. Dinner drink was She’s a Geisha.  
 

 

We went to hibachi last night on Allure and really enjoyed it. Our chef did not do the “flaming onion volcano” like we’ve seen in the land-based restaurants. Do they not do those fire tricks on ships? I hadn’t really thought about that until last night.

Nope.  Open flames are generally a no-no.

They did the onion volcano for us last year on Mariner but without the flames.  He did a smoking volcano.

They used water in the onion volcano to make smoke.

The only flame we saw was one candle for a birthday cake. Seconds later it was blown out.

I like the older ones better.  Agree they look classier.

I prefer the 1st generation with cursive text.  However, 2nd generation (CAP text) is better than 3rd generation (color photo).

Dinner tonight at MaMa Oceanboy’s.
 

I should not fool myself, it won’t be anywhere near as good. Note to self, spell the food accurately.

6:33 pm position report.  At 15.2 kts. we are making waves. Well, let’s say wavelets. 
 

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

Need something to ease your nerves?  

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

@Ocean Boy does your mom offer shots of lemon cello when you sit down?  I did mine and Lisa’s in one shot each. 
 

Vibes of the Bella cruise. 😀

Different. For starters, it wasn’t made with love.

Noon update.  
 

Multiple dips in the Solarium Soup Bowl have happened to stay cool, along with copious amounts of liquids to stay hydrated. 
 

El Loco Fresh was a tasty lunch snack. With a little extra work, this is what we came up with. 
 

 

 

I like the people in the background hugging! Very authentic

One of the calmest sailings overall for us.

Dinner, was very good. Hopefully Jamie’s will be gone from the ships.  I wish I tried the Portafinos back in the day. 

 

Bread app.

 

 

Truffle caprese salad.

Our waitress brought us an extra entree, the osso buco.

I’d rather they didn’t. 😂
