Teriyaki pork chop was amazing and I'm not even a pork chop person. The buckwheat pasts was s surprise hit too.

How was the: BRAISED OX TONGUE??

Never seen this option, land or sea.

It's a little far from Boston for a port day, but now that Bar Harbor is limiting cruise guests, other Northeast ports are stepping up. I've even seen some calling on Martha's Vineyard... Hyannis might be able to handle a cruise ship... You never know?!!!

Probably be a boutique line that stops there but maybe. I'd love to do a fall foliage cruise.

The pork chop wasn't as good as I remember. It was missing the teriyaki glaze. It was on the potato and vegetables so I stired it in and it was excellent. 

 

The fish was ok. Not bad, but nothing special. Fried food. 

 

For dessert I got the red velvet cake 801

 

[jam19872016]

Red velvet cake was a different presentation. Last year it was in a parfait glass with globs of cream cheese with a little red velvet crumbs sprinkled in. This was ok, but ordinary. 

 

Overall a very enjoyable meal.

Anyone ever called out sick and then gone out for a night on the town?

 

Anyone ever called out sick and then gone out for drinks at the place you work at?

 

Anyone ever called out sick and gone for drinks at the same bar your boss hangs out at?

 

Piano man spotted at Alchemy which is where I've seen the entertainment director almost every night with a cocktail. 

 

Plenty of room at comedy club. God bless these old folks all in bed already.

Grabbing my afternoon pick me up.

 

Continue to enjoy your live report!  What coffee is this, I need to try something new and this looks yummy. We just finished sea day 1 of 5 on the Pride headed to Grand Turk. 😄

I think I regret not hitting the nightclub more often this cruise. It's a small group, but they seem to keep it going late into the night. I'm thankful for another 25 hour day.

 

I'm back in the room now.

 

Next up, the final day on this 56 night adventure!

 

Good night everyone.

Let me add my voice to the choir and thank you for this blog!  Excellent photos and fresh commentary.  I am now primed for my next cruise on the Discovery Princess at the end of this month followed immediately by a cruise on the Carnival Radiance.  Those will, however, be quite a bit different than your Carnival/Cunard combo!  And, oddly, both cruises will take me into the top tier status on the respective cruise lines.  Unlimited free laundry!  🙂

[jam19872016]

Good morning everyone. 

 

Today is the final day before returning home.

 

I have no plans today except to pack and take it slow on my last day. 

 

There is a walk with Andy today, I may try to go to that.
