Goodness, I wonder what you have to do to get an invitation. It certainly sounds more separatist than Cunard.

It's really not and it's very very few cruises that do it. I've only heard of it on long cruises. I suppose it's a little separatist but in the grand scheme it's not really a big deal, just a little something special.

Table assigned at 640.

 

It's the menu they pull out on 8 night cruises so we don't see it too often since most cruises are 7 days. It has my mom's favorite soup, cherry.

 

 

 

 

Lido menu.

Guest services will not take Euros even for a fee. My mom has €20 left. I bought extra booze to kill mine.

Save it for next time.

[jam19872016]

Got a shot from the roaming waiter.

Try telling my mom that 😆. She will probably put it towards her tips.

Buffalo cauliflower 659.

 

[jam19872016]

Very tasty. Nice and crispy and a good flavor. 

 

For entrée I got the grilled salmon extra broccoli 707

 

[jam19872016]

I enjoyed the salmon. Almost always a favorite when I'm not in the mood for anything else. It did not disappoint. 

 

Still very full from brunch so went light until dessert. Went with two desserts tonight.

 

Cappuccinos pie and 🍫 and cheese Brownie 720

I think they've heard that you haven't got a dinner jacket, so they haven't invited you .... 😊

Dinner was great again. Good to see yesterday was not just a fluke.

We were invited on our Venezia Journeys cruise. It's casual but drinks are not included. It's a Diamond thing. We were asked at the Diamond Brunch. 😎

I was invited last year on the Panama Canal repo from Seattle to Miami. It was a very enjoyable dinner although those tables aren't really comfortable.

 

Can't wait to read about that in your review 🙂

If anyone has ever watched the episode of Dirty Jobs where he works on a fish farm where salmon and other species are grown you would really only prefer to eat "wild" "substainably caught" seafood.

 

There is a HUGE difference in flavor and taste, IMO.

Enjoying a beverage on the outside deck tonight 

 

 

It's a little wet out but very peaceful.

I've heard a nutrition guru say the farmed salmon can be full of lice.😩

Little too wet moved back inside. 

 

Variety music with 2shay. 

 

 

Don't bother showing up on time to their set...they don't. Five minutes yesterday at least eight minutes late today weren't on yet when I passed through earlier.

I think there are many things I wouldn't want to eat if I peeked behind the curtains. 

 

Ignorance is bliss.

They were prompt at ending their set at exactly 9

 

At red frog now with the Freedom Rockband

Very true BUT, that ignorance catches up with ALL of us as we biologically age, then it pays to drop the ignorance and pay attention!

No doubt. That's why I'm making changes now while it is easier. One thing at a time and once I reach my goal weight I can start in on the next challenge.
