Rare jam19872016 Posted December 20, 2023 Author #1301 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I'm back at the room for the evening and going to try and get caught up on my sleep! Next up is a sea day as we head to Nassau and then back to Miami. I am hoping the weather does not get worse as we head back north. Surely the storms have passed by now, we will see. Good night everyone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my best, but during my sauna session, she hit a streak of rotten luck. Dinner was good. My meatball was different, the sauce used to be spicier. This tasted like the normal red sauce Carnival uses, just perhaps a little warmer since it got from the kitchen to my table quickly. The meatball itself was still good. I also appreciate they finally changed the name to Nonna's Meatball, instead of meatballs, since you only get one. The arancini were very good. My entree was excellent. The shrimp were nice and plump with a tasty sauce and nice well cooked pasta. Very generous portion and I enjoyed this better than my short rib I ordered here last time. The potatoes were also good, I didn't think I liked them but maybe I have not ordered them before, because they were very good. They will allow you to order to appetizers although they try to steer you to just one. They would not allow M to order two sides. She offered to leave off dessert and the waitress had to get permission for it to be allowed. So odd that that is the limit. Dessert was not a very generous portion, but it was a tasty portion. The sorbet was so tart it made my mouth pucker! It paired very nicely with the cake and cream that came with the dish. Overall a great meal. That said I do not find the value to not really be there anymore at $24. This is a pretty basic meal. Some nice options, but I'm not sure it is worth the additional cost when you have already paid for a meal in the dining room. It is cheaper than the Italian options on Royal, but the menu is very basic compared to what you get at Jamie's or Giovanni's. Still, if you would like a nice alterative to the dining room without shelling out for the steakhouse, this is a good option and worth a try. Just don't get the short ribs. And table cloths, clichéd ones, admittedly, but still table cloths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 20, 2023 Author #1303 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Good afternoon everyone. Today is our final sea day which always throws me off when it's not the last day of the cruise. In my head it feels like the last day anyway. Gonna send out one more thing of laundry and see if M is awake yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 20, 2023 Author #1304 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Deck 5 outside appears closed off but I see people out there and I found a door that wasn't marked off so I decided to go out. First try I couldn't open the door the wind slammed it back shut. Second try I put some more muscle into it and got it open. The wind blew the coffee out of my cup it was so strong. Back inside for my coffee. M is still sleeping. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 20, 2023 Author #1305 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Brrr, everytime the door opened I got hit with a blast of wind. Was kind of in the mood for BBQ but the line is wrapped through ocean Plaza, past alchemy and into red frog. Gonna peek in the casino then try out the pasta bar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 20, 2023 Author #1308 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) That really hit the spot! Although the salt and pepper are matched, M spotted last night that the chairs are not. Heading to the sauna and gym now.

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 20, 2023 Author #1311 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I've lost M somewhere. She's out of the room, figured she'd be in casino but not here either 🤔. Long as I'm here I'm gonna play a little and maybe she will turn up. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
