Rare island lady Posted January 1 Author #1354 Share Posted January 1 9 hours ago, crzndeb said: I had the PB&J Old Fashion in Mason Jar. I really like the PB whiskey just to sip plain. Fun Fact…I’m originally from San Diego, and one of the beach towns where I lived (one of the many places in my 20’s), Ocean Beach, is where it originated. https://theresandiego.com/skrewball-whiskey-story/ They actually had a totally different drink listed on the drink menu for combo with the whiskey. I gave the bartender instructions on how they made it for me on Wonder. Skrewball peanut butter whiskey, Chambord, splash of Cranberry juice on the rocks. Yummm! Not sure why Schooner bar is only one that has Skrewball...but gives me excuse to bar hop a bit more. 😄 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 1 Author #1355 Share Posted January 1 Was very happy we were lucky enough to be on Starboard side. I did walk up to open decks 12 and even 13 aft to check it out before the start of the show, but it was too nuts up there with pax (and crew) stacked deep along the railing. Then found we actually had the perfect (and more comfortable) spot to view the fireworks from our own balcony. 🙂 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 1 Author #1356 Share Posted January 1 Not many pax out and about this morning. Not even our cabin attendants are working yet, and it's 9:30 am. Many sleeping it off. 😉 Enjoyed our usual breakfast at 8 am...Ellen was her usual bright and cheerful self. And she did not steal my hat!! 😄 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janabelle61 Posted January 1 #1360 Share Posted January 1 Finally caught up! Happy New Year to the UWC cruisers! Loving following along and appreciate the drama-free version so I can avoid the you-tubers and tik-tockers that have never actually been on a ship!! 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 1 Author #1361 Share Posted January 1 Nice day to just relax at sea....and one of my favorite things to do on one....read a good novel. 🙂 Rain this morning has passed us up and given everyone a beautifully sunny day. 🌞 Bucky somewhere up on one of the quieter decks in a lounge chair reading, while I stay out of the sun and just read in the cabin. Thinking of signing up for the always funny egg drop contest for tomorrow...just have to get creative with a contraption. Have never entered one of those before, but always love watching it. 😄 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMm....so many ways to enjoy a good taste of Peanut Butter. 😉 The drink they had listed in the Schooner bar was a "Tropical" Peanut Butter with Pineapple juice. I do like it just straight on the rocks too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tasty, but strong. I changed the mystery ingredient to cream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches? Or err....maybe that was just a Michigan thing? 😁 Oh yeah, no calories in that eh?

Usually at about 2 weeks on a ship, I'm tired of breakfast and most lunches. There may be something on the dinner menu I have to hold out for. Truthfully, doesn't food at home, especially breakfast, follow a predictable routine 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wanna be Pinnie? 😉 Funny how the "know it alls" simply don't know a thing at all. 😄 Truth...from a Pinnacle that is actually ON this ship: As a Pinnacle we get the "boil and fry" (AKA wash and fold)...we get that on this ship as full or quarter cruisers. No difference. We always get that on a one week cruise. As a Pinnacle we get the six drink vouchers per person... per day...plus 3 comped bottles of wine delivered to our cabin on embarkation day. So pair that with suite's free drinks and ability to bring on a bottle of wine per person on embarkation......please show me to the nearest AA meeting! 😵 So, free drink package also no difference to us As Pinnacle we get free unlimited internet. So does quarter and full WC cruisers. Again, no difference. Pinnacles being treated special on this cruise?? No way...and in fact nothing special at all. Even the Pinnacle "Cheers with an officer" which we get on any one week cruise, was lackluster. My steak was terrible. I doubt there will be another one of those until after first mini leg. Numbers: Pinnacles total on this quarter: 102 (someone turning soon...so will be 103). Pinnacles doing full WC...41 (two of them in a suite). As a segment Cruiser like me, you should be getting unlimited booze all over the ship. Plus you can give away your 6 Pinnacle vouchers. I use mine to supply the entertainment 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is not what we booked of course, since we never booked the mini legs...we booked the quarter to end in LA. Not sure what hoops we will be on...like a B2B2B now I guess. This cruise seems to be a project in process. And not sure what the full cruisers will have to go through either....with going through all the processes of the 17 legs and how it will affect them as well. We've been told we never check in again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talk like this show our age, half time my Daughter doesn't understand and my Grand Daughter just thinks Papa's nuts. GD eats all Fruit's, steamed Broccoli with nothing on it and both Girls on Med style Diet.

Is this true? Apologies if this has been discussed, but I didn’t read every post on this thread. A ton, no. Just a handful of slackers Rumor is we are getting Marc Sebastián in BA for leg 2. It's John's goal to torment him if he gets out of hand. He even added Tic Toc to his phone 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
