Live from Rotterdam Dec 3 - 22. Daily mini review

[QuattroRomeo]

Hi from aboard the Rotterdam! We boarded yesterday and are sailing for 19 days. 

Thought I would post a few things each day for those of you who might have a Rotterdam sailing on the horizon and need a "fix"!!

 

We have Club Orange for the cruise and embarkation was painless. The CO dining room was extremely slow last night. We arrived at the dining room about 6 pm and waited 45 minutes. Always slower on embarkation day but that is the longest we have ever waited. Will see what happens tonight!  Breakfast this morning was fine. We are in Half Moon Cay today though so pretty quiet. Staying on board. 

 

Christmas decorations are in various stages throughout the ship. 

 

The new library on deck 2 fwd looks nice, but the selection is quite limited. Maybe it is still getting stocked up.

.Club Orange last night- I had the Fresh Ocean Cobia. Very tasty. Could have been hotter though.

For dessert I just had the Mocha Mint liqueur in a souvenir glass. Drink was good, glass- not so much..

 

Earlier in the day, we went to NYDeli for lunch and had an excellent reuben and salad.

Thanks for positing.  Menus look the same as we recently had on our California Costal cruise on the K in Nov.  The chairs in the library are different from those in the library on the K.  We found the library chairs to be some of the most comfortable on the ship and we sought them out often.  Hope those chairs on the Rotterdam as just as comfortable.

Thanks for sharing!  Find the stairway art work...my favorite was the trash to treasure pictures, and then the drawings made from old cassette tapes!

The chair I tried was pretty comfy, but will have to give it a longer sit to be sure..!

Monday -We had a nice breakfast in CO - omelettes that were nice and hot and the pastries were very good.

Lunch was at Dive In, I had a yummy Back Flip and DH had the Cannonball. With of course fries. Dessert was lemon and mango gelato. Yay that the lemon is there now, we couldn't get it on past cruises. It was delicious!

 

Went to CO for dinner at 5. Seated right away. I had the grouper with curry- very good, DH had salmon with beer bernaise sauce- also good. Love the emphasis on  seafood now! Dessert was the chocolate whiskey torte and DH had the cheese plate.
