Passion fruit curd is another favorite, lots of great desserts at dinner. I also enjoyed the ice cream.

Tonight is the deck party. I'm not saying I will end up in the pool again, but I am changing into my swim trunks just in case 😀

Passion fruit curd and chocolate and peanut butter (reese) ice cream 844.

That flank steak was delicious. So tender and such a wonderful flavor. A++.

The salmon was also good and I enjoy getting that at least once each cruise. I forgot to ask for extra broccoli 😆. 

Dessert menu.

That was....different. the texture was odd but I did like the flavor.  Not bad, but  I'm not sure I would get it again.

Flank steak and salmon 817.

Eggplant caviar 758.

Hidden monkey?

The wait team we recommend. 

Making progress.

Who forgot to pay the bill?

No line to get a pager...long line fornthose with a reservation. Honestly I would rather sit and wait than stand in that line but not have to wait on the pager.

Got some tunes in the lounge while waiting.

I just called to say I love you 🎶 

 No luck for either of us.

I'm making the rounds for happy hour which also helps me get my steps in.

Effy giveaway at 7 and then we will check out the dinner situation. 

She's trying wheel of fortune. 

The casino is giving out $5 free play again. I am going to see if I can make anything happen this time. I forgot to tell my mom so she missed out last time but she is going to come and try her luck out this time as well.

In the main store I pulled the phone back out and snapped away and nobody said anything, but I was still rushing a bit as to not push my luck so I may have missed some items and don't think I noted any prices. I would say they were reasonable.

outstanding photo..perfect timing!

so what was good to shop for?

 

I tried to get some photos of the shopping today when I went back out.

The first building you walk to has Alcohol, Perfumes and Cigarettes'.

And then I was approached and told I could not take pictures unless I was taking a picture of a specific product. I have never ever been told that or heard of that before. Very strange, but I stopped taking pictures and moved on.

I did note that White Hennessey was $72 which is the cheapest I have seen recently and smokes were between $20-$30 a carton which I don't think I have ever seen that price in my lifetime.

Hey! My window got washed.

Isn’t saying the gym is nice a bit like saying triangles are square?

It's also a nice place to enjoy hot ice cream 🫠

I always thought al bacio was good.  The buffet desserts look amazing but perhaps the level of mass production has an impact on the quality.

I think it's the budget impacting the quality but that's just my opinion.

Sorry if you answered this already, how is the gym? Only made it to the gym once on our last cruise on the Silhouette, and that was only a walk through. But I thought it was nice. 😉

It's small but adequate for the size of the ship and the machines all seem to be in working order. 

And we're sailing away from cartagena now.

Off to the gym now to get in some exercise.

Looks way more enticing than the lunch.  lol.  Great info on the coupons for sushi…will need to watch for that for sure.

It was far better. My mom got a couple desserts from the buffet and they were disappointing. I've given up on them, but al bacio is really good.

Great.  You probably know that you can request to be seated at the waiter's "station" when you line up for dinner.  I snap a picture of the table number which also lists the names for the waiter, assistant waiter and sommelier.

 

 

I usually just take whatever they give me. I told my mom we could request someone if she likes but she hasn't so far. We both agree the middle set was the standout. 

Dessert at al bacio.
