El Juarez quesadilla. This was very good. Spicy (not spicy) chicken flauta. This was nothing special. Not bad but not something something would get again. Calabacitas. This made a great filler but I didn't need a filler so probably wouldn't get this again either. For dessert I had the banana and chocolate chimichanga. This was my favorite dessert. Very tasty.

I arrived at sabor 30 minutes after they opened and I was the first one to arrive. Seriously gotta lower that price. Starting off with the chips and guacamole again. Also ordered the bacon wrapped jalapeño stuffed chicken again. Just as amazing as last time. Jalapeño cucumber margarita made with grey goose. I preferred the flavor of that one over the avacado but wish it had the salt rim like the other one.

Even if it's just for the lunch, I always get off to eat. The food here is by far better than any free food anywhere on the ship. I tried to go easy so I can enjoy dinner more tonight. I ordered a coco Loco for the first time. I tried but I just could not drink this it was so bad. I think my bartender had a heavy hand because I didn't really see much but alcohol. Great for most people I'm sure lol. It just tasted like mystery fruit flavored cough syrup. Hard pass. Not the greatest view while I tried to swallow my alcohol, but a perfect shady spot for me.

I love coco cay. They've done a great job with it. Its about the only island I get off at anymore and certainly the only one I still do after so many repeat visits. Freedom was with us today. You know the weather is nice when the baloon is actually up and running. I probably had that booked 10 times before it wasn't canceled. Very cool experience but something you only need to do once.

Overall this was a good meal. But they have lost their minds to charge $40 for this meal. It was pretty empty and the reason this is a failed concept is the ridiculous charge. Let's be serious, Mexican food is cheap. There is no reason this needs to cost this much. It was $20 for me with my discount and even that it is asking a little too much when dinner is already included. They also have Americanized the spices too much. Almost everything I ordered was denoted as being spicy but I detected not even a hint of heat in anything but the stuffed jalapeño. Even that was only the faintest hint of heat. The habenero pineapple dip had a weird heat to it. More like it stung my taste buds but with no discernable flavor to accompany it. Like I said I did enjoy it though and I am going back again tonight since I won't have the chance very often to eat at sabor.

Pan seared snapper. This was very good and I wish I was hungrier to enjoy it better. Beef barbocoa tacos. These were not good. The tacos were stale and the meat was very dry. Yucca fries. I'm not sure I've had these before so maybe I just don't like yucca but these weren't great. I think a better sauce could have saved them but the habenero pineapple sauce for dipping was weird and not good. For dessert they bring four small desserts inadked for just one and got peer pressured into two lol. Churros and Carmel flan. I was way too stuffed to give these a fair analysis at this point. I was just shoving food in my mouth for the sake of it 🤪

Back on the ship after spending a couple hours on coco cay. Let's back up to last night's dinner. I was excited to try Sabor since I've only eaten there one time on harmony. Let me start by saying I wasn't even a little hungry yet when I sat down for dinner but I had a reservation so I ate anyway. First they brought me some guac and chips. This was very good and I'm already full. Avacado margarita but with grey goose because I don't drink tequila. This was good especially with the salt rim but you couldn't really taste the avacado and I imagine with a liquor as strong tasting as tequila the avacado flavor definitely doesn't come through. Chicken stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon. This was literally perfect 🥰. Chicken stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon covered in a delicious sauce on top of another delicious sauce. A++

So pretty disturbing scene I just witnessed at sabor. In line to check in. In front of me is a woman who I would describe as good looking and wearing a nice cocktail dress. She makes a reservation for one. The host says just for one. She says yes. He goes, really you are all alone. I'm thinking to myself no way is he being creepy it's just my twisted mind. She walks away and I am at the front of the line. He does not acknowledge me but instead watches her leave, literally until she is out of sight. What a creep. I know the crew enjoy being mentioned by name in the surveys I might have to mention Harry. Creepy.

So like most people, I am a creature of habit. Once I get on the ship I like to grab a coffee and sit in the library until the rooms are ready. Went to Cafe Promenade to grab my iced coffee. The machine is broken. I tried to ask how long it would be down and there was either a language barrier between us, or the guy working the counter is incredibly rude. Let's assume it's the former because if not I am a bit taken aback by his response. So coffeeless I went to the library. Except it is a Pinnacle club where the library usually is. Great use of space 😒. I found the library on the deck plans so went that direction. The library is nothing but some chairs and bookcases lined up along the railing overlooking the Promenade on deck 9. All the noise naturally travels up. Decided my best bet for a quiet place to sit would be viking lounge. Other than the background music (which is at a reasonable volume) it's pretty quiet in here and the view is spectacular.
