Thanks. We’re having a great time!

Just a heads up. Unlike our last cruise, no longer provide the good stuff with room service.

Finally got to have cocktails and a meal with @Grandma Cruisingand her charming DH, Nick last night! Nice to find fellow, convivial, late dining cruisers!

We’re on the Pursuit and haven’t been to the specialties yet (dining in Aqualina tonight), but disagree about the food in the MDR. We have found it to be just fine. Depending on the night, sometimes the service has been slow, but we’re never in a hurry anyway. And certainly agree about the fabulous crew!

Little rain shower this morning, but the crossing the equator ceremony is this afternoon. Should be good fun.

@nordski, don’t leave home without it!!

On Pursuit out of Riovon March 7th, we had the small group drills. Took 5-10 minutes

We do have some sort of ship’s tour planned. We will hope for the best!

Uh oh 🤨

We thought our balcony furniture was fine and were commenting that it was actually better than the Quest - chairs more comfortable and the table smaller, which fits the space better.

My friend at brunch said she woke up at 6:00 am and we were still in port. We were scheduled to leave at 6 pm last evening. That’s a lot of lost time to cover!

Sea day brunch with yummy mimosas!

Seems a bit early, but we’ve already received the “mid cruise” survey.

Local Destination Show on the pool deck before “scheduled” sail away: Rhythms of Bahia: a Spectacular Display of Drummers and Samba Dancers. During dinner with a very convivial group of 8 in the MDR, the captain announced that we were awaiting refueling and would probably not depart until midnight. Not sure what time we actually left because I was asleep! Attended “Club Crooner” in the Cabaret Lounge after dinner with the talented Signature Singers and Dancers. IMG_2739.MOV

Lol - yes!

I gave up and booked the ultimate package 😂

Went on a ships excursion today, “Panaramic Salvador.” It was so so. Large, comfortable bus with about 30 passengers, but the sound system was not great. If you sat in the front, the sight lines were bad and in the rear, the sound was very spotty. We opted for the rear so at least we could see. Hard to say exactly where we went (lol), but we had a nice ice cream stop and a church stop and a kind of tacky market stop! And a fort that we couldn’t hear him identify. IMG_2721.MOV

I am on the fence about the Ultimate too. DH is not a wine drinker so he doesn’t care.

Thanks for the heads up

They don’t seem to be changing , at least so far.

I hope so, @oddjob16. I was sorry not to get to chat with you today!

It was just scheduled that way. And since it was in the library at 10 am, no drinks provided 😂 . I think there were at least 25 of us though! And since boarding day was such a shambles, it was just as well that it was put off until a sea day.

Well attended Meet and Mingle!
