Outside the cabana.

Our villa.

Water so clear…

Fantastic day on GSC. We got there around 8:40 and just got back. Sun, warm, water was delightful. The Villa was as beautiful as I remembered. Two in our bunch were empty. They have another row kitty corner to the one we were in. Those were not there in early 2020 as far as I remember. We had our own beach umbrella and six loungers available to our group of two. The vehicles that take you there have been updated. The ones before held about six people. These hold at least a dozen and are electric. They def have been putting some bucks into the place. at the buffet our friend the Restaurants Manager walked by and we got his attention. We had a nice long chat about this and that. A very nice guy. we had different drinks, walked around, floated on floats. Hard work, all that. What is it about salt water and sun for a day that makes you so exhausted! Wow. We are beat. I will attach some pictures. “Our” chairs.

Yeah it’s on ours too. Whatever the Haven bartender checked when we asked, said it was not. Confusing. I say bring what you have with you. They want to please.

Will catch up after we return from GSC. For now, the morning sky.

Will do!

Wait! We just found out that the Blue is NOT part of the package. The bartender made a mistake and DH lucked out that once. Even with the premium Plus the Blue is 60$ a drink!

They better stock up! Lol. Just kidding. He has only had one so far. He likes trying lots of stuff. I have watched them making Smokey old fashions which have been reported on before and always spark interest. Have decided tonite is the night!

Back from Donna Summer show. Very good, high energy. Of the 3 Donna’s (child, star making her way, adult) the adult one was absolutely outstanding. Very good actor and wow, wotta set of pipes on her! She is fantastic. She also styled The songs more like Donna, which I like. A fun show.

I know this answer! Hubby had some the other night, so yes! And yes is covered.

Thank you.

So we actually changed some plans. I can’t find my coupons for the Sapphire dinners. Last night, the hostess was nice enough to let that ride but did suggest we make sure to bring it tonight to Le Bistro. well I just can not find those stupid things and think I may have thrown them out by mistake. I realize that it is likely our concierge could work it out somehow, but both DH and I agreed we would rather just go back to Hudson’s. There was another dish there I have been jonesing for (fettuccini Alfredo, oh yeah momma) and he can only take so much “fancy”. So we will ask the Concierge to cancel Le Bistro and go to Hudson’s instead.

So good to hear from you, HeyJut. Yes, hubby is being a pretty fun cruise bud to me. It’s been good for us. And yes, I do miss Sistah.

Well I’m pretty sure they spoke to the chef at Cagney’s about the shrimp. They agreed that it should not be limp and/or fishy. Guess I will find out!

I feel like a lush. I am all settled in on the sundeck. About 20 minutes ago my feet took me (I had no say in that, it was my feet that took charge) to the sundeck bar. “Bloody Mary” all my toes whispered at each other. So I caved, ( I mean I do depend on them to take me places) and asked the bartender for a Bloody M. He looked at me. There was a pause. Then “ma’am we are not open yet for alcohol. “ say what! What time do you open. “Not until 10:00, Ma’am.” Oh, ok, I said breezily, a small water please! hey! It’s 10 now, yeehaw.

Well I do have a number of “suggestions” in terms of our Haven suite. Lots of little design elements that seem to maybe have forgotten the element of function. Or at the very least ease in dealing with things. I decided to write a separate thread on that after I get home. The suite is lovely, no question. Luxurious. Comfortable. But a number of frustrating aspects to it. Might be more likely to get on NCL radar if posted separately.

Thank you! That made me feel good.

Today is our last sea day then GSC tomorrow. we have the rescheduled Donna Summer show this afternoon and dinner at Le Bistro. Other than that it is sun deck and hoping for mini golf. It’s been such a great week.

P.S. to dinner last night. We did have dessert. Duh. I had had a huge martini beforehand and was pretty buzzed. DH reminded me that we did have dessert. I asked what it was. :-@ then I remembered. He had tiramisu and I had some chocolate thing filled with chocolate. Both delicious.

No, now that you mention it. They rightfully pointed out that I should have told them it was not cooked properly.

We had a lot of attention at dinner. Paranoid me thought it was connected to the Cagney’s thing. But neither of us really think that. mostly. good night!
