Our guest last night

Pics from last nights dinner. Another A

It is a pretty good one. Thanks.

A pic of a friends drink in Alchemy last night. If he did this on purpose, I am REALLY impressed.

Glad you found it and thanks for following along.

Second sea day in Havana pool area

To be honest, I cannot remember. Not to tall, very outgoing and bald. They are a talented mix. How many guys could be named Zoltan. Wasn’t that the name of the arcade fortune teller robot in Big???

Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Alchemy is always an interesting place. Lady sitting next to me at the bar was clearly working (had both laptop and iPad open, but also clearly was dressed for dinner. In normal bar conversation mode I questioned her on doing work while vacationing and also in the evening (in a light landed way), she responded in same and aid, she was actually working, but traveling with others vacationing, which prompted a little more discussion. She was in the end seat and soon others approached and asked same. Kind of became a joke, and soon whenever some stepped up and asked, we all (including her and bar staff) would break out and laugh. Turns out she is a book editor and review submissions of books as part of the publication process. The following discussion on what she does was very interesting. During the course she had several drinks and I asked her if the review process (for the book/potential book) she was working on got better as more drinks arrived. She said yes, I bought her a drink and told her to tell the author he/she owed me one. Just another example of why we love cruising.

And Zoltan

And French

Agreed

Np

I will try and find out and will check the Alchemy workers tonight.

I thought the only cooking classes were on Excel class ships. But I will ask.

Took what was the most boring nights me u and made it a home run.

Jumping back to dinner last night. New menus (will post later). I did not take pics. Sorry, maybe two many cocktails before dinner. I had the chicken soup (outstanding) the Emeril appetizer Crawfish Strudel and sezuian ( sp?) shrimp and orange cake for desert (all new, I think). A+.

True, there is def less but some. Weather might be a factor some passing showers
