As you exit the ship in PV today.

But if you used the app to order the tray removal. 

Just outside the cruise port mall at the flea market.

But you would have to pay $14.99 if you are standard fare. 

Not for removal, only delivery and this looks like the regular breakfast that is listed on the door hanger with no delivery fee. 

We got off the ship but my wife didn't make it very far! This is right off the ship in a little marketplace.  

Don't be this person. Your cabin attendant will remove it for you or you can use the app to request removal.

I thought I read that steak frittes was available at the catch, but I didn’t see it on the menu. Is it an off menu item that you just request? Or, perhaps I’ve lost my mind and nobody ever suggested that menu item was available

Look at "Pouve Perfection" on the menu.  

No really, there is a Walmart right across the street.  

From the buffet for breakfast.  

Good morning from Puerto Vallarta.  We have company today. 

Bombay Bramble made with Bombay Red gin.

Coffee and doughnuts and pot de cream. 

Another table told the waiter in a snarky voice "We're ready for our dinner now".   

And just like that we are served. Lobster Mac and cheese and the burger. 

I post this 35 minutes after our first course was served and 15 after we ordered 2 more drinks.  Something is very wrong with the Salty Dag Gastropub. People are walking out to see the 7:30 show without getting desserts.

Sounds great.  Sorry, just one more question 😁  If book it 1/2 day,  what are the hours of that 1/2 day?  For example, 8am-12 noon?  12 noon-? pm.

I know it opens at 8 and closes at 5:30.  The morning shift is shorter than the afternoon shift but I don't remember the exact hours. Will try and confirm.

I'm liking that Affligem Blonde.

What are the chunks in the Poutine?  Are those a substitute for cheese curds?

Yes, it's cheese just not curds.  It was good, the calamari was flavorless without the tartar sauce.

Besides 

 

Thank you.  Just curious, any food or beverage included in the Sanctuary price?   

They have a food menu it's spa-ish but they have burgers on the menu and even muffins and parfaits for breakfast. Afternoon tea also is server.  They have some flavored waters but you pay for alcohol.  It's very worth it. 

Poutine and Calamari fries. 

Salty Dog's Dip Sticks.

What is the cost per day to book the Sanctuary?  TIA.

$40 for the whole day. They have half days for $20. 

The Salty Dog Gastropub menu.

Sailaway from Mazatlan.

Tonight is Italian night in the main dining room and though a fine menu there is so much Italian food onboard we're going to do something different.  We're dressing casual (think shorts and we'd never go to the main dining room at dinner in shorts.  Breakfast and lunch, maybe.) and probably eating at the Salty Dog Gastropub and graze for the evening.  Heck if we want Italian there is pasta in the buffet all the time or we can just head back to GiGi's.   We will check out the buffet just in case something piques our interest.  

We did spend the entire day at the Sanctuary and it did get busier but there were unused loungers and cabanas.  I forgot to take pics of the food!  D'oh!  I had the morning parfait and then the tuna salad for lunch.  Trying to go a little lighter today.  We did have afternoon tea in the Sanctuary with the highlight being the scones.  

Time for a Margarita I think.
