  1. Technically, it is every 15 minutes. But I have never seen that enforced if you are sitting and drinking at a bar. But, "legally" you can get 24 hours * 15 minutes * 2 drinks = 196 drinks a day. Only 196 drinks a day? I want my money back!!!!! Elvis
  2. It's obvious! Cagney's has better steak and Ocean Blue has better seafood. If I was you, I'd go to both! Elvis
  3. Can anyone post the officers and the Haven bartenders for Escape? Elvis
  4. Let me set the scene. The Haven Lounge on Breakaway, March 2022. I was sitting at the bar with Priscilla, my wife when I noticed the bottle of Louis XIII Cognac on display. I told her that just once in my life I have to taste it. I have to see what makes it worth all the money. Her answer to me was "Why not tonight?" I told her that it was very cruel to joke about such a thing. She said that she wasn't joking and that if I wanted to try it, I should get it! Never have I loved her more that at that particular moment. I placed my order with Sergio, our bartender. He put on white gloves and served it to me in a crystal glass, on a silver tray, and instructed me on the proper way to drink it. (You don't just chug a cognac like Louis XIII!) If you are not a cognac drinker you won't understand this. It was a religious experience! It warmed me from the tips of my toes to the top of my head! And the taste stayed with me for over an hour. I even put off smoking my evening cigar because I didn't want to spoil that flavor! It was at that moment that I realized what "Living the good life" was all about! I'm cruising in The Haven again in September, on Escape and hope to repeat the experience! Elvis
  5. Tell your dad that the secret to birthdays is to keep on having them! That was wisdom passed down to me by my dad! He also told me that there's nothing wrong with getting old so long as you keep getting older! He lived to the age of 95! Elvis
  6. I'm on Silhouette next week. I'll let you know how things are. Elvis
  7. I'm in Aqua Class. You can have my room if they upgrade me to a Sky Suite! Elvis
  8. Just wanted to get my 2 cents into this. A few years back I went to Grand Caymen for a diving vacation. The diving was awesome! However, if you're not diving, there is nothing to do in Grand Caymen other than to eat or drink! Elvis
  9. It's the latest thing! I have a cruise coming up that starts in Omaha, goes to Laramie, Fargo, and ends in Las Vegas! And if that wasn't enough, we are in the Haven! Elvis
  10. Thank you for your service sir! Enjoy your well-earned cruise! Elvis
  11. You better get yourself on a ship! You've got way too much time on your hands! Elvis
  12. What he said!!! Elvis Chief, you are never going to convince the naysayers of the importance of the drill. You and I should meet up at the muster station in the event of an emergency. I have a flask!
  13. ( I did, but I came back again when I heard all the complaining! Elvis
  14. All joking aside, suck it up petunias! This is the way it's always been done! Believe me, it won't kill you!! Elvis
  15. You mean even though I'm in The Haven I have to rub elbows with the riff-raff? What is this world coming to? Elvis
  16. 243 on Escape in The Haven! Good things are worth waiting for! Elvis
  17. Every cruise line will be more or less the same! Cutbacks are everywhere. I've got a Celebrity cruise coming up next month, so I'll let you know how they are. I usually stay late in the cigar lounge and like a little snack before I turn in. Except for O'Sheehan's there's no place to get a bite. I see you're from Long Island. May I ask where? I grew up in Oyster Bay. Elvis
  18. I said I can't drink more than 2 without getting stupid! I didn't say I don't drink more than 2!!!!! Elvis
  19. Usually there are waiters from the lounge that come out to the pool area to get you drinks! Elvis
  20. As far as I'm concerned (and nobody should listen to me!) my favorite drink, hands down, is a Belvedere martini, very cold. very dry, straight up with three olives. with martinis you have to exhibit a little discipline. I find I can't drink more than two without getting stupid! Not drunk, mind you, stupid! On my last cruise on Breakaway, my wife treated me to a Louis XIII cognac. That was a religious experience! Elvis
  21. Try Celebrity. No smoking throughout the whole ship! Elvis
  22. I was an altar boy! Need be, I can say Mass. Elvis
  23. I would recommend the hot stone massage. I don't think I could ever have a massage that was too long, only too short! Priscilla and I always have a couple's hot stone massage at the beginning of the cruise and one at the end. As for as the hard sell at the end, we just tell the Spa Manager we don't want one and we've never had a problem. Elvis
  24. Are you actually expecting people to take responsibility for their own children? Stop it! You're killing me! Elvis
  25. Not a damn thing!!!!!!! Elvis P.S. Used to be my dog, but she's taking that big cruise over the Rainbow Bridge!
