    Are just men allowed in the Bellyflop Competition?
    Had to look up [URL="https://www.google.com/search?num=100&site=&source=hp&q=ne%27er&oq=ne%27er&gs_l=hp.3..0l10.9045500.9047134.0.9047356.5.5.0.0.0.0.112.422.4j1.5.0...0.0.0..1c.1.15.hp.wFDpW1BMVC8"]ne'er[/URL] as I didn't know either. Don't know if ne'er was intended as short for "never do well" or "not ever".

    Some of my photos from these large cruise ships, Disney Dream, & Norwegian Epic make the Cruise ship look like it's tilting in one direction and maybe another at the same time. The Allure looks like it is tilting toward the pier and the funnel seems to be tilting toward the water. :):):):)
  3. Here's the grill, as well as a shot of the main chef in the Lido. He proved to be one of the most friendliest staff on board. Since we were easy to recognize (asian kid (LOL) in a mainly

    Caucasian cruise w/ a huge camera), he greeted us often with "Hello Darling! :D" and with my Bro "Hello my friend!" , he was one of our favorite crew members!

    I was actually disappointed with the lack of friendliness from the staff from around the rest of the ship, but more on that later.

     

    Just from the photo, his general countenance and smile would lead one to believe he was a very friendly character...very good photo...:):):):)

  4. Thank you for your extensive review and the large number of good photos in it.

     

    I must say I've not been on a cruise without a room service menu, and since you like menus, I'm surprised you didn't investigate. Carnival has a 24/7 Room service Menu, so you can order from it anytime, even when you place your room service breakfast menu order, you can add in anything from the 24/7 Room Service Menu to accompany your breakfast order...or just order from the 24/7 Room Service Menu for breakfast and not use the room service breakfast menu at all.

     

    This is helpful when you have an early lengthy excursion and want something substantial...to help until you finally return to the ship. :):):):)

  5. On the beach, we enjoyed a Gasolina, which I forgot to mention in my San Juan portion. Gasolina (which I found out about on CC) is like a Capri Sun for adults! It is a mixed drink in a pouch and includes a straw. We got them in a 5 pack box in San Juan at the pharmacy, for $4.99 for 5 pouches. We choose Mojito, but they had Seabreeze, Original, Sangria. They were a perfect beach drink. Definitely worth it!

    This is really great! Thanks for posting this very useful info! On the top right corner of the Gasolina it looks like it says A 2 Drink Cocktail? Is there that much in one of these Gasolinas? :):):):)

  6. I would have to disagree with you. Certified Anbgus Beef (USDA choice) is certainly better than standard (USDA choice). Most if not all the butcher shops and meat markets in my area have both standard beef and Certified Angus Beef. They claimed Angus was better, I tried it, and I do agree and don't mind paying more. Is Kobe (choice) no better than standard? A steak graded prime from a milk cow probably isn't as good as from a beef steer. What the animal eats will also make a taste difference. If you can't recognize the quality difference between standard and Certified Angus, you are probably in the minority. I do recognize the difference and anyone I've personally talked to do too.

    I may be mistaken, but I took the remark to be within the Angus Beef realm (if you read all the previous post remarks), and look at the menu, which is unclear (possibly deliberately) about the Grade of Angus beef.
