Hurls88 Official 25th Anniversary Cruise Live Review and Contest HOTS July 14-21 “Is


Recommended Posts

Ok MDR. I put a request in for a window table months ago but when we got to American Icon Grill the table wasn’t by window. OK no big deal. The problem was that the table we had been assigned didn’t exist. Our waitress Kristina explained that her list didn’t show 227 so they didn’t have one numbered. They brought a table in from somewhere and in a couple minutes we had a table. Staff was excellent and food was very good. Wife had shrimp cocktail, Chicken Marsala and chocolate hazelnut cake. I had French Onion Soup, Cesar Salad, Prime Rib and Strawberry Cheesecake. Oh BTW I had an Amstel Light and wife had a Malibu and Pineapple. $17 more down so $506.

Fine Line was excellent. We both loved it. Wife Had another Straw Daiquiri and I had a Corona. We hit the Schooner Bar and had a Heineken Light wife had El Floridita. She wasn’t a fan of the drink. Piano player was very good. We are now at Boot and Bonnet I had a Blue Moon and wife had a Whiskey Sour. No way we can keep up this pace. Guitar player is awesome. $407. BTW it’s amazing how good the pizza can taste after drinking all day

2 things for you - Firstly, am I correct in saying you've booked a bungalow in labadee? we have on both weeks of our B2B in a few weeks time and I'd be interested to read what you think of them when you get there, and secondly, unless I've missed seeing the picture - you've simply got to try the frozen mudslides (Vodka, Baileys,Kalua as well as the frozen cream) they are simply the best and you'll soon eat away at that 'total' ha ha

Wow incredible 1st day. When we last left we where at Boot and Bonnet Pub and we shut it down. Kieron Cox was incredible. I had four more Beers and wife had 2 more Malibu and Pineapple so that would have been another $50 so we got the total down to $357. I can tell you it is going to slow way down today because I’m pretty hungover.

 

We woke up at 6:30 this AM got ready out door at 7:30 to Windjammer. Food was ok some cheese omelette and hash browns now we are sitting at the pool. Chair hogs are showing up now. Actual a worker putting stickers on chairs so I might see some action if he takes the towels. Meet and Mingle is at 9:45 in Dazzles (Why so early)

Impressive day 1. Looks like you're having a great time. If my math (and your math) is correct, you drank almost $300 yesterday. At that rate, you will easily surpass BobNoxious.

 

 

 

Not a chance. The brakes will go on today. I’m hurting. Some of the tropical drinks are so small. All the beers at the Pub killed me

WOW!! That's a really small number - glad you won!! I know our last cruise we won a free movie, and ended up forgetting to use it until the last night!!!

Where was the M&M held?

 

Sure looks like you will be saving money - and yes, 1st day is ALWAYS a drinking day, my bet is by tomorrow, you will have your drinking sealegs for sure!

Keep enjoying - you're making my 34 day wait for her just perfect!! :D

Well I made it to 11:12 AM without a drink. We each had a Miami Vice and I had a mudslide. $45 off the total so we stand at $312. I might not have a drink until dinner depending on what we do.

 

We are eating at Mini Bites now. Everything was big. No sliders or mini Grilled Cheese but still good.

Love your style of celebrating! The theme of the thread is clever.

 

DH and I are booked on HOTS for December 2018 - we also purchased the beverage package. What is the maximum drink price that the beverage package covers? I think I remember reading somewhere that it is $13 but higher on Oasis class ships - perhaps wishful thinking on my part. ;)

I believe $14 but almost everything other than wine and top shelf is $13 and under

Great Formal night dinner we both had the Lobster Bisque Cesar Salad Beef Tenderloin and Stacey had Strawberry Cheesecake and I had Apple Pie A La Mode. We Love our servers. Took a bunch of formal pics. Have to keep the wife happy. Dress Code seemed pretty formal I felt underdressed.

 

Tonight we have Grease at 10:15. I’m writing this from the Rising Tide Bar with a Bellinis each so let’s talk Alcohol. Wife had her go to drink Malibu Pineapple and an Appletini. I had 3 Malibu Pineapples. Been a slow day drinking so Royal saving $$$. Here come the Pictures
