Trainman-2 Posted October 13, 2009 Author #236 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Does anyone know what Melanzane Parmigiana Is? Whatever it was, it was Excellent and I recommend it highly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 13, 2009 Author #237 Share Posted October 13, 2009 On Saturday, Day 7, the Seas were so calm it was like we were sailing through a lake. Our Cabin was on the Starboard (Right) side and we didn't see a single ship all day Friday or Saturday. On Saturday morning I did see one, just one, Flying Fish! Usually when you see one Flying Fish you see a bunch of them, but not this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 13, 2009 Author #238 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Another Excellent Lunch in the Windjammer Saturday! The Sweet Potato Soup was Excellent and is a "Must Try"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 13, 2009 Author #239 Share Posted October 13, 2009 One of the things that I learned in the US Army was to always conduct a Detailed Reconnaissance before an operation. The same things applies to a cruise ship. It is well worth taking the time to Explore the Entire Ship Early On. You won't know what is there until you actually look. Example - When we were first on the Radiance, it was the third day before we walked far enough back toward the rear of the Windjammer and found the open air dining area. WOW! This instantly became our favorite place! I spent a lot of time Friday and Saturday exploring the ship. I did it on my own because I can move faster than Carol can. I took her back later for the highlights. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAZANDSTEVE Posted October 13, 2009 #242 Share Posted October 13, 2009 YES! We Are Balcony Snobs and Proud of It! I shot this photo and video this morning. We love morning coffee and evening time together on our balcony. Nothing beats the sound of the waves breaking and the lights from Deck 4 lighting up the white water. My camera sort of takes videos as an after thought and this is the first time I have ever been able to upload one from the ship. Sorry about the wind noise but I hope you enjoy it. Oooooooooh lovely, my favourite place on a ship is on the balcony.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazakaza Posted October 13, 2009 #244 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks for the live report and pictures, you are a gem!! I agree with mazandsteve, the pics were great I got addicted. We are in the Brilliance of the seas over christmas and New Year so it got me all excited and ready for my cruise , the daily pics of the food in the windjammer made us all hungry I think.

madra2112 Posted October 13, 2009 #245 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Trainman - 2, you've made a cold autumn afternoon in Ireland a little brighter, we fly out on Saturday week and join beej and a few thousand more for the Western leg!!!

Cruising Granny Posted October 13, 2009 #246 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thank you so much for your posting of this cruise. I have thorougly enjoyed every bit. Our January 31 sailing cannot get here soon enough for me. We have a large group and only one smoker but she always seems to manage. Other than smoking spaces, your cruise seems to have been perfect. I can imagine if you and Radio ever sailed on the same ship what a review that would be for the rest of us. You both must draw business to the cruise line. You should all have free sailing. I will be watching for your next cruise. The best to you and Carol. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICHLEV1974 Posted October 13, 2009 #247 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thank you so much, again, for taking the time and energy to type and post. We all really appreciate you and Carol! Enjoy your lovely home in Florida and we hope to see you on a cruise one day as well. Our role call folks for our sailing are talking about your posts. We are all so excited!
