bionicman97 Posted April 29, 2011 Author #179 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Figured I would put up a little more review for the lunch time crowd Day 2 - Time to eat again! So, when we last left off, we were sitting up by the rock climbing wall. Since it had been several hour since we had eaten, it felt like a good time to go to the Windjammer for the afternoon tea/snack. I had some past and a taco salad, both of which were good Also, had to have a little dessert plate (with more of that intestine everyone is raving about!) For those of you who wonder, "does he really eat it?" - Here you go By the way, the weather was beautiful all day Up next - Can you really eat again an hour and a half later - and more. . .

bionicman97 Posted April 29, 2011 Author #180 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Day 2 - Eating again After having tea time in the Windjammer, I went back to the room for a few minutes. We walk in and there is more food to eat! After this, I went to the Solarium for about an hour. Had no problem finding a seat. Then I started to get hungry again. On to the Sea View Cafe. For those of you that have never been to the Sea View Cafe, you go up to a little stand and place your order. Then you get one of these and wait about 5 minutes for the food -- good and fresh. Here I am waiting. Notice how shaving isn't a priority to me on a cruise. And here is the onion rings - always a good choice Coming up later tonight - It's Formal Night - Captain's Welcome - Dinner & a Show. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, you told them there were photos and very long, why do they even read it!! Thanks :) I understand it's not for everyone. Some people like the quick short ones, some like just words, just pics, etc. I like to do it this way because I can "cruise" just one more time - (getting my money's worth :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionicman97 Posted April 30, 2011 Author #194 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 2 - Let's get Formal When we last left off I was eating Onion Rings at the Sea View Cafe. After this, I went back to the room to get ready for formal night. That's right, I'm rocking a 3 piece. I was real happy with how this photo turned out At 7:35, we headed for the Captain's Welcome in the Safari Club. On the way, we peeked out to catch the sunset They started to let people go in at 7:45. We waited in the Schooner bar until the line died down and then went in. We had no problem finding a seat. They said we had 2,159 people on board. They were serving Champagne, Wine and Fruit Punch The captain talked for a few minutes. This all ended at 8:33pm Up Next - Dinner and a Show. . .

bionicman97 Posted April 30, 2011 Author #195 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 2 - It's Dinner Time Next up, we went to dinner. To start, I had some sour dough I didn't get this, but here's some escargot that my aunt ordered I had a Caesar Salad instead For dinner, I had the fillet of beef, which was very good Up next - Dessert and More. . .

bionicman97 Posted April 30, 2011 Author #196 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 2 - Dessert and More For Dessert, I had the Cheesecake, which I really liked I also had the Cherry Bake. Every cruise I look at the menu and see the description of this and think "This sounds really good" - every time it comes to the table I remember that I don't like the taste of this. It's not that it's bad, it's just not my thing. When they were taking the orders for dessert, my aunt told them she wanted "nothing" ~ Here's what she got After dessert was over, our waiter inspected the table and awarded the next balloon animal It was a dog Up next - It's Showtime!

bionicman97 Posted April 30, 2011 Author #197 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 2 - It's Showtime After dinner, we went back to the room to change. This is the only night that the show comes after dinner. Here's the wife at the theater First the cruise director came out Tonights show is called. . . I liked the show More of the show - in just a minute . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman97 Posted April 30, 2011 Author #198 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 2 - The Rest of the Show Here's some more of the show Really liked the show (I like production shows ~ If you don't like these type of shows, this probably isn't for you) Up Next - The Rest of the Evening. . .

bionicman97 Posted April 30, 2011 Author #199 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 2 - The Rest of the Evening After the show, we wondered around for a while We stumbled on some Karaoke in the Safari Club Karaoke isn't really my thing, but it was ok. For some reason, Karaoke just makes me feel weird, can't really pinpoint it. At 12:20am, we went to bed. We had to set our clocks back one hour tonight That's it for Day 2. Coming up Over the Weekend (Monday at the latest ;)) - Day 3 - Labadee, Haiti - It's Labadoosi Time. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted April 30, 2011 #200 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Curtis - I haven't been checking CC regularly lately. I can't believe that I'm just now finding your latest review! I like the fact that you're only on day 2...I haven't missed much. Can't wait for the next 8 sailing days. I have many comments to make to get caught up. First, congratulations on the baby.:D If you think you have a lot of camera stuff now, wait until the baby comes. Best excuse ever to buy more gear (Don't you want to remember the baby's first spit up with a fisheye lens honey?) Second, more camera talk. You mentioned not having a tripod for one of your pics. Have you ever brought a tripod with you on a cruise? I just picked up a new one and am trying to decide between a tripod and a monopod for my June cruise. Did I see you wearing a BlackRapid strap in the Viking Crown pic? BTW, that's a nice shot by your relative with the D7000. He got the sunny outside pool area exposed nicely, while also catching you and your wife well with the flash. You're right...your G11 takes great low light shots. Very nice for ISO 800 in a Point & Shoot (if I can really call it that). Did you do much post processing to get them that nice? I agree...great picture of your wife on formal night. Beautiful. Enough camera talk. Stay diligent with the exercise. I lost 30 pounds about 7 years ago and slowly put it back on a pound or 2 at a time. It's easy to rationalize that an extra 4 pounds in 6 months is no big deal, until you've put 20 pounds back on in 2 years. Tough to get back into the routine once you stop. Less is more? Less is more?? LESS IS MORE??? Is there a way that you can transfer that virus that you fixed to someone else's computer? Glad to hear that Nemo is doing well. :) I'll hang up now and wait for your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
