Semi live from Reflection

[cruisestitch]

Arrived puerto Rico between 2 and 3

 

Donette is captains club hostess

 

Dinner tonight included hake, rugatoni, lamb shank, grilled rib eye steak

[cruisestitch]

Stateroom 1605 seems to be occupied so not sure there will be any opportunity to find out much about it

 

Last night's show, Monentum, lots of glitz, three excellent aerialists, lead voices just average, dancing good and flashy choreography but there's really no substance to it.

[cruisestitch]

Have heard that Capt. Pagonis is going shoreside but will see if I can find out when he will be leaving

[cruisestitch]

Certain songs were never meant to be played on the steel drum to an island beat. One of them is Ave Maria.

Docked next to NCL Epic today. Sail away brought rather more of a view of several of their pax than I might have chosen. Shall we say moons and full Monty's were visible!!!!!!

 

 

 

Oh my! That sounds a little more colorful than the whooping and hollering from the Carnival cruise ship that pulled out before us when we were on the Equinox last month! Let's see how much of this show ends up on youtube. :p

Confirming that this week Reflection did not dock at Havensight in St Thomas. It should, however, be there next week.

Donette is very good. Will be nice seeing her again. Do you know if Angela is onboard? Have a great cruise.

Next week's itinerary when I am sailing should be St Maarten, not St Thomas! Did you go to St Thomas? Thanks for your continuing updates!

[MusicalBear]

Thanks for posting the entrees. That is very helpful. Keep them coming!

[cruisestitch]

My bad...I was seriously confused. Next week the ship does not call on St Thomas . We WERE there today.

 

Tonight's entrees included sea bass, pappardelle with mushrooms, lamb korma, chicken with some sort of cheese filling

 

Lamb korma was very good. Sea bass needed seasoning

 

Have returned to just off puerto Rico for a medical emergency. Helicopter on its way.

No worries...one cruise day at a time :D Thanks for food updates. I hope the medical emergency is resolved quickly for those in need of the care!

Thought I would just jump in and say that the ship is indeed fantastic.:):)

Entertainment had been super. Loved the Reflection show - so nice to hear songs I actually remember. (Including Born to run!!). Did see Rory perform but haven't met him yet. Wonderful wine and cheese concert on the lawn last night.

Blu is the best of all our Blu experiences - food and service excellent.

 

Glad you got to see Rory! His family is visiting him on this cruise, so he isn't probably around too much. Lucky duck got an iPad for Christmas from his brother...and a visit from his family! :)

 

Enjoy the rest of your cruise, I LOVED the ship!!!

[lilghallinsf]

Are you posting reviews and if so where?

[marysb]

Like2cruise, here are photos of menus recently posted. http://reflectioncruisedecember152012.shutterfly.com/

 

I assume the St kitts menus will probably be the same as the st. Thomas itinerary.

 

 

We will be on in just over a week ....can't wait!!!

 

Thanks so much for all the updates Cruisestitch.

Can't promise the menus b/c camera broke . Yes St Thomas and st. Maarten are tge land of cheap cameras, but don't plan to buy a new one but will take notes of each nights entrees next week if that will help

 

Thanks so much!! I'm really enjoying your reports.

 

Was there any special entertainment on board ship when it was docked at San Juan?

[cruisestitch]

Not a happy camper tonight, formal night. Went to MDR select. The room had a district smell of fish, not enough ventilation. Couldn't stay. Retreated to stateroom for room service.

 

Menu included beef Wellington, lobster, portobello mushroom.

 

NO special entertainment brought aboard in San Juan

Sorry to hear the MDR smelled like fish. My DH wouldn't like that either. Must have been serving a lot of lobster.

 

I guess we'll have to find our own entertainment in San Juan. Too bad we're there on a Monday.

Sounds like they are marching you off the gang plank. Will you all be in leg irons and blindfolded? :cool:

Thanks so much for the turnaround info. Can you let me know if any of the hot tubs will be open in the morning? We'll be watching you sail away tonight, have a wonderful 2nd week :)

[KirkNC]

Thanks for the updates!

[cruisestitch]

RaIn in Miami and only 64 degrees. Doubtful if any would be going near outdoor hot tubs but will check Solarium

 

Customs/immigration delay. As of 8:15 only up to number 10 luggage tags.

[cruisestitch]

Pool butlers report that the nets will be removed from Solarium pools at 11
