!!! BREAKAWAY !!! To Bermuda ^_^ Our Ultimate Review and Complete Pictorial Guide!

[gambee]

On the side of the short corridor to enter H2O you see a few of the items that they sell downstairs in tradewinds. Actually you see displays like these in several parts of the ship.

 

 

 

 

Then we went decided to go back to the room, I can't really remember why we went down. But I think it was because I wanted to change into something more relaxing. On the way down we met this little guy in a stroller, at first I thought it was a child, but then my mom pointed him out to me. As you can imagine he was a service dog, we have plenty of those here in Florida.

 

Not a very friendly little guy, (I asked the owner if I could take a pic)

 

 

 

Right before I entered the room I noticed how the suites have different doors, Shaun said that his door was very heavy. I am guessing the suite doors are heavier than the non-suite doors. While our door was heavy, it was not crazy heavy. Be very, very careful with the doors. Make sure they are closed, it happened to us and Shaun told me it happened to him as well. The doors don't look unless you push them harder, you think they are looked but they are not. Just make sure every time you leave the room that your door is looked. Just pull on the handle to confirm.

 

One more thing with the doors, but this is true with every cruise line. Be careful went your balcony door is open as the door will slam close when closing it. I guess it creates a really nice suction.

 

There you can see the different door types.

 

 

Once inside the room, be careful with the bathroom door. It is elevated a little more than usual and it is easy to bump into it. I did it myself the first time going in.

 

 

Ok enough about doors, onto the next topic.

So we were really hungry by then, I think it was around 2pm and I had eaten nothing so far. On the way to Oshehaan's I saw some cakes being delivered, so I though ours should be there once we got back to the room.

 

 

I absolutely love the carpets aboard this ship, hopefully they keep them nice and clean.

 

Nice art as well.

 

 

Once down stairs we walked by tradewinds.

 

and the Raw bar (we ate there on our last day)

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

When we got to Oshehaan's I requested a table for two, and she replied. "Sorry sir no room, only have tables for 6". My guess was that only the big booths were available all the way in the back. So I did not think much of it, and we moved on to find another place for lunch. Little did I know that this was a pattern that would repeat itself very often on that voyage.

 

So we kept on waking and ended up in Savor, we were sat promptly and given our menus.

 

 

 

 

 

The restaurant was pretty busy, although not full.

 

 

Service during this lunch was pretty quick, personally I think it was that quick because Muster was soon to follow. I think it was the fastest service we ever go in the ship. The food came out really quick.

 

I ordered the Portobello mushroom. Unfortunately, I did not have my cheese pills with me (remember when I unloaded everything in the room, well the pills were there), and I had to scrape off most of the goat cheese. The dish was very tasty but rather small. Food was nice and hot.

 

Mom got the shrimp salad, it looked very nice. She enjoyed it.

 

[gambee]

Then she got the NY strip, very nice as well.

 

And I got the fish and chips. (but keep that malt vinegar away from me!!!)

My dish was very good! Although again rather small.

 

 

Dessert menu

 

 

Panacotta, very nice.

 

Strawberry short cake, not so much...

 

Overall lunch was good, good service and good food. I believe they have the same lunch menu everyday for the MDR, but I could be wrong.

 

 

Ok folks that's it for now, I am starving going to make something to eat and I will post later on. Hope everyone is enjoying everything so far.

We then left the spa, thank God they did not talked me into buying the pass. I was borderline about that, she told me they sell out in before 3pm and gave me a smile. Mom was pushing me to buy it and I kept telling to wait and see H2O, if she was a good sales person I would of bought it, no doubt about it.

 

Oohhh, I, also, am undecided about buying the spa pass. I guess I'll have to decide quickly once I get onboard. Do they sell them AT the spa? I "think" I get two free spa passes through the Casino and I need to find out for sure about that before I board because if I do, that might be all I'll need. Decisions.....decisions!

[gambee]

Buffet fan: You're very welcome, you now it is awquard when I meet people on board and I feel like they know so much about me, but I know nothing about them :D

 

qvenedandan: Glad you found me, thank you for the nice comment.

 

keg: Ohhhhh ok, yeah, I am not even sure where the tokens are now. I think I lost them. Thank you for your kind words Kim, I have to start looking this year. I am dire need of change :).

 

hpecorari: That is pretty much how I was, so undecided. Yeah they sell them at the Spa.

[SissasMomE]

Wow - H2O is really, really small! I liked it so much better with the stadium seating. I wonder why they took it out? It just seems so plain now.

I'll be paying particular attention to this as I will be in a party of two. Sure others may find this of interest also.

 

Gambee - Thank you so much for your efforts. :)

They should have seated them at the table for 6. If it were me, and there weren't any parties of 6 waiting, I would have "suggested" that.

[Bellaloomp]

Wow.

[sarahecohen]

Wow.

 

Indeed! Was just telling him his photos look gorgeous and he had the nerve to say he doesn't agree! All your readers will probably DISagree with you, Gambee!

Yes!! Definitely!

[Shaydi]

after reading the menu and seeing those pictures, I'm hungry too

[gambee]

I have never seen it in Epic, but I have seen pictures. But I can tell you for our sailing it worked good. I have many more pictures of H2O, but they are spread out. I will post them as I go.

Gambee - Thank you so much for your efforts. :)

 

Well don't get me wrong, the place was packed. They have a lot of tables for 2 and 4, but they were all occupied.

 

They should have seated them at the table for 6. If it were me, and there weren't any parties of 6 waiting, I would have "suggested" that.

 

I tough of that for a second and then I realised the wait that it must take for the food to come out with a restaurant at capacity. So I took a pass, but I agree, she should of have taken us to the larger table. Not very accommodating.

[cruzinlady1947]

Such beautiful pictures. Love the fedora......but would look nicer on your head with a front view from the neck up.....:p;)

 

Gwen :)

[Maryfrei]

Photos are amazing, the best I have seen!

[boyreporter]

Seriously, Gambee, these are some of the most gorgeous photos I've ever seen. Even more psyched for our cruise now.

Our poor little bags getting wet. Notice all the strings hanging? Well we finally figured out a way to recognize them, cheesy I know, lol.

 

 

 

That's not cheesy at all Gambee! You should see my bags!! I use huge curly bows that are all different colors (the type you put on gifts). No way of missing my bags. So your idea is very subtle :D

[bermuda8553]

Hi Gambee, I'm loving the pictures especially the one of our room!LOL! I was so excited to see that the balcony had lounge chairs. Hopefully they will still be there when I get on. This will be my first aft balcony and I'm hoping it lives up to all the hype, and after seeing the picture I don't think I will be disappointed. Keep up the good work you are so great to be doing this for all of us to enjoy and also for all the tips we'll have for our uncoming cruise. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

[Dandy7]

I just sold a picture of "The Gambee" in his natural environment, a hot tub, to the National Enquirer for a tidy sum of money.

 

Damn, Shaun! You beat me to it. I was actually thinking of getting in the tub w/him and & Mom and having my wife take the picture.:D

[SliceOfLife]

What! You got gold coins? I didn't get any :( Maybe because you had an awesome aft and I had a lonely balconette?

 

I'm at work so I can catch up on your review now! I have 1,000 pictures to sort through and post up later.

[BugsyCruiser]

My friend your pictures are incredible. You've inspired me to try and make mine even better than my previous cruises on my next LIVE review in November :)

That's not cheesy at all Gambee! You should see my bags!! I use huge curly bows that are all different colors (the type you put on gifts). No way of missing my bags. So your idea is very subtle :D

 

I do the same thing but with multi-colored yarn that I braid and tie to both handles. I also found letter stickers that have a map print on them and put my name on my bag with those LOL I have actually seen my bag being loaded while sitting on the plane:D

No coins for my either. Wonder what they were for?

[cruisenshop]

Gambee,

As a seasoned cruiser who has been lucky to sail on most lines, I LOVE your reviews and THANK YOU for this one. It is making my upcoming BREAKAWAY cruise that much better! Great work, keep it coming! :)
