Trainman-2 Posted September 10, 2013 Author #229 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Dinner in the Windjammer WOW! Just WOW! Carved Tenderloin of Beef My dinner included Beef Tenderloin, Roast Duck, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Lobster Bisque, Red Cabbage, and an unknown vegetable dish. Judith had a Hamburger with Mushrooms, Seafood Salad, Watermelon with Cantelope and Kiwi and her favorite Sour Dough Rolls. It was calm and quiet. We didn't see a single kid. The Senior Staff was there wandering from table to table making sure everyone was happy. As we were getting ready to leave I herd another couple comment on how attentive everyone was. We agree! It was a wonderful dinner. On the way our we spotted this really nice carved watermelon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justforkicks Posted September 10, 2013 #230 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Why did you cancel? Because of the new smoking policy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmf123 Posted September 10, 2013 #231 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Tonight is the first formal night and since we are being very informal we will be heading up to the Windjammer soon for dinner. Trainman, I just wanted you to know that I'll miss seeing you in your military dress uniform. You looked amazing on formal night, and I'll always remember those pics. Casual is good too though- enjoy the Windjammer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted September 10, 2013 Author #235 Share Posted September 10, 2013 To be clear... We cancelled our cruises in 2014 because of the new Smoking Policy. When we got to looking at how much money we will save next year we decided to cancel our Christmas Cruise also. The money we save will pay for a barn and some other improvements to our new house. So we are taking a year or so off from cruising but we will cruise again, maybe with RCI, maybe not. Follow my "BLOGS" in the Friends of Cruise Critic Section. I post there almost every day when we are not cruising. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see you on the RCI forum but if not I'll be checking out your blog. Maybe you can turn us on to a new cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted September 10, 2013 Author #249 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thoughts on Parking at the Port... We drove from the Hotel to the Port and arrived a bit before 10 am. It was less than a 10 minute drive. The Handicapped Cruisers tend to be among the first off of the ship so the Handicapped Spaces in RCI's parking lot open up early. We got a good spot, parked, and unloaded all of our stuff. I will shoot a photo when we get off. We have figured out how to "nest" our suit cases behind our walkers and the walk from the car to the spot where we check in the bags is probably less than 100 feet. So for us, even though it costs more, we can get off the ship, have a porter deliver our two bags directly to the car, load up, and be on our way in minutes. It is quick and convenient!
