Sambucca At Ocean Bar.....

[sail7seas]

I just took out a pocketbook I've not carried since forever but it is high quality and classic so it sat on the shelf in my closet. :)

 

At the bottom of the pocketbook, I found the Guest Copy of the former style bar checks HAL formerly used. They were printed in duplicate and bartender/ship kept one copy while giving the other to the guest.

 

I had a glass of Sambuca and imagine it must have been Romana as I used to have those years ago every once in a while after dinner. The slip is dated November, 2003 anda the charge was $4.75.

 

I'd be so interested to compare what the cost would be today! :D

 

What fun to find this little piece of HAL memory.

I clearly recall we were aboard the beautiful Maasdam b-to-b, over Thanksgiving and Arjen van der Loo was Captain while Pam Kern was GRM. :)

 

We had a Blast that cruise. :)

And DH and I had fun just now reminiscing about that cruise.

I'm not sure what Sambucca is going for today, but, I have a small collection of cruising memorabilia with me at all times. I usually tote around at least one HAL identification card. Also currently carting a Cunard Queen Elizabeth luggage tag receipt.

 

Just whimsical cruising memories that remind me "Yes, I have been on a ship and will return to this magical place very soon"...

THank you. Appreciate your finding that info.

 

Just about 25% increase in Ten years.

We love Sambucca and have it once in a while.

When I got to the age I had to watch calories, I stopped drinking it and haven't had any in years but I used to really enjoy it after dinner. Brought back lots of memories finding that bar slip. :)

 

Makes me think of having a glass one evening on our next cruise.......for old time sake. ;)

Go for it, and enjoy it; and don't even think of calories. :D

Jonathan, do I remember correctly that you were married on the Noordam when it was in port in NYC?

[sail7seas]

:o I'm not Jonathan but lest he not return soon,

you remember correctly, Carol. :)

LOL. Judy. I know you're not Jonathon.

 

Sam and I met him and his wife on the Eurodam inaugural out of NYC several years ago. But, thanks for corroborating that for me. My memory isn't as good as it used to be.:eek:
