Took a peek into Teppanyaki

 

We have eaten here before so we skipped it on this trip

Day one dinner was at Le Bistro

 

 

 

 

 

 

Started dinner with some bread

 

[loupana]

Excellent Mushroom soup

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't look too big in the pot but once I spooned it out onto the plate it was huge

 

[loupana]

and to finish dinner off...

 

 

 

To finish off the night DW looked over the Sandbar shop

 

 

 

 

[loupana]

Caught a Levity Comedy show in Headliners with Rodney Laney

 

 

 

Then off to the Theater for the Welcome Aboard Show for a preview of the entertainment

If you haven't used uber or lyft before you can get 20-30.00 off your first ride if you use someone's uber code. Probably would make it less than 10.00 total

Oh and I can't forget about our late night snack from Garden Cafe, wings were great went back looking for them on other nights in the buffet but never saw them after day 1.

 

 

 

 

Had a wonderful day one, got a good night's sleep and then we started day 2 with Breakfast in Taste

Earlier I took in a presentation on shore excursions

 

 

I booked the Skyride to Paradise Point for $20 per person on the ship, tickets were $21 at the gondola

 

 

I took in a Teppanyaki demo in the Atrium, it was a sales pitch to book the restaurant but it was hilarious

Guest Services area

 

 

Cruise Consultant / Internet Cafe area

Day 2 at 5:30 in the Garden Cafe was the Seafood Buffet, all they had was scampi, shrimp and some battered fish (did not try the battered fish), shrimp was good

 

 

Had our Seafood snack, then went to the Show "After Midnight" it was good but I would not go see it again

 

Theater and Stage photo before show began...

 

 

[loupana]

Tonights dinner was in the Manhattan Room

 

 

Food Photo's did not turn out well tonight, didn't get good shots in the dark lighting...but will post them anyway

 

 

 

 

FYI, I do not recommend the Veal Oscar. I will never order that again

[loupana]

Finished off dinner with coffee and dessert

 

 

Loved the Lava Cake

 

Took some night shots around the pool

Late night entertainment in the Atrium

 

 

Called it a night and tonight we got a towel animal

Lou, Not knowing much about the ship, makes me nervous. We are going in April. 17 of us. a few questions:

 

Did you make reservations ahead of time for the shows in the theater or comedy club?

 

Margaritaville is till pay to eat correct?

 

How crowded were the free dining rooms at night, would tables for 6 be waiting long???

 

 

thanks, John

Answer: YES, you can make reservations online before your cruise for the shows but not for comedy at Headliners it was not available for online reservations before our cruise. So I made all headliner reservations on my tv in the cabin on day 1.

 

Margaritaville is till pay to eat correct?

Answer: YES it is now a pay restaurant

 

How crowded were the free dining rooms at night, would tables for 6 be waiting long???

Answer: I don't recall any long lines, I don't think your wait would be too long but maybe someone else can comment on this.

I have never used Uber, we are in the UK but coming to Miami next month. How do you go about tipping the driver? Does it have to be in cash?

 

 

Uber is cashless. You pay the fare via the app with a credit card or Paypal. No tips required. Actually I don't think they are supposed to accept any tips. It's all inclusive. More secure for the drivers.
