keeponcruising Posted February 2, 2016 #354 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I love your review and sense of humor. Can't wait for your Brew House craft cocktail review since I didn't make it in there on my cruise. I won't miss it the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted February 2, 2016 Author #355 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Can us feel the pull? 7pm: Founders IPA. Aqua racer slide closes at 8pm... so, why not??? Heading there now. Dad went down to Taste to get our ressies merged for 8pm. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted February 2, 2016 Author #357 Share Posted February 2, 2016 NCL slide skirt. 7:22pm - back in room after Aqua Racer twice (dbl then sgl), and drop slide once. Aqua Racer was great! For the drop slides, they apparently no longer have the 3-2-1 countdown like on the Breakaway. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted February 3, 2016 Author #361 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I actually just came close to tearing up while walking into Taste. It's our first MDR visit this trip, and naturally we were seated at the exact table location where we celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary on the Breakaway last August.

Itbeanew2 Posted February 3, 2016 #363 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Never trust the time on your cell phone while on a cruise, ever... A little trick for the time issue,, go into your Time and Date settings (under general on iPhones or iPads) and turn off 'Set Automatically' until you return to proper cell/wifi signal.

TheDougOut Posted February 3, 2016 Author #365 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Don't judge the entree pairing, but Cabernet for now.

Speasda Posted February 3, 2016 #368 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Doug - I decided to share your review with my wife as we were looking at Coki Beach and Coral World. Of course led to looking at your dinner pictures. That then led to "I wish there was a picture of the wine by the glass menu"... Just a reason to stop by a different bar on your way "home". They say "Variety is the spice of life!" Following you every morning and night. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted February 3, 2016 Author #371 Share Posted February 3, 2016 For the Drop slides, do they have you wear one of those back boards? Nope. At least not if you approach the slide and you're 6'4" and 240lbs. My sister got "stuck" on the breakaway slide. They say that if you're close to the weight requirement (100lbs,), that the board will ensure low resistance / less chance of getting stuck. Not sure at this point if this remains true on Escape.

ilovetotravel1977 Posted February 3, 2016 #372 Share Posted February 3, 2016 ok good to know, thanks! Could you also find out: How much a flight of drinks is at the Mojito bar? Can we choose which flavours are in the flight? We currently do not have the UBP, but would like to partake in this tasty treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
