And back to Lady O

 

 

 

[gambee]

Back towards Oasis we went.

 

 

 

 

 

So happy to be back on AC grounds.

 

 

Tuesday? You don't say.

 

[gambee]

Our new view from the FWD elevators. Much nicer than the AFT ones.

 

 

The Tv was a different brand, and the power button of the remote control never worked. Did I care? NO WAY!

 

 

The AC in this room was like night and day when compared to the other room. This one I actually had to lower to nearly half at night. Instead of sweating like pig like the other one.

 

 

Our happiness could not be put into words! This was after all my mom christmas gift, and I wanted her to enjoy it the most she could. Sure, it was a struggle, but hey, at least we got a good story to tell.

 

Check out that view!

 

 

 

[gambee]

We were so happy that we did not have to deal with them any more.

 

 

 

We went to the jacuzzi for a little while to celebrate our victory!

 

 

 

I got myself a refill. It is not a victory unless I was hammered :D

Mom with our newly found friends. They were such a nice family from Mexico. We talked a little, we truly had a great time that evening. It is such a great experience to learn about other cultures, although technically Mexican culture is not too far off from the Colombian one. They were traveling with a family of 20! How can you keep count with such a large group, I would think most people go on their own smaller groups. The kid came for a few minutes to tell his grandmother something, and then left.

 

 

I kept going back and forward from the pool to the jacuzzi. It was quite hot in the jacuzzi.

 

 

Then it was sail away time.

 

 

[gambee]

 

This is just amazing! I was having a blast taking pics.

 

 

Golden Hour!

 

 

 

Is that Eclipse? Most likely not, but it does not hurt to dream.

 

 

Everyone enjoying the sunset.

 

[gambee]

I will let the photos do the talking now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

Back in the room we had this little guy waiting for us, and welcoming to our new room.

 

 

A rooms down some folks were having a great time. And they were loud as hell, love it! Nothing better than seeing others enjoying themselves.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

We passed a smaller cruise in the distance. What is it? Azamara?

 

 

 

I moved our little friend. I forgot to mention I nearly avoided a disaster when moving rooms. I place the bottle of wine in the computer bag. The bottle was corked, but the cork was one of the soft ones and it spilled some of the wine. Thankfully, it only went in the bag, and not on the electronics or lenses. I would have died, and it was 100% my fault....

 

BillOh? See, more lives than a cat :D

 

 

 

[gambee]

We could not be more happy in our new room! Thank you Juan, although I wish RCCL got their **** under control!

 

 

 

Perfect drying spot for my cap.

 

 

We got ready and set off to go to for dinner. Before dinner we went for a little walk around the stores.

 

 

Just look at the view from there.

The best 24hr cruise pizza I've had is on Carnival, it is just a shame that the lines are so long most of the time.

The bar was getting ready for another run.

 

 

 

 

I really LOVED the art on this ship!

 

 

 

[gambee]

Our plans for that night was to go to Izumi. Just so you know we got lucky and got a seat. But I highly recommend that you make reservations. We had none.

 

 

 

Hibachi there is done in two large tables, and it is INSANELY LOUD!!! I would say that it was never this loud on NCL. And if you're not part of the Hibachi table, it can get annoying. And is coming from someone who couldn't care less about noise.

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

Make reservations! The restaurant is fairly small.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

The hibachi table is right there.

 

 

Planning for the next day. They give you complimentary edemame.

 

 

They turned a lot of people away.

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

Service was kind of slow and unorganized. Tables who were sat way later than us got their orders taken first, same server. He kind of seemed out place, and I also think they were understaffed.

 

I got mom a wonton soup. She said it was good. She loves her soups.

 

 

I got some shrimp firecracker spring roll. They were ok, I kind of wish I got something else.

 

 

[gambee]

The appetizers took so long, that I told him to bring the rolls as soon as they were ready. He brought them out immediately. That was a good thing. I actually think he might have forgotten to put our appetizer order in, or maybe it got lost in the system.

 

The champagne lobster roll in Zuzu Wrap. Lobster? Where? I mean I guess it is there, but this roll was a bust. Mom did not care for it at all, what a shame I basically ordered it for her because of the lobster. I ended up eating most of it, but it really had little to no flavor at all.

 

 

 

The Truffle Creamy Lobster Tempura. I had this roll slightly modified. It is supposed to be with raw fish inside, but mom does not eat raw fish, and I wanted her to try both lobster rolls. So they replaced the raw fish with shrimp tempura.

 

This roll was better, this is the one that mom ate most. But it was still just average for my taste.

 

 

 

[gambee]

Was this dinner worth the cost? No way! I can get much better sushi on land, for much less than that. But we did enjoy ourselves. Now that I think about it, I am not sure why I took mom there. I think for that money we should have gone to giovanies, at least I know she loves the jumbo shrimp there. And the atmosphere is much nicer as well.

 

Oh well, lesson learned.

 

 

We had some time before our Frozen show, so we went to see the second show of the headliner show.

 

 

But first we stopped for some dessert.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

I got my usual and mom got the mud cakes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

The headliner show was empty.

 

 

 

 

Mom said that he was much better than the other headliner show. I thought he was good, and funny, but not enough to keep me there for the entire show. I guess I was not in tune with his type of music.

 

 

 

[gambee]

After a little while there we went to Studio B for the frozen show.

 

This was the line for the comedy show. By the way, once again, I messed up and missed our comedy show reservations... I guess the twin sisters just don't want me to experience their comedy show.

 

 

 

We got some nice seats on the bar towards the back.
