travelinjones Posted December 6, 2018 Author #58 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Had dinner at the Tamarind with new menu. The biggest issues for us is no Sushi option. If you want sushi you have to pay a la cart prices. there is a new Curry Barramundi which was excellent along with the Crab fried rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelinjones Posted December 7, 2018 Author #66 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Good morning Cartagena! last night was our first gala and went off flawlessly. Seemed to be the standard Iberico Ham-shrimp cocktail-escargot followed by filet/shrimp-lamb chop-sole-mushroom risotto. All excellent especially the iberico ham. Off to the local el Corte Inglese will post some more pictures later ( additions to the MDR breakfast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelinjones Posted December 7, 2018 Author #67 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) It sounds like the PR, press and corporate will be leaving tomorrow from Malaga. They cancelled our Pinnacle Reservations tonight as they are having a private event so they maybe having a send off dinner for them Mr Orlando gave a state of the company presentation was nicely done. One point during the Q&A he was asked about the poor state of the website. He responded that he was well aware of the issue and had a team working on it Time will tell :—) still a few contractors on board. They were working on some Dutch Cafe decorations yesterday, imaging they are also gunning to get off in Malaga as well.

travelinjones Posted December 7, 2018 Author #68 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) New section of the MDR breakfast or at least new to us. The second picture is the Quinoa parfait. Mrs Jones liked it while Mr. Jones is skeptical. Edited December 7, 2018 by travelinjones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelinjones Posted December 7, 2018 Author #69 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) We’ve tracked down a local cafe we had been to before. Plaza Cafe and are having our second brekfast or merienda. Place is full of workers having their snacks, cafe con leche and reading the paper. We decided on some tortilla espanola and coffee all for 2 euros. Such a deal !! Edited December 7, 2018 by travelinjones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelinjones Posted December 7, 2018 Author #73 Share Posted December 7, 2018 We made it to the el Corte Ingles department store and in the Christmas area stumbled on the “Magic Christmas Forest” (rough translation). We wandered though and came across a presentation by the Christmas Wolf (best we could guess). And while we could not understand it and the story was not familiar the rapt attention of the kids was universal we also found the Jamon section with some of the legs fetching 700 euros On the way back in a tip of the hat to POA we stopped by a wine bodega, but as we were outside enjoying the sun an Estrella seemed more appropriate. All in all a great day in Cartagena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelinjones Posted December 7, 2018 Author #75 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) We had lunch at the Pinnacle yesterday (that menu at least has not changed). We lost track of time talking to another Gentlemen and missed the Wine Tasting. In talking to our tablemate over 250 4 and 5 star mariners attended. Quite the group. We also chatted with the Cellar master who we have sailed several times with. He mentioned that the Cellar master’ Dinner had 80 guests confirmed so far (and its still nearly a week away). We have had amazing times at these CM dinners but they have tended to be much smaller so will see how it works out.
