Rare sid_9169 Posted February 19, 2019 Author #427 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Now, I was headed to La Cucina for dinner... I basically just ordered everything on the menu that interested me... Beef carpacio, shrimp ravioli, and what turned out to be the best steak of the week, cooked a perfect medium rare... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 19, 2019 Author #428 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Then, I just wandered around some more to try and burn some of the ten thousand calories I had just consumed... Is it just me or does that one photo look like someone choking a baby? 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted February 19, 2019 #429 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yikes that's a lot of food! Looking forward to reading more and more and more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taraavo Posted February 19, 2019 #430 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It 100% looks like someone choking a baby. La Cucina is looking good. Glad I made a reservation there for my upcoming cruise. Thanks for continuing to share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 19, 2019 Author #431 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm here at work now, trying to remember how to do my job... And, to my delight and surprise, I ended up getting paid for the days that I took off... Bonus!!!... More to come later. I have pretty much gone through all the content of my main phone, but there's still a whole lot more on the Droid turbo II... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiring soon Posted February 19, 2019 #433 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi all! sid_9169 ~ I'm enjoying your review & thinking about what I missed out on when I cancelled my Breakaway cruise in April to do the Pearl TA. This is the 2nd time I've cancelled cruises from New Orleans so hopefully one day I'll sail from there. What did you think about sailing down the Mississippi? Could you see any sights or was it dark? You had me loling a few times especially the topless story then drooling over some of the food pictures! Glad you got paid for your days away, sounds like a nice boss you have at your new job! Looking forward to more of your review. ~ Jo ~ 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EganFire Posted February 19, 2019 #434 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Reading your posts have inspired me to attempt my first ever live post on my upcoming Bliss trip. I really have found useful information from you and you find some great hidden gems in ports. Every consider posting more about each port as a separate forum? Thanks for posting and I hope the post I do soon will help others like yours has helped me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lupush Posted February 19, 2019 #438 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Sid! Thanks for documenting another one of your trips. I was on Bliss in December shortly after you, and recently booked Breakaway for July when she comes down to Miami. I can also attest to the effectiveness of the Rebound patches. I ordered them after reading your Bliss review, and they worked like a charm! I do have one question for you however...... (pardon my asking)... You (like me) look to be a bit OCD when it comes to cleanliness, washing hands, room keys, etc. I'm surprised you'd ever eat in a joint like Scotchies. Can you explain the logic to me? Again, pardon my asking. I just always want to try things when I'm in the Caribbean, but end up turning it down since the sanitary conditions are most of the time lacking. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your complements, and there's still plenty more to come! I've hardly even covered the actual ship yet... Yes, I indeed do have some pretty rough OCD... I guess that I just have a thirst for adventure and interesting foods, that I just sort of over look things like that...

I had to cancel my 19 day Getaway TA in October (which ends in NOLA) due to work issues but like you have wanted to sail down the Mississippi (just to say I did). You should join us! Stop by our Roll Call...it is a fun group! Sid - enjoyable review as always and beautiful sunset and food photos. Looking forward to more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, they lowered the price of Patron silver under the $15 limit. I did enjoy a few shots of nicer tequila for about $6 over the limit, but they were few and far between...
