That means I'll be drinking beer or straight tequila... I know there's no substitute for fresh lime juice but I found a mix that I think is pretty yummy. I stopped looking after I discovered this one. It's called Hella Margarita. You can get it from Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1303 Share Posted September 28, 2019 But, why? Because it was there... Stairway to heaven... Not really, it's just the stairway to Jiji Asian and Cucina del Capitano... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1304 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Some kind of fried toast... I take that back... It was fried cheese, and awesome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always carry all our luggage off the ship. It usually takes us about an hour in the morning to shower, pack and out of the cabin about 8am, no later than the 8:30am they want us out. We just hate the thought of having to spend precious time on the last evening packing! I love this!!! It really doesn't matter. Throw it all in the suit cases and go. Nice. Thank you for a new plan.....😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1307 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The couple sitting next to me at Jiji Asian... From New York, New Jersey, possibly Philly... Probably in the mafia. Guy sounds exactly like Marlon Brando... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1311 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The guys wife says "oh, it's spit" he says "it's wasabi" Of course, wasabi is Japanese, but I'm not going to correct him. He may have me "whacked"... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnbeyer Posted September 28, 2019 #1312 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Sid - I've really enjoyed your live review. You've given me so many ideas of things I must do on my next cruise, especially with regards to drinks and food, but also with exploring. I'm glad you had a fun 50th! But I think I would throw caution to wind and party tonight as well. I hate to see your cruise end. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1313 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The duck appetizer is the best thing I've eaten on the ship the entire week... Save the best for last... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1314 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Mafia guy looks over and says "hey, do you want to drink some of our wine? We're never going to finish it all" ... Of course I took him up on the offer... It was an offer I couldn't refuse...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #1315 Share Posted September 28, 2019 My cruise on the Vista began and ended at Jiji... My cruise this week on the Horizon began and is now ending at Jiji... I guess that's what you might call "bookending" ... Whatever the case, it was a good time. Even though everything didn't go exactly as I had planned it... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazV Posted September 28, 2019 #1317 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Belated Happy Birthday @sid_9169 I just binge read the last few days of posts. Your photos are awesome and your narrative is entertaining as always 🙂 I'm sailing on Encore the week before you... shame it's not the same week!

It looks like it should tip over at the slightest ship’s movement or inadvertent touch. I bet it doesn’t because it’s got a lot of weight at the base. Stemless martini glass. We had them at Alchemy in August.... Heavily weighted at bottom that prevents tipping. Searched high n low to find some when we got home. Great cocktail glasses!
