Live review of my Vacation including MSC Seaside from Genoa 18th Sep.2021

[Itochen33]

After I had a serious brain fart yesterday I forgot to upload the menu of the champagne bar… here it is! I just made screenshots from the per glass page and the Cocktails though.

 

 

fun fact about my phone… autocorrect hates me… I think it is because I have the keyboard for three languages on it…

 

Vulcan Clingon

 

thats what my phone changes the one Champagne to every time I give it in… 😂🤣😂 and now try to type in Veuve Clicquot on your own when you had a few glasses of it!

[Itochen33]

Starter:

Spring rolls! Sorry… already took a bite… like I said… i am starving!!!

[Itochen33]

Waiter: Another glass of champagne madame?

Me: no thanks! A glass of Bordeaux please!

Waiter: Bordaux?

Me: Yes, Bordaux.

Waiter: What is Bordaux?…

Me:… red wine…

Waiter: flits away… comes back with maitre d… What you want madame?… (Alex is already pissing himself)

Me: smirking widely: a glass of Bordaux…

Alex the maitre d: turns to the waiter: look at today’s menu… the red wine…

Waiter: yes! But what is Bordaux?

Me and Alex faceplanting…

Alex the maitre d: i get you your wine Betty…

Me: Thank you Alex… take him with you and show him…

Alex: nods and drags the guy behind himself…

[Itochen33]

Main:

the smooth hound (the potato is BIGGER than the piece of fish 😂)

 

incredibly SALTY!!! Never had smooth hound though and wanted to try it.

 

AND the Canelloni:

 

i wish the portion was bigger… DAMN it was good!

[Itochen33]

Got my glass of Bordaux!

[Itochen33]

And dessert!:

the Tropezienne

 

not bad… but not quite my taste… still ate all of it…

[Itochen33]

MIGHT have to kill Alex now… I am suddenly swarmed by waiters… all of them asking me if I need something!… and he is pissing himself laughing in the service station 😂🤣😂

😂🤣😂 lost in translation 😂🤣😂

my favorite is always

Guest calling from room: can I drink the water from the toilet? (Mostly Asian guests do that…)

Me at the reception grinning from ear to ear every time that happens: Sure! But please wait till I am there with a camera! Otherwise you can drink the water from the tab everywhere in Germany.

 

My colleagues always roll on the floor laughing and don’t have to ask anymore what the question was…

 

another good one is the Indian guest…

Guest: whot apota poto???

waiter: aaahhh…

Guest: poto? No?

waiter: scrambles… fetches me…

Me: raises eyebrow at both of them.

waiter: I don’t understand him.

Guest: He\she nod understand!

Me: yeah…got that… what can i do for you?

Waiter: talk to him/her! *looks at me desperate*
Guest: Whot apota Poto?

Me grinning…smirking really: Butter will be with you in a moment…

Waiter: faceplants and fetches Butter…

Me: telling the guest to have a pleasant day and find me at reception should there be any problems… walking back to reception grinning from ear to ear…

 

i can write a book about those situations…

I thought the guest was asking "what about a photo" 🤣

Photo sounds more like Phato. And they always hold their phones out then already 😂

[Itochen33]

Also always nice is the ‚snipahhh‘ and the ‚hadwadaaaa‘. They are pretty common though.  
 

slippers and kettle 😂

[Itochen33]

Dinner!:

[Itochen33]

Starter:

The Cuttlefish salad

 

Tasty, could have been a little bit more acidic… the raisins came as a surprise!…

[Itochen33]

Thank you Alex!

 

 

got it without asking! Bring me the booooze!!!

[Itochen33]

I just got that my glass of Cabernet looks exactly the same as my glass of Bordaux from lunch 😂 I am NOT nipping on the same glass for the last 6 hours….

there where MANY glasses of champagne between them…

[Itochen33]

Main:

Risotto (again) with lamb

 

GOD it was so good…

[Itochen33]

Dessert:

Limoncello cake with Malaga icecream

 

is it weird if I ask them to bring me the entire tray out? 🤔🤔🤔

[MarkusToe]

I've to compare this sizes to YC dinner, that's more than double....
