Rare Wildcatllamas Posted October 11, 2021 #1776 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I shared a link to this thread with some folks who will be on the same cruise I am on in December. They are TA, as well, and they absolutely loved all of your photos. Your photos beat all to he!! the stock photos from Virgin. Nice work! And I am at work today as well. Besides being a part-time TA I also work in a casino, so no holidays off for me. We will survive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 11, 2021 Author #1777 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Significant downgrade from the food I've been enjoying all week on the ship and in Miami... Kroger pizza. Tonight, though the owner of my company is taking me to dinner at a nice restaurant as a late birthday dinner... Stay tuned... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am real old school and only have a simple flip phone. Honestly, I believe that it would be next to impossible to sail without a smartphone, as everything as far as online check in is performed on the app... Also, on board everything you do is tied to the app... You could try calling and asking them yourself, but they're known for giving inaccurate information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyJut Posted October 11, 2021 #1782 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Unable to like or post most of yesterday. Sad it’s over with but happy it was even better than you hoped. All that walking must be good for your metabolism as holy moley you can put away some food not to mention beverages-and still stay slim. Looking forward to your next cruise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 11, 2021 Author #1784 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The birthday celebration continues soon at Houston's West Paces Ferry... If you've never heard of them, they're owned by the Hillstone Group, and it's pretty high end dining. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BohJang Posted October 11, 2021 #1791 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Sid - You're killing me. We have leftover pork and cabbage and cornbread. But I'm on my second martini - so at least there's that. Enjoy your feast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted October 12, 2021 #1792 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I don’t get a lunch break at work, just a 15 minute break. Got home and heated up some leftover baked ziti. Woohoo. Forget about dinners at a steakhouse! Enjoy yourself, Sid. You are a very lucky guy. Off to watch Below Deck with some wine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 12, 2021 Author #1795 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Dun dun dun!!!...... Margarita issues... I've personally eaten at this place dozens of times, maybe fifty or more at least... Their margaritas are always spot on, every single time, no matter what... Well, on the first round to, we bought them straight from the bar, from the main bartender. They were maybe 80% as good as usual, but not up to their usual standard. The second round arrived, and something at this point was clearly off. It tasted like mostly lime and whatever else is in a margarita that's NOT tequila... I'm not accusing them of trying to short us, just that whoever mixed them must've been new... Anyhoo, they ended up bringing over a glass half full of tequila over to our table, and suggested that we "augment" our drinks with that... The point wasn't that they weren't strong enough, it's just because they didn't possess the "balance" that's expected at such a high level establishment... Long story short: they brought over a glass full of straight tequila... That story aside: my main course this evening was the double cut pork chop with red cabbage with goat cheese, and the pomme puree (aka: mashed potatoes) 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
