Rare The-Inside-Cabin Posted March 28, 2022 Author #277 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Jim Hodson put on an amazing performance last night. His rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" on a Ukulele was incredible. Edited March 28, 2022 by The-Inside-Cabin 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooddoctor Posted March 29, 2022 #280 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I've been following your 'blog' of this cruise in anticipation of our 10/3/22 Hawaii - So. Pacific 45 day cruise on the Zuiderdam. You've done an Outstanding job of reporting. I did same thing for our 49 day cruise around So. America back in 2019. Had a lot of fun with it. Keep up the great work.

This is a long cruise so I would expect that. I got off the koningsdam 10 days ago. The only lobster available had to be purchased. I've always found the lobster in the MDR and the one you purchase in the Pinnacle not worth the money. I had lobster tail in sel de mer and it was fantastic.

I wonder if the lobster in the Rudi pop ups is the same as on the Pinnacle ships? I’m not sure. Truth be told they are probably both frozen. I usually had fish when I went to the sel de mer restaurant and it was very good but I think I’ll be having the lobster going forward. It’s been a minute since I’ve been on the non pinnacle ship.

SJSULIBRARIAN Posted March 31, 2022 #297 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Perhaps there was a Mariner's Luncheon because it was such a long cruise and there were multiple Covid tests throughout the 35 days. There were no Mariner's Luncheons on the 2 7-day cruises I have taken, just the 4 and 5 star receptions on the 1st day of the cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just a Filet with Shrimp! It looks like I said that steak and lobster is back. It was the op of this thread. It may be on long cruises. It’s not on 7 day. I think people are reading various things on this thread and assuming it’s the same on every cruise. This is a 35 day cruise (I believe). I think people will be disappointed if the assume this is business as usual. Hal has cut food on shorter cruises. Nothing to do with supply chain as others assumed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We "swam" thru engine cans filled with days old garbage. But even those ceremonies have been cleaned up in the modern Navy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
