They had a silly question with much speculation. They wanted to know if you have a Service Animal - Where does it GO. I chuckled and said Henrietta is such a lady she would probably say - I use the toilet where else. LOL That is definitely the number 1 (no pun intended) question that I get asked about her on the cruise ship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1612 is on the right side of the ship)... Best any way. As they say Port Out Starboard Home (to and from England that is, ie POSH)🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea... my understanding was that that was in reference to sailing from the UK to India. We are POSH regardless. LOL 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see Captain George Staff Captain Nigel and Chief Engineer Nigel. They were just lit and about. We met Nigle Smyth on our last cruise before lock down. Great bloke to chat to. We had riding motorcycles in common. I think he had a BMW GS which he used for touring. Do we all get to see your RS, most of us perhaps will never have the good fortune to be able to sail in one. Hear a great first leg. Edited April 9, 2022 by Redrobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted April 9, 2022 #438 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I see they are still showing John Flynn as the Hotel Director. We were told it was someone else and even received a letter from that person as HD. No need to dig into just interesting factoid. We were impressed by Daniel and his team. I think you will be too. They all worked together and took great care of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said - you Brits eat so so early. I finally figured out my confusion about the lawns by the Sunset Bar. They took the lawns out on both Port and Starboard sides. Nicely done. On the crossing the Starboard side has nice shade most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not recall our meeting Violetta but then again I believe the Zenith's are better taken care of. Just wait until you stop by the Retreat Lounge in the morning and meet Mercy. She is just so full of life and energy. She treated us great. So did Anthony the bartender. My wife kept him confused the whole cruise by not ordering the same thing every time (she kept swapping between Cranberry juice and Ginger Ale as her mixer). Yes the only real lawn left now is between the Lawn Club Grill and the aft stack where the big screen TV is located. (above the giant sized wooden chairs).

We loved it and our first time in Aqua. Blu was very nice. Now I know about the petite filets as back up if I don’t like anything on offer!

I said we will have to order the Grilled Cheese Sandwich again for lunch. When I had it last time the Chef actually made it out of 3 different types of cheese. Was really yummy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 9, 2022 Author #447 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Many had asked on our Roll Call about the weather on an Mid-Atlantic East Bound TA. Thought I might pass on as we travel east. There was a cool front moving into Southern Florida just as we left so was very mild. First Day at Sea - Temperatures - 65 - 72 Winds - Westerly 25-30 MPH Swells - 10-12 Ft Clouds - Scattered from one of my favorite apps.

We were in Niagara Falls Canada last September and in the little bistro in the Hilton we had their "Not your children's grilled cheese sandwich" it had 3 cheeses, thick slices of bacon and a chipotle aioli sauce, it was the absolutely best one we have ever had, and neither of us are great fans. Was this one you describe in the Luminae? I may want one on the Reflection in August. Maybe the Chef would add bacon as bacon makes everything better. Glad you and Lain are having a fabulous time so far. Loved the pic of the Royal Suite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
