There's also fruit punch in the WJ and lemonade (American version) in a couple of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Cafe closes at 6PM so that doesn't help much either. After the Windjammer closes it is Cafe Promenade, Sorrento's, or a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judebarsto Posted April 19, 2022 #731 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Our first night we dined at 150 Central Park - we were skeptical of the food on Royal but wow! What a fantastic meal! As good as a fine dining restaurant on land: (warning, food porn coming up!)Soft buttery rolls with truffle butter, seasonings - delish! Pretty venueBraised short rib appetizer for me. Lean tender great sauce yummy mascarpone polenta Honey scallops for Stevefantastic, scallops cooked perfectly Sunchoke veloute great Lobster thermidor - yum. Waitress Christian gave us double portion bc “they were so small.” Chocolate pnut butter tart with blackberry sorbet. Really good!

I usually finish at least one book on a cruise but didn't this time. I am working on the 3rd Archer book by Baldacci at the moment. I think I've read the first Atlee Pine book, it sounds familiar. It's not in my goodreads list though, so I can't say for sure. I notice the 3rd book in that series is a Pine/Puller crossover, so I'll definitely at least read that one. I enjoy some of his other series: John Puller, Amos Decker, Will Robie all are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judebarsto Posted April 19, 2022 #734 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It rained pretty much all day today, our first sea day. But the 4:30 pm aqua show went on - the 2:30 one was canceled. Didn’t see it, though - we had reservations at 5 at Jamie’s. No food-porn-worthy pictures these last two nights BUT the escargot in the MDR were excellent and the grand marnier soufflé was off the charts! Tonight was Jamie’s, which we both thought was good but not great. We had an excellent waiter and great service. Arancini, garlic shrimp, truffle tagliatelle, lamb chops and lasagna were good - no standout here. Pavlova was awful; sorbets were so so, not a lot of intense flavor. Now we’re waiting to see Grease - should be fun. Tomorrow is Falmouth, Jamaica and it’s supposed to rain again. All week, in fact. We might try to find some jerk chicken near the port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one cruise where it rained almost all week, too. That doesn't happen often in the Caribbean. I think that cruise was in April also. Hopefully, the rain clears out for next week. I'm looking forward to sun and heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for the library to get the next Decker one in. I have so many series going I can wait for it to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read any of the Archer series yet. I'll need to give it a try. Loved Amos Decker (also waiting for the new one) and Will Robie. I also liked the Camel Club series quite a bit. John Puller was good but seemed like a rip-off of Jack Reacher. You can't really go wrong with David Baldacci. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other routings with those same islands, but in a different order on the alternative weeks. This is our same itinerary in late September. Looking forward to sailing on Harmony. We were on Odyssey at the end of Feb/early March and loved it. Especially 270 for breakfast and the aft view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judebarsto Posted April 20, 2022 #739 Share Posted April 20, 2022 We ate at Jamie’s last night. Nice venue, very good service. But the food was only ok - not well seasoned, flavorless lamb chops, lasagna was the best thing we ordered, pavlova was awful. Grease was really fantastic - great dancing, superb talent! Several performers were (dare I say) Broadway?- caliber. I would highly recommend. Guitar guy Wojciech was excellent - we’ll go see him again. Giant 90’s party last night - very loud and crazy but fun to watch, even for this senior couple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't too impressed. To be fair, we really only gave her one chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
