I guess you will have the definitive word on the soup containers. 😆 Yes I will see what they are like. Soup containers or coffee cups won’t make a difference to me. They both hold liquids and I can drink from either. 🥂 I’m not really expecting any problems or issues in my dungeon (I say that in jest). As long as they feed me I’ll be ok. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow I’ll try the avocado 🥑 margarita Let me know which you like better.

I tested positive for covid and will get moved to a covid room in the morning. I’m hoping he doesn’t get it. I’ve spent about 102 days on ships since September and it finally caught up with me. 😩 🤕 Sorry to hear that Renee, seems these stories are more and more likely since there is pretty much no longer any protocols being done onboard. Report back if you can when things settled down just how full the quarantine area is where they put you. Did they tell you how many days you have to be down there? What are your symptoms? Overall how bad is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted May 10, 2022 #113 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Great review. Thank you for all the pics and I love your writing style. One question which Embassy Suites did you stay at in Fort Lauderdale? Was it close to the terminal? Have a Kraken Colada for me. Any liquor shortages? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Researcher Posted May 10, 2022 #114 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Great review. Love all the photos! BTW, we also love the MDR for lunch when it's available. Actually breakfast too but I'm not normally up early enough except port days if we have an excursion. LOL Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy chatting with people at the bar but so far have been sitting by myself at dinner. Not a fan of eating with strangers but that's just me. A lot of solo cruisers that I know just eat in the WJ but for now I'm good with the MDR. Have the 3 night dining package for today's cruise. Going to Jamies, 150 CP and Chops. I have only been on 2 cruises and then the pandemic happened. The first time we had a fantastic group of gals (single mom and two daughters) that kept up entertained at the table. One daughter was crushing on my son. Some other table mates rarely showed up and when they did, they were friendly and had a teen grandson that spent most of the cruise looking for his lost hat. Now during our second cruise, our table mates were some really interesting couple traveling with their daughter. It seems now that I think about it, we were travelling with our son and they purposely did that to get the teens to mingle and grouped us with other families with teens. Anyway, our second cruise table mates were always fighting and tipsy and though it should have been more embarrassing for them it was entertaining for us all. It seemed like we were all in that dysfunctional temporary cruise family .. LOL! Breakfast on both cruises was a bit more fun, because we sat with people that really wanted to mingle it seems like and just positive conversation. We cruise again in a few months (since pandemic) without my son, so it will be just the husband and I. I don't know if we will opt for sitting with others or request a booth to be alone. We will see how adventurous we feel at that time. Edited May 10, 2022 by DeniD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z_cruisers Posted May 10, 2022 #118 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hi, Loving your review! We were on the Allure on March and started most evenings in the Pub. There is a very nice Ukrainian bartender in there and we had several conversations with him. Also he makes an AMAZING espresso martini!!! We'll be back on again next month and cant wait to see him again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you are out enjoying the evening as well. I got stood up! Waited about half hour and no one showed up, unfortunately I didn’t have contact info. I’m thinking that maybe too much fun in Costa Maya but oh well. Walked around Windjammer and food selections didn’t appeal to me. Then I was turned down at Sabor because I didn’t have reservations even though the place was 3/4 empty😡. I decided to treat myself to tapas at Vintages and it was delicious. Started talking to only other couple in there and we ended up having a great conversation for almost two hours. After that I walked around ship. Found Richard Branson and stalked him 😬, followed him into the shop, figured he’d offer to buy me a Brietling or at least a Rolex or two, hell or the entire inventory 😏 Finished my evening on the balcony enjoying my leftovers 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sailed solo for a number of years. I find a table of 8 provides a good mix usually - if not after a night or two ask for a table change. Last cruise someone on roll organized a table of 12. Also provided familiar faces that you met up again on excursions or bar or wherever on ship. Don't mind windjammer for breakfast or lunch but find it "lonely" for dinner.
