Day 6

 

La Cucina 

 

I was warned about the pizza by my server that they did not get the right cheese and not to order it… did I listen?  noooooo … and wow it was bad…. It had to go back… it was rubbery and the crust was like a bread.. nothing like the pizza on Royal or Carnival.

Day 6

 

La Cucina 

 

I also had the snapper / stew thing and the fish and the shrimp came out raw.  I couldn’t even cut it with a fork and knife so at this point they pretty much open the menu to me so I tried everything 😂

Thank goodness for a late arrival… caught up on my sleep!  Someone should really read this before printing… it’s got a lot of wrong information on page 1

7 PM … you have to be on the tender at 6PM.  It does not wait for you so if there is a delay on the transit that will be very bad

Thanks. We leave At 4.30pm so our last tender will be at 3.30. I’m trying to decide between our original plan of walking around Dublin or whether to go to Guinness. Looks like a late morning tour will give us a lunchtime pint and still have a few hours to get back. I had been planning on lunch and a pint in Temple Bar. Decisions…….

I did about 3 days worth…After I got home from Adventure of the Seas I started my research.  With this type of itinerary I highly recommend using international day pass on the phone so you can look up information as you travel.  I did not use the ship’s Wi-Fi at all.
