Beer Belly Posted July 11, 2022 #201 Share Posted July 11, 2022 We reserved an Ocean Villa on GSC, I could hear the music playing from the main beach area I should of headed over there, sounded like a good time, our area was too quite for my taste.....I like a party atmosphere. Ocean Blue, Bread was great, Scallops with Pork Bellies was phenomenal, I had some sort of Fisherman's Platter.....food poisoning took me out for almost 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, my other favorite hangout is the Sunset Bar, outside on deck 8. Cool group of people hang out there, plus they make a good Manhattan, just not the Smokey kind.

Listened right in front of them for about 30 minutes while drinking a beer. It was scorching hot, though. Those Villas looked really nice. But, would have been a waste on me. It seemed most gathered around the food and bar areas. I found a nice lounger under a tree a little further away. Which was perfect for me!

Rare graphicguy Posted July 11, 2022 Author #204 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Got a CC M&G in about 30 minutes at Cagney’s. So far, entertainment, drinks, food, service have been great….regardless of the venue. Even Garden Cafe was good yesterday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still be passed out...and definitely not ready to go to a M&G. You're living large so far! Keep on having a blast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Villa was nice, don't get me wrong, we shared the entire Cove with 6 other people, no real action, no party, no dancing to the music, a little disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I spend most of my time in other parts of the ship. Being at what is essentially capacity, it doesn’t feel crowded. Around the pool area it is. But, it’s a sea day….so that’s expected! Even the elevators aren’t crowded and they’re quick! Lots of pleasanT surprises…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in the Haven bar on the Escape almost every night. Top notch and different where they add maple syrup to it instead of simple syrup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted July 11, 2022 Author #225 Share Posted July 11, 2022 After frying yesterday, and being “entertained” by folks is the main pool area, decided to move inside… First, stopped in the room for a quick shower and to change clothes. Found COOKIES…..😋 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
