Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #176 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I enjoyed another nice lunch from chopsticks although I gave up trying to get a picture because my camera was acting up. I also missed a photo of two bald eagles today because of that 😕. Chopsticks and Lido lunch menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #177 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The rest of the afternoon I spent relaxing and getting my steps in. Now I'm getting ready for dinner. Formal night #1 was the only night that had a wait for dinner and there is a wait again although not as bad. 10-20 minite wait according to the app. Not too bad will pit in a request a little bit early to adjust.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #178 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Dinner was great other than the drunk guy at the next table. He was slamming his drinks pretty fast. He was an older guy so I figured he could handle his liquor. When he mistook me at the next table for his wife and started rubbing my shoulders I knew he in fact could not hold his liquor 😂🤣......I'm a 5ft 11 261lb dude so those were some serious beer goggles he had on 🤭 Dinner menu. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #179 Share Posted September 19, 2022 For a starter I got the crab cake. For my mains I ordered the filet mignon amd the teriyaki salmon. The salmon dish was the only iffy item of the meal. It was perhaps under the warmer for too long still tasted better than it looked but it was a little dried out. For dessert I got the grand mariner soufflé and the key lime mousse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #183 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Rolling out of bed after a decent night sleep. Probably gonna get some early morning exercise in and then do brunch just worried about the 10-20 minute wait turning into longer as more people wake up. Think I'll take my chances I won't starve.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #187 Share Posted September 19, 2022 30-40 wait now on brunch. Maybe I will starve. Talk was interesting but perhaps a little too long. Maybe I'm just getting hangry 😆. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #188 Share Posted September 19, 2022 36 minute wait for a table but my original assessment was correct- I did not starve. I see a new thread started about the same thing I was going to point out, the brunch menu has been scaled back quite a bit. A number of items are missing and the pay section has been expanded and of course the hours reduced. I still look forward to brunch but they have definitely taken a popular favorite on carnival and reduced it to the point of being almost unrecognizable. Happy to see the yogurt parfait still on the menu. I ordered the steak and eggs many times when it was filet and it was always bad. To me the loss of filet is no loss because that was the worst filet I've ever had and it was consistently bad. So for research I ordered the new version today. I really wanted to enjoy this so I could say to all the complainers about the missing filet how good this was. But nope - hard hard pass will not order again it was that bad. I am also happy to see my cheese grits still available I imagine if you put heaven in a bowl it would taste like those yummy cheese grits 😋. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #189 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Not satisfied with my steak i went up to Lido for some broccoli which is my secret weapon for filling my belly for not a lot of calories. They had Kung poa chicken at chopsticks which is a big weakness so I got a small plate of it to go with ny broccoli and a shrimp wonton. It was all so good I wish my brunch experience could be this good. I also got some dessert my favorite of all the cakes the chocolate peanut butter cake. The chocolate extravaganza has returned and there were a lot of tempting items to choose from but I resisted except for my one piece of cake.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #190 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I'm making a good comeback on the duck hunt. I found 3 today bringing it to 5-7. I'm at least back in the race. I went by the cabin just now to brag and my mom is taking a nap so I'm gonna go look for more and work in some exercise time before the q & a event at 3 with the CD.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #192 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Some fun facts I learned at today's q & a: There are 2065 guests this sailing. There are 1900 expected on the Panama Canal crossing. Around 175 b2b but she couldn't remember the exact number. And one not so fun fact: Masks will be required indoors on the next sailing because of the length of the cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2022 Author #195 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Headed to dinner before we arrive in Canada. Looks like we all had the same idea there is a 20-30 minute wait for a table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She indicated anything over 14 days but I'm not sure sure that is true. I thought it was at captains discretion. Easier to say carnivals rule than captain mandated it.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2022 Author #197 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The ocean is very calm as we approach Canada. Canadian sunset. From my window table I can see the sun has dropped below the mountains. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2022 Author #199 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Tonight's dinner menu. For my starter I ordered the chicken tenders. Next I had the braised short ribs. For dessert I had the baked alaska. The baked alaska has shrunk but I still enjoyed another great dinner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2022 Author #200 Share Posted September 20, 2022 After dinner I went around the ship for my platinum goodies. I missed out on the casino fun play because when I went this afternoon the line was all the way down the Promenade because it was closing at 4. If it had been real money I probably would have waited but the Spirit is set up to give you casino credit. Pass. Got my other goodies the water was a challenge because most of the bars were closed per Canadian regulation but I eventually got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
