The Lobster ice cream was a sample. It was a side quest from the tour guide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted October 2, 2022 Author #252 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I forgot to mention Lunch. Lunch was had at Testa’s Bar and Grill. Menu Wife had a Blueberry Martini Local Oysters. I must be spoiled living near the Chesapeake Bay. The oysters here were a bit underwhelming. Burger here was good. Wife’s Shrimp Tacos and the signature blueberry pie. Must be a Maine thing. It pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted October 3, 2022 Author #253 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Finishing off the evening first with the Headliner, Dario “El graucho”. We really didn’t know what he was going to do as he was labeled as a one of a kind act. We were pleasantly surprised he was quite skilled and fun. Dinner was hard. I was still feeling lunch. Menu I only had one escargot order. I was that full 😝 The duck terrine is back to where it was. The last time i had it, i don’t know what happened to it. It was totally different and not very good. Its back! Mojo pork chop. this was decent this time. It can be overcooked sometimes. Bananas Foster. Same thing. It varies in quality. This time it was good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted October 3, 2022 Author #255 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) This must be shared! No Raisins in the yogurt parfait!!! I hate raisins, but they previously pre-added the raisins in the granola. In case you haven’t guessed, I hate raisins.

Rare Rogueperson Posted October 3, 2022 Author #260 Share Posted October 3, 2022 We are just wandering around and we found the Eastern Cemetery. It was established in 1668. The jaw dropping coincidence is that we *may* have found my wife’s great great great great great great grandfather’s grave. the number of greats is significant. But there maybe no way to actually confirm this at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted October 3, 2022 Author #261 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Portland is cool. In many ways it reminds me of a combination of Baltimore and Georgetown in DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted October 3, 2022 Author #262 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Lunch, if you can call it that, was had at Duckfat. To be honest, I wasn’t hungry really. We met up with a friend i had not seen in 28 years. He gave is a mini-tour and we had lunch. Menu All we had was the poutine with duck comfit. We also has regular fries with the flight of sauces. Both were amazing. I also got a milkshake. Not just any milkshake. Seasalt duckfat caramel milkshake. The caramel is made with actual duckfat! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted October 4, 2022 Author #268 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Tonight’s menu in the MDR This is the Salmon and shrimp fritters. Don’t recommend. Shrimp and Lobster bisque. Do recommend. Chicken Marsala is delicious. I got two desserts. The apple crumble was decent. Could have been a little sweeter. and the Eton Mess. I’m not sure what its supposed to be. It was mostly whipped cream with some fruit flavoring. I called it a glorified puppucino. If you don’t know what that it, its basically the dog treat they give dogs at Starbucks which is just whipped cream in a cup. My dog LOVES it. Also tonight, they did the parade in the MDR. Last leg’s parade was better for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted October 4, 2022 Author #269 Share Posted October 4, 2022 After dinner we wandered around. We caught the Abba name that tune. I know nothing about Abba so everything was Dancing Queen to me. Wife liked it. We saw this on the planner. Thought it was a James Brown tribute. Nope, the musician was named James Brown. Not sure if i am relieved or disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted October 4, 2022 Author #270 Share Posted October 4, 2022 We lose an hour tonight and tomorrow’s a port day. *grumble*. I’ve never had to adjust back and forth 3 times already with 4th time in a couple days. Anyways. Here is tomorrow’s cruise compass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted October 4, 2022 #271 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I totally agree! Multiple time changes are not pleasant. Since everyone uses their phones to tell time, it seems to be the new normal on cruises. Great review so far! Very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
