I am only wanting the Stingray City stop - and no snorkel stop.  Where did you book your excursion through?

 

This is the one we booked through Royal. It had a stop at Camana Bay which is a shopping and restaurant mall area. Looking back I could have passed on that. We were hungry and ate at a nice restaurant. Two burgers fries and two cokes $87. Won't do that again.

I knew when we walked in it was a fancy place. We should have looked at the menu first and then went someplace different. But we were hungry and only had about a hour before the busses would pick us up. It was a really good burger but not at that price.

I'm a fan of Kraken and Dr. Pepper or A & W.

Kracken works well with Diet Mtn. Dew, as well as Diet Dr. Pepper.

Wow that's a bit pricey.

Greg, how's your shoulder doing?  Did your knee cause you any problems?

Shoulder is slowly getting better. Sometimes I forget about it and move my arm a weird direction and get a sharp pain. I'm not wearing the sling anymore. Just need to be carful. My knee is just ok. I was disappointed on how it did on the cruise. I've been taking it fairly easy since we got home and trying to rest it some. Thank you for asking.

I just saw a story on the news, that a restaurant had to raise the price of their hamburger from $36 to $50. 
 

I have never met a hamburger that is worth $50.

I'm not sure what happened but my reply disappeared.  Anyway, it sounds like your shoulder is healing pretty well. A little bit of time will take care of it.  I understand the disappointment with the knee.  That was serious surgery and I guess that it will take a bit more time.  Hopefully, it will be near 100 percent by the March cruise.  Hang in there, Greg it will get better.

 

By the way, you can add me to the Kraken club.  I picked up a bottle of Kraken at the ABC store and tried your colada recipe. Definitely a keeper.

McDonalds as bad as their burgers are are looking pretty good to me.

I'm a little late to the party, but ..... just how tall is your toilet??? 😲🤔

did not fall off, I fell on the toilet.

@Sea DogGlad your shoulder is coming along, Greg.  Your knee just takes a little longer.  That day is coming!!!

I sure do love the escargot!  I always get it every night on cruises, and yet I never thought to dip my bread into it.

I'll have to try the eggs bhurgi also.  Your pictures are making me hungry!

That is the only time I eat the bread.  Dip it in the escargot.

 Hmm, I wonder how you would calculate the cost of a burger you ate at Jamie's?

If I order a Kraken Lava flow with a Kraken floater, would I be using 2 vouchers on a diamond perk?

The anticipation is building.

I've never had a 'burger or even had anything to eat in Jamie's.

I would hope not. It should only count as one drink.

Greg, the food pictures you posted all look beautifully displayed and delicious, especially the lamb shank.  . Nice size lobster tails.

Looks good, but not worth my $26.00 X's two.

The 4 Lobster tails I got were good size. Each tail was about 4-5 bites.

Thanks. I was hoping it wouldn't count as a double shot.
