I've got some old pics that I could add. 2 hours ago, Ozark_Kid said: It would be cool to show the ship name and year taken. If I start the thread it will be a week or two after this. I can't keep up with this thread. Maybe we will talk later about it on Dani's thread. We will need to team up with others. I think I may have a photo of me from 2006, pulling a heaving line that was attached to the mooring line of the Serenade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 19, 2022 Author #279 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @Luckynana We spent some time tonight in the balcony, upper level, of the Amber Theater and it was not freezing. It's comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see this anytime soon we are laying out at the bottom of the suite deck steps on the portside. I'll be on the lookout.

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 19, 2022 Author #281 Share Posted October 19, 2022 We got off the boat at least an hour after the port was open and there were plenty of chairs available when we got there. Out from us was the floating bar. We got a drink they called a Labaduicy. They said it is made from the various island fruits. It was good. We got our Doodles ready. These are blowup noodles. They are great traveling noodles. Very light and takes up very little space. I am not sure if you are restricted in what you can smoke but there is a smoking area down from where we were. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 19, 2022 Author #283 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hard to believe but there was a mustard station. And a variety of food. Corn 🌽 on the cob is usually a favorite but not today. My favorite was the banana rum cake. It was perfect. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, Thanks for the shout out. Glad to see more people are starting to like the Mooring line pictures. I'm not sure who was the OG, but I started posting my Mooring Lines back with my 2014 trip report. I was so clueless back then that I didn't even they were called Mooring line. Someone from the trip report had to clue me in on the right name... Looking back at the old picture archives from 2014 Here's one from 2016 Freedom trip report I'm over at the Princess boards now spreading the gospel on Mooring lines with my latest cruise report on Alaska. They have totally different setup compared to the Caribbean ports. Somewhere down the line (pun intended), we should create a database listing the ports & which pier these pictures are taken from and make notes on how accessible they are. We can even get into specifics where these are Bow or Aft lines...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 19, 2022 Author #296 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Giovanni’s While looking at appetizers I saw Mozzarella Di Bufala. Heirloom tomatoes. I thought really, I grow heirlooms. I thought they were trying to make a regular tomato sound good. I was so surprised. Get this, it's good. The pesto like basil around it was good too. The filet has been the Best steak on the ship so far. Linguine alle Vongolle for my pasta. I wanted some clams. You can get 1/2 or full servings of pasta. I got half but wished I would of asked for full clams. When looking at the description of the deserts none looked appealing. The waiter picked 2 he wanted me to try. Both were real good. The second was my favorite! Tiramisù Classico Totally di Cioccolato e Nocciola 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
