Do lobster night in the MDR with the Chops steak upgrade. Oh so tasty. Best meal I had all week.

I’m a big fan of that Chops steak upgrade!

Compared to the price  of what Chops cost now, just what does the Chops Steak upgrade cost and just what kind of steak is available for the upgrade? Bone in Rib Eye or just the Fillet or something else?

It’s $16.95 for Chops filet mignon upgrade. I recall it being a very generous size.

Surprising that is the same price as I remember it many, many years ago. Seems like a much better value then the charge per person to actually go to Chops now.

 

On our next cruise Chops is $45 per person.

 

Can almost get 2  Bone In Rib Eyes at Texas Roadhouse for that price, and the you know at Texas Roadhouse the steak will be great !

Had bookmarked this a few days ago but hadn't had time to read, all caught up for the start of the cruise.  Safe travels, enjoy every minute!!

Yes, they have had same price for a long time in MDR.   I'm not sure but think it is an 8 oz filet and I usually ask for baked potato with it.  

I like Greg's @Sea Dogidea of getting the filet in MDR on lobster night.  Tough choice filet with lobster tail or 3 or 4 lobster tails😃

Deb, I follow one of the pro figure skaters, Jordan Bauth, on you tube. She's on Voyager now, very talented.  I hope you get to see the ice show.  It always amazes us how they skate on a moving ship.

Continued wishes for you to have smooth sails and happy memories.

They had a very good ice skating team.  The 'extra' C&A activity for us was to come to the theater and meet some of the entertainment team.  We had the stage manager from the production show, the dance captain, and the ice team captain.  It was quite informative.

Deb and Andy,

Lisa,

Everyone aboard, , bon voyage! Have a wonderful cruise! I will follow along.

I am going to do this every time in the MDR on Lobster night.

Bags are packed other than the last minute things we need in the a.m.  I pretty much stuck to what I planned to pack but there were a few last minute “I might need this” additions.  Someone posted a picture on another board of Apple Air Tags which reminded me I meant to order some.  So a last minute trip to Best Buy was needed.  
We completed our health questionnaires this morning and we’re ready to go!  Hope everyone has a safe trip to the port tomorrow.  Photo from our Anthem cruise in April. If you see us, say “hi”!

Beautiful picture!!!!!!!

 

BON VOYAGE, DEB AND ANDY!!!!!

Have the best time!!!!

We are onboard!  We boarded right at one PM, check in was very quick and easy.  Rooms were ready so we dropped off our carry ons and headed to the Windjammer.  I tell ya’ folks, if you want to avoid WJ crowds, board a little later.  
First impression, the ship looks fantastic.  It does of course feel smaller in comparison to our last cruise on Anthem, but we both commented on how much more character this ship has.  Here are a few pictures to start off; more to come.

Windjammer at 1:30 PM

 

 

As promised @Ocean Boy , from the R bar.

 

My first Dark n Stormy.  Wasn’t sure at first, but it’s growing on me. 
 

@Sea Dog doesn’t look like a great selection to me at the R bar, but I do see Kracken.  

 

[Luckynana]

What time is Sail Away, Deb?

 

Have a great cruise!!!  Bon Voyage!🛳️

 

 

We were at the Boston Pier 4 weeks ago today on our Adventure of the Seas cruise😉

[Ozark_Kid]

Hey Deb, how is your toe doing?  Are you getting around OK?  Ship us lookin good.

Wow I think going to WJ after 1pm is the key.

 

Yes that looks pretty weak at the R-Bar. At least they had Makers. Liberty had no Makers at all. I wonder if the Schooner Bar will be better?

 

Have a great cruise. I'll be following along.

Love the pictures. Did that Cosmo taste good?😊

 

I really like V class ships. The bigger ships certainly have their place and I enjoy them a lot. However, I have no problem going back to the V/F class. I find them much more relaxing.

A few sail away photos. Internet speed is EXTREMELY slow. I can not even get speed test to connect. This post with photos took 28 minutes to upload w/ surf and stream.

[Td6462]

sorry can't get anything over 10 MB to upload this evening. 

[Td6462]

This is the only test I can get to complete at the moment.

The Boston Port looks like the old San Francisco cruise port, before they built the new one. ☺️

Shows as £90 in planner for Symphony next spring in the Med. And that was on 'sale' 

 

[flamingos]

I found a new drink in the Schooner Bar and R Bar, a 'nuts and berries'.  One shot each Bailey's (cocoa nut), Frangelico (hazelnut) and Chambord (raspberry).

 

If you run across Lina in the Schooner Bar, tell her the flamingo lady remembers her.  ❤️

[SG65CB]

Seems like "Stream" is not being delivered as promised.

 

I'd hate to see what "Surf" speed looks like vs. "Surf and Stream".
