We are go with the flow, relaxed people on vacation. All it did for us was raise our eyebrows and give us some good laughs. And tell us that the terrible reviews on TripAdvisor are probably all true. It was room 369. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned Tiki Dave’s preferred way of holding and strumming today. And of pressing the frets. I grew up playing a small 4 stringed instrument called a Tamburica Bisernica or prim as we called them for short, so I was holding it and trying to play it just like that. Tiki Dave said that they had 90 loaner ukes on board, not counting, of course, those who brought their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective enough movement to feel it and have fun but not so much they’ve closed the outdoor decks (although the pools have been closed). We did see the 14 aft pool without a net last night but the others have all been covered. Crew says it’s rough but not as much as the last cruise. Other passengers say things like they thought they were going to fall out of bed. One woman fell during Zumba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in the MDR. It was a lamb shank. Before I cruised on Princess the first time I learned a trick on here to ask for “steamed vegetables” with my dinner and they bring a bowl of veggies. In this case, to make space on the table I scooted them onto the plate with the lamb (which came with 2 Brussels sprouts and 2 pieces of potato—excellent morsels but not enough veg for me). The texture of the steamed veggies they bring always wows me- soft yet firm at the same time and full of flavor. I don’t know how they do it. The purple and yellow cauliflower varieties here were especially surprising to me—I haven’t been served varietals before! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it’s available 11-11 (the in person Slice is open 11-9) and is $3 for cheese or pepperoni. At the in person slice they’ve also been having a daily special. We haven’t tried it yet but yesterday I said I hadn’t even seen Slice so we went and looked for it.

Rare arctickitty Posted February 18, 2023 Author #147 Share Posted February 18, 2023 During dinner last night, this photo popped up from my cat sitter and warmed my heart that we were all eating at the same time. Special Someone said, “She must be doing it right because they’re all in the right spots.” (I feed them in the same order every time but the first time Special Someone fed them when I wasn’t home, he’d just gotten home from being away for a long time and didn’t remember the order and described dinner as “chaotic.”) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
