There was Funfetti Cake, but oddly pint sized. They claimed it was the same, which it clearly wasn't. But taste was good. I think German Chocolate was available everyday.

 

 

What?! That’s not right at all. Like when the cafeteria lady makes the cake.

especially when they had the real cakes (unless wax) on display. I kept telling them I wanted an adult slice but they weren't having it.

Later in the cruise I missed the opportunity to ask them what the heck?

There were a few defects in my cabin. It didn't bother me enough to report or I'm sure they would have been fixed. If you see something, say something, or don't whine about it later.

Today was one of the two Diamond luncheons (so many Diamonds they had to split into two). Just in case the ship ran out of food, some Diamonds began lining up at least 30 minutes before the start time. Too funny.

 

 

[BlerkOne]

and if one line is good, two must be better, right? A second line was formed.

 

[BlerkOne]

I waited for sanity to return, walked right in, and ended up with a great seat. It was the standard menu with the hit or miss strip steak.

as I understand it, the Diamond luncheon menu is changing

I played it safe and went with the fish which has always been good. Drink service was slow to start, but after a while I was grabbing a drink of any variety from any tray that went by. I was lucky to find my way back to the cabin.

Last time I was able to spot a couple of manatees, buy not so lucky this cruise. We did block the view from the same condos, so that was something.

First port and already a couple of ambulances
