Pirate's LIVE Celebration Review...February 26-March 5, 2023

[TOMMYCRUISER]

At the bottom of mountain top going back to havensight is the best pizza 🙂

My ride back is arriving. 2 bushwhackers and the raspberry drink in, can I handle the ride back down? 

[pirate4me2]

*Gulp* Here I go! 

[pirate4me2]

Brought some expresso to Alchemy to see what they could whip up. Jason made me this, it is SO GOOD.

I am sorry, but this presentation disappoints me. Looks like something from Chili's or Carrabbas.

This could have easily been dressed up a little better. Maybe a larger tomato sauce bed, couple sliced cherry tomatoes, a single large basil leaf, a few balsamic drops?

 

Looks lazy

 

Took a piece of fried patty chicken, tossed a slice of cheese, under the broiler/salamander and that's it

It may not be pretty, but it was delicious!

Trying Cucina again tonight. Not a fan of the MDR menu at all, our entire group of 7 agreed.

I'm sure it was. But for what's their specialty restaurant, they can upscale it a little.

Well, it’s not really specialty on here…extended part of the MDR, like Chibang

Waiting for Chris’s one-man show! 

Chris does a fantastic show. Hard to believe a solo performer could pivot from singing an aria to singing Whitesnake.🙂

I know!!! I got a video of the Whitesnake for my dad, he’s a biiiiig fan!

Cucina let me down tonight. 2 hours for dinner, and a table mate literally fell asleep during dinner. 😳 Food (aranici, caprese, chicken parm) was delicious, but service…not so much. Chris got up to get us more water. 😂

On January 1, we actually walked out of Cucina on MG because they let us sit there for 20 minutes with no water, bread or even a greeting.  The manager called us the next morning and made it right.  But not how you want to start a New Year.

Hey Pirate! Glad to see you back onboard, hope you are enjoying the Celebration. Your suite and the Loft 19 looks awesome! I will be back on the Mardi Gras this weekend, I can't wait for another coconut creamy martini from Zoltan. Thanks again for putting me on to that drink 😃

That’s a terrible start to the New Year!! 😳 Hope the rest of that cruise was better.

I am SO jealous! None of the alchemists on here have made me one that is even remotely as good as Zoltan’s. Have a great cruise!

Just took my $25 Funplay and gambled for the first time ever. Used a penny slot machine…and walked out with $103. I feel lucky!!

Aloha. Enjoying your reviews. We enjoy a leisurely dining experience as long as we are acknowledged with water, bread, a drink order etc. When they cannot get that first part of the dining process then I believe it is ok to be disappointed especially if you have a show or want to do something else. Thank you for the food pictures!

I don’t mind it if they acknowledge me, but last night we all were convinced we were forgotten!

Heading to Sea Day brunch, yum!!

[pirate4me2]

[pirate4me2]

No brunch pics, I failed miserably at that…sorry y’all. It was delicious tho! I had the voyager burger (the one with the egg) and it was messy, delicious, and everything it should be. Very filling tho. I broke the runny egg yolk, then took the rest of the egg off, and discarded the hash brown potatoes. It’s a big burger. 

[pirate4me2]

My balcony is usable today! Maybe we are sailing slower, or something, but it’s just a nice, easy breeze out here. Yay! I can lounge out here listening to the waves. 🙂

We were also there on the NYE cruise.  Although the food was good, the service was awful and a loooong wait to get a table.
