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

[pirate4me2]

At Monty’s! Time for seafood and a drink. Here’s the menu. It looks like a neat little place, and our server is super nice. 

[pirate4me2]

Summer of 69 drink is delicious! 
conch fritters are very yummy. Menu says a spicy batter, but honestly they aren’t. The cocktail sauce they come with is tho. 

[EngIceDave]

Enjoy your cruise.

I'll keep the Buc-ee's open for you

[EngIceDave]

Can't believe Monty's inthe Grove is still there

 

and good conch fritters are awesome....with a nice mango sauce

[pirate4me2]

Holy moly this seafood roll is HUGE! I ended up scooping the good stuff out and leaving the bread. It was delicious. Fries are nice and crispy too. A+!!!

Ohhhh a mango sauce would be PERFECT!

Before I forget, here’s a pic of the hotel room. It’s a decent hotel, but not worth the price for sure. Our room does have a nice view, but the bed is like a rock. Location is great tho.

Hey steph I signed up if I can't be there I'll live it through you guys. Is your hotel near bayside?

[amberdc87]

Glad y'all made it's safely! That sucks about the wine. Nothing wise than finding a wine you love, only to never be able to get it again. 

 

Happy cruise day!!

So far, hitting hiccups with this dang hotel. More to come on that!

[pirate4me2]

So I’m REALLY not impressed with this hotel. They are very disorganized and we are getting conflicting information. Last night at check in we verified we had the park & cruise package, and they said they would validate our parking ticket when we returned AFTER the cruise. Nothing was mentioned about a receipt for the shuttle to the port. This morning at 7:30 we get a call saying we needed to come to the desk by 9:30 to get our shuttle receipt. What the heck? So we went to get it, and the lady goes, “you left your car with valet, right?” No, we verified last night that where we parked it was ok, and y’all said you would validate the ticket upon return from the cruise. Nope, no go, we gotta move it now…and there is no shuttle receipt. So what the heck was the phone call about???

[LUVMYGSDOG]

Oh no!  I despise disorganization!!  Hope you got it taken care of without too much more confusion.

Me too! This hotel is a mess. Wouldn’t recommend staying here. 
Another design flaw: 4 elevators servicing 21 guest floors. We literally waited 20 minutes to go down. I debated hiking it, but we were on floor 11 and Chris said no way with our luggage. 

[pirate4me2]

Get down to the pickup area, the front desk had told us to just ask for Carlos for our ride to the port. Nobody knows who Carlos is. I’m so glad a friend introduced us to Uber several years ago!

[LUVMYGSDOG]

They are really trying to start your cruise day off badly!!
 

All that and a hard mattress too!

 

You will be on the ship soon with a nice drink (or two or three…) and all will be better!

I just kept telling myself “it’s all good, you’re on vacation and will be on the ship soon!” 

[pirate4me2]

In the terminal, checked in, waiting to board! It’s all good from here!!

[TOMMYCRUISER]
