I can definitely appreciate nature's beauty... I live in Alberta, about 4 hours from Jasper and Banff. If I want ice and glaciers, I can take a day trip. Maybe that's why Alaska isn't on my bucket list. 

I like just outside Calgary and I’ve done 2 Alaskan cruises… I can see

glacial lakes at home but we’ve really enjoyed our Alaskan cruises

I don’t see filet mignon on the menu so if it’s there, it’s called something else. I’m not going there to eat anything tartare.

 

 

Wait does the Filet not show on the Bistro menu anymore? It truly is the best!

If Filet de boeuf Rossini is filet mignon it is. Also a $10 upcharge so I’d say you need to know it’s better than the one in the steakhouse with no upcharge before ordering.

That's good to know... we're just outside Edmonton. I just hate the cold, especially humid cold. Might have to consider it.

IMO it was well worth it on the Prima and Breakaway. I have not sailed on the Jewel though.

This time these guys were the ones in the back talking during the CD presentation

They have sauce options in the steakhouse. I choose not to have sauce poured on my steak.

They lose me a Foie Gras.

I was concerned this morning because I had a few coughs in the room but it seems to have been nothing because I’ve been fine since then. I say that as I listen to the symphony of coughs in here.

I missed MDR Lunch but I haven’t been hungry. This is where I will miss the venues like the cantina, bbq, guys burgers, deli and pizza which would all still be open on carnival. Buffet is open 45 more mins then they have a snack buffet outside. May be a time to try osheehans.

Me too.plus there is now a 10.00 upcharge. There is too many other things available to eat for cheap me to pay for it.

Capt and CD go on vacation in two weeks.

I don’t think they do the fish thing on this ship.

 

 

The wave points to the back of the ship. That's what we learned on The Pearl at least. The fish were so much better!

[Saint Greg]

Bikinis are coming out. I thought about it but don’t want to dirty it on the last day.

Do they have water slides on this ship? Can’t recall seeing any

You are on the wrong ship for those!

[Saint Greg]

I guess it’s like a sun deck up here.

Hey look at that.
