Off to the sauna. It's small but works nicely and has a great view of the outside.

It’s too bad you are missing out on your chance of a big one. Even our Canadian news is talking about it. 1.3 B or something like that. 

$1.7, but it was won yesterday by someone in California.

Thanks for following along 😀 

 

😆 I rarely take photographs but I did take one in front of the tower. Did not get the holding it up shot though.

Here you go.  Its the missus from our Princess med cruise last fall.

 

And I laughed at "I rarely take photographs . . , "  🙂

Did you happen to notice what the current extra on board spend/deposits are at the future cruise desk? On board next week so might be tempted!

Really enjoying your very detailed live report - had to start at the beginning to make sure I get the full experience! Good to hear you are enjoying the food in Britannia (hopefully service will improve for you) and the Golden Lion.  We generally never eat in Kings Court, unless for the speciality dining, preferring room service as an alternative if we miss lunch/breakfast due to ports of call/excursions. Hope the rest of your trip goes well and thanks for taking the time to post.

Tonight's dinner menu. Sorry for the poor lighting.

You have been reported to the mods for use of that four letter word 😉.

You'll be happy to hear she did a great job and it is still standing how she left it.

 

I don't take many pictures....of myself lol 😆. I prefer being on the other end of the lens.

Thanks for reading along and double thanks for starting at the beginning that's quite a long read at this point 😆. 

 

I'd like to try room service at some point the menu looks pretty good for a room service menu.

I will find out and let you know.

I've received a notification that due to inactivity my mobile bar license is about to be revoked. Guess I will put it to use tonight 😀

Make sure you have your little finger out when you take a drink so the Cunard people know that you are sophisticated! HAHAHAHA!!! 🤣

I'm pouring champagne out of an insulated water bottle, obviously I reek of sophistication without needing to point it out 😆. 

[jam19872016]

Thai fish cakes 757.

 

[jam19872016]

Very tasty and the sauce had a nice kick to it.

 

Our second appetizer had arrived at 804.

 

I also got the poached sea bass 

 

 

My mom got the baked beetroot. 

 

[jam19872016]

That needs to be an entrée please. Very wonderful combinationof flavors. I just need more. Yum yum yum 😋. 

 

For entrée I ordered the grilled sirloin steak 818.

 

 

My mom got the roast port loin.

 

[jam19872016]

The steak was very good. Part of it was unfortunately unedible, too tough to cut no matter how hard I sawed. The part I could eat was so flavorful and tender. Not sure what happened to the middle bit.

 

Dessert time.

 

I got lemon meringue pie and dark chocolate mousse 846.

So I mentioned I had a bottle of champagne in my fridge. 

 

Yesterday I went to grab a water out of the fridge and this had happened. 

 

 

I took it out to see if would keep getting refilled and so far it isn't. I have my two bottles and I can only bring two with me so even though I wasn't going to drink this cruise, it's a sign I need to. 

 

At the yacht club for all request.

 

Shivers 🎵
