Do you know if one of the dining rooms has a pasta station for lunch on sea days? I’ve seen a couple of mentions of that but not enough to know if it’s always there.

We didn't see one yesterday, but didn't really get far in the Lido.

Today we had Terrazzo brunch in the Steakhouse, so didn't see today, either. I'll follow-up 😊

Thank you!

I know I owe y'all all a lot of info, details and pictures and I WILL get caught up. Things just keep popping up and distracting me 🫣 

Tomorrow is St John, New Brunswick. Neam, the girl in Cherries on Top, said she's really looking forward to it because it's gotten canceled the last 3 times it's been on the itinerary. 🤞 we make it. Port time is 7:30am, Back on Board is 2:30pm.

We're looking at rain 🌧️, 63° & 72% humidity.

Forgive my nosiness, please.  You’ve referred to “DS” a few times.  I took that to mean “dear son”.  However, you then referred to “DS” as “she”.  Would you mind explaining?

Hey, I probably should have used Sis. On this trip, DS refers to dear sister. Thanks for asking - it was likely confusing - reading my mind can be that way, lol.🫣

Good morning St John!

Nobody in the Terrazzo port hot tub, hm maybe 5:45am is too early.

Currently 52° headed to 63° w/fog and chance of rain.

[Haljo1935]

Probably a nice view once they turn on the wipers.

Oops - forgot to snap before Sis took her half. VERY flaky, strong cinnamon flavor. The other is 🍎

Waaaaay too much food. This was the Broken Egg Sandwich, extra crisp bacon. Was supposed to have ham, but it had bacon, so it ended being Double Bacon Monday. 🥓 🥓 

Sis got the oatmeal, said it was yummy. And I see I forgot to upload the pastries earlier, so here ya go.

Off topic - does anyone know what this lock is for? Or is it missing the front plate where you tap your key?

3 cabins near-ish mine have these. One of the cabins has a decorated door, so it looks like someone is in it.

When I was on the Venezia 5-6 weeks ago, a group of teenagers were going floor to floor to see which "team" could rip off the most covers. Many of us reported them and security finally caught them in the act. Not sure the outcome but it was ridiculous! Walk every floor and you will see many missing!

Yes, in the Marco Polo Restaurant. I think it was 12-2:30 on sea days.

Thanks for posting the Fun Times! I was explaining some things to my folks onboard that they definitely would have overlooked on the app!

We have been getting them everyday, but very random times, latest was after 3pm. Today Stewart promised he will bring earlier, so 🤞

We are doing dinner in Marco Polo; haven't been there for lunch. Will check if we do.

Well I messed that up - posted the pix w/o responded and wasn't able to edit. Pax staying in Terrazzo cabins get invited to a sea day brunch. Nice menu, included mimosas at no charge.

We had calzone, pork schnitzel, steak & poached eggs, beignets, angel food cake trifle. All of it was really good.

Ok so going to be waaaay out of order, but I gotta get something posted here - y'all been hanging like Sunday laundry.

Work has been crazy busy ( did I say I'm working while I'm on here?) So it really does cut into my posting time.🫣 The good news is the internet seems to be working pretty well. Took a bit to for my VPN to get happy, but then all good. Well, until tonight when my computer flashed a notification that the time on my computer had been updated which resulted in it being 6 hours ahead...

Not real lag time loading pics.

Ok, so to finish Day 1 - muster was in Marco Polo dining room on 3. Here's the full muster location list for those getting on later. Safety First!! New fangled life jackets with pillows to keep you from drowning cuz your neck got tired.

Peeked at the gondola while we were there.

Then on to lunch in the Lidofolliwed by a stroll by the Terrazzo cabins. Hammocks look comfy.

Good 🌧 morning, Halifax!

[Haljo1935]

Table is ready. Saw Stewart as we were heading out; he says, "not today." 

[Haljo1935]

Getting foggier and a little bumper.

Hub says currently 64° headed to 69° w/a wet, breezy morning. 

French toast ordered 6 min ago - 😋 yummy!

[Haljo1935]

Cinnamon Danish for me, pineapple Danish for Sis. Yummu goodness begins...

Now if only I could get hot ☕ ☕ they've offered refills to every table around me. I think he read my mind or maybe my post, cuz look at the coffee condition now. 🤭

Extra crispy 🥓 🥓,  oatmeal & banana for Sis. I think the bacon ration is over.

Oh wow, that was quick - vanilla French toast, caramelized banana and more bacon has arrived. Should be Texas fried toast cuz, well I'm from there, but mostly because that's the type of bread that was used. 🤭Pardon me, I'll be busy for a bit. Y'all enjoy!!
