Few pics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Found the only bar (bottom bar in the Centrum deck 4)onboard that actually has mint leaves to make a Frozen Mohito the correct way,all the other bars say they don't have the leaves.

I finally got my escargot.  

 

 

Calamari

 

 

Chicken Pathia.  This is something new.  It was very good.  Indian food on the ship is usually delicious.

Really? Every bar had mint leaves on the TA last week. Maybe I had them all!

 To those  who we were supposed to meet "on a Halifax pier" see you either on the 30th or maybe next year on the Explorer going to Barcelona in April. Have a great trip to Greenland and  safe travels.

We have just learned they picked up some mint in Manhattan,but was just handed out this morning to the bars 🙂

 

We did just learn they are out of limes,so everything that should a lime in it now comes with a lemon in it.

Funny thing.  Before i saw this.  I was walking past the Schooner and ran into our tablemates from dinner.  One of them had a frozen Mohito and I was like, huuh, sounds interesting, I'll try it.

[Rogueperson]

Another day at sea.  Didn’t really do much.

 

Lunch Menu.

 

 

Grilled corn cakes

 

 

Caprese

 

 

Royal Burger.  Our table mates

ordered it medium rare.  I told the waiter if they can do that, then get that for me.  If not, get me the Lasagna.

 

 

Guess what?  They said they can only cook it on way.

 

 

aahh well…

 

Floating Island

 

 

[Rogueperson]

I did end up going to the Headliner Show.

 

 

 

It was nothing really special.

And that means no caipirinhas.  😞

Dinner.

 

Menu

 

 

Hey, the same corn cakes from lunch.

 

 

Shrimp Cocktail.

 

 

Butter Chicken.  I think this is the first tome I’ve seen it on the MDR menu.  I’ve seen it in the Windjammer.

 

 

Tres Leches

 

This was not bad, but it wasn’t really Tres Leches.

Cannot believe the weather today! 
 

Have done nothing apart from C&A event, Pinnacle lunch which was a bit of a disappointment with my request for a well done fillet.., it was so rare it could have walked out of the dining room! 
But a good table and company and chat made up for it! 

 

 

We went to Mexican night in the WJ.

 

We have still not made it to any show! 9pm is too early for them to start for us… we prefer 10pm starts as that fits in better with our dining times. 

 

Another time change tonight - one hour forward.

There are 7pm showtimes for those with late seating dining.  We went to two shows at 7.

So it was escargot and not scallops as per chef’s recommendation? Or did you get a special request? I have missed not having scallops on recent sailings. I hope they are back.

7pm is when we are having our pre dinner g&ts.  
And I don’t like going to shows before dinner - doesn’t seem the right way round!

Yep...they find ways to 'recycle' food from previous meals. How are the (dinner) portion sizes?

Same.

They’re small, but pretty much the same as before.  You can order and theoretically eat multiple entries.

 

I personally get 1 entree as I prefer multiple appetizers to the entrees.

[Jimbo]

Just came from Izumi for lunch. Could not enter from outside deck because of wind and wet decks entered through crew hallways.

Food was good,but it was rocking and rolling up there on the aft of deck 12.

Another great frozen Mohito from the Lobby Bar

 

 

[Rogueperson]

Good afternoon from here.  This is Day 5.

 

 

 

Its a bit rough today.  I had to take this picture off the aft from the Windjammer as deck 12 is closed.  Not as nice a day as yesterday and the temperature is down to mid 50s already.

 

Due to yet another lost hour.  I did not get up until noon ship time.  Went to lunch.

 

 

Chilled Strawberry soup.  Its like a strawberry milkshake.

 

 

Caprese Salad.  This one looks better than yesterday and had avocados.  

 

 

Scallops ceviche

 

 

Did they ever have a lobster roll for lunch before?

 

 

I actually preferred the creamy shrimp croissant.  The chips were wonderful.

 

 

 

And for dessert.  Lemon tart.  Its like a lemon meringue pie but it was good.
