Pre dinner cocktail at the Tommy Bahama Bar next to the store.

 

 

 

 

 

Classic Mai Tai. Good but not as good as mine.

I believe it might be a letter in the cabin,not an email to you.

I do know this is a full sailing so I wouldn’t be surprised if I get one. I just hope not. Bottom line if I go at 4:30pm will they kick me out at 5pm?  I doubt it.

[Sea Dog]

Pineapple Paradise Martini. Now this is really good.

You  might be surprised, tried that on Jewel. They set up the Safari Lounge for Pinnacle Happy Hour since there was so many Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Crown and Anchor Members.

They chased us out of there after looking at our Sea Pass Cards.

 

They checked every Sea Pass card of everyone going in there EVERY NIGHT, all 14 nights. Had the room chained off, you couldn't even walk through where the Pool Tables were.

 

They chased people out of the lounge EVERY night.

26th Anniversary Dinner (a little late since it was the 18th) at the Boathouse at Riverside Hotel.

 

 

 

Starters Chocolate Martini for Linda. She says best ever.

 

 

Tiki Rum Runner for me. Very good. Always a plus served in a tiki mug.

 

 

Requested dockside table.

 

 

Our view.

 

 

Seared Ahi Tuna with hot pita bread. This was amazing.

 

 

Fun watching the boats go by. Nothing like tiki party boat. Went to the website. Not cheap.

 

 

Hawaiian Rib Eye for Linda. No real Hawaiian flavor but tasty.

 

 

Shrimp Lemon Linguine. Very good. I enjoyed this dish a lot.

Nice crescent moon under the umbrella at the Boathouse restaurant at the Riverside Hotel. Beautiful night with great service and good food.

Will do Bonnie - probably won’t be able to post a picture as wifi on Lady G is like the dialup we used to have 20 years ago 

Cheers 🥂 

No need to post a picture.  I trust you to carry out your assignment to the letter!

[BonTexasNY]

Greg, I think your cruise should be named Bella 1.5

 

I know all of you will have the best time and make wonderful memories.

Wonderful after dinner hooking up with our new cruising friends Larry @Husky1987 and his wonderful wife Andi. Larry and I have common bond as bourbon and whiskey aficionados. So it woul be appropriate that we meet at a whiskey bar just down the street from the Riverside where we are both staying.

 

 

Incredible  bourbon and whiskey list. Some very expensive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some great bourbons. I had the EH Taylor Small batch (not pictured) and a Angels Envy Rum cask finish. Yummmm!

 

 

 

 

Great time talking with Larry who went to law school with my wife. Talk about a small world. Now we get a good night’s sleep and board Adventure of the Seas for a full week of good times.

 

Cheers everyone and good night!

Try to get some sleep. I don't get much the night before a cruise begins.

Easier said than done. Sitting out on the balcony drinking a Diet Coke before bedtime at 11pm. I know I will sleep about 4-5 hours and be ready to go. I’m ready to cruise. Let’s do this!

 Greg, thank you for the Mai Kai memories. I had really hoped that they would be open in time for us, but that was not meant to be. I’m glad to see that they’re finally making progress on their rebuilding. Maybe on our next trip. 

[perfect match]

Our Water Taxi day was October 3, so just under three weeks earlier than you. All those docks moored together near the Bahia Mar in my pictures sure look a lot different now in your pictures! 😂

Yes it’s amazing how they put it all together. They told us that they bring in portable docks and the boats are brought in and organized together like a jig saw.

Cheers.

 

Enjoy the cruise.. Will be reading along

It’s 4am. I’m wide awake. Just like a kid on Christmas Eve the anticipation of morning and all it’s glory has arrived. No I’m not wishing for a official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time,

 

I’m wishing for a big hunk of steel called Adventure of the Seas. My mind is racing with all the things I want to do on board. I ask myself all the worthy questions , What drink will I order first? How quickly can do that darn muster drill? Do I really have to listen that horn again? Will I get all my dining package reservations made? These are the questions inquiring minds want to know. I guess all in due time. Today is going to be a great day.

We are in the port,  getting ready to dock.  All is well.

 B2B meet at 845 in the Imperial lounge, kind of early and I guess not a lot of B2B,ers since we have mostly met in the theater recently.

 Hoping for  fast turn around and get you guys onboard quickly.

Great looking forward to meeting you. I will have on my teal Sea Dog tee shirt. Doing the sail away with the other CC friends at the Sky Bar on deck 12. See you soon!
