I thought the only cooking classes were on Excel class ships.  But I will ask.  

And that may be why someone in our group could not find the information! Ty

Who are the current Alchemists onboard, if you don’t mind my asking? We love Alchemy and are hoping to spend a good bit of time there!

And Zoltan

Alchemy is always an interesting place.  Lady sitting next to me at the bar was clearly working (had both laptop and iPad open, but also clearly was dressed for dinner.  In normal bar conversation mode I questioned her on doing work while vacationing and also in the evening (in a light landed way), she responded in same and aid, she was actually working, but traveling with others vacationing, which prompted a little more discussion.  She was in the end  seat and soon others approached and asked same.  Kind of became a joke, and soon whenever some stepped up and asked, we all (including her and bar staff) would break out and laugh.

 

Turns out she is a book editor and review submissions of books as part of the publication process.  The following discussion on what she does was very interesting.  During the course she had several drinks and I asked her if the review process (for the book/potential book) she was working on got better as more drinks arrived.  She said yes, I bought her a drink and told her to tell the author he/she owed me one.  Just another example of why we love cruising.

ZOLTAN!!!!! Is this the same Zoltan that was on Mardi Gras last November?! If so, I SOOOO hope he is there on my cruise, he made my Mardi Gras Alchemy experience the best. His creamy coconut martinis were AMAZING.

Great story!  My wife brings work home with her every night because if she does it at the office she can't drink wine!😜

Sounds like a solid plan to me.

To be honest, I cannot remember.  Not to tall, very outgoing and bald.  They are a talented mix.  How many guys could be named Zoltan.  Wasn’t that the name of the arcade fortune teller robot in Big???

I usually don't quote pictures, but that's my favorite view and place. So thank you. So excited.

 

And a book editor. That would be a fun person to hang out with for awhile.

A pic of a friends drink in Alchemy last night.  If he did this on purpose, I am REALLY impressed.
