Rare crusin7 Posted November 17, 2023 Author #28 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hi Pingpong. We were only able to play after dinner last night. The place was crawling with people. I was a little bit lucky but must have felt badly so I gave back all my $$$ plus some more! Cathy did okay. The man next to me was very lucky. He earned a hand pay on the first few spins. So there is hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted November 19, 2023 Author #37 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The pool has been moderately busy. No chair hogs. The bar has been empty. Service at the pool grill has been the best I’ve seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted November 21, 2023 Author #40 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Yesterday there were 168 in transit guests. We chose the 0850 excursion Barcelona Neighborhoods. I would highly recommend this excursion. We were lucky that there were only 16 guests and 2 guides. So we split into two groups of eight. We had a scenic tour of Barcelona. Unfortunately there was a fire at a downtown factory Saturday. Smoke lingered in the air. We stopped at 2 local markets. We had cappuccino at the first stop. Beautiful Produce Lots of the world famous ham We walked around a quaint neighborhood and visited the local church. Then we all met for tapas. Russian salad…potato salad Papas Bravas We were back on the ship about 1345. A good day. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted November 21, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Cathy and I had planned to go to Sette Mari last night but it wasn’t to be. We had to change our room in Barcelona. We put our valuables in the new safe. When we tried to open it for our casino funds (thinking of you pingpong)we were met with failure. Half open half closed. Our butler called security and said they would be right there. Security didn’t show because they were waiting for the 7 passengers who were delayed. That was why we were late leaving the port. By time we got to Sette Mari a 1 hour wait. Compass Rose was also crowded. We both had the Black Mussels. No pictures too hungry. I had the Veal Piccata over Polenta Kahlua soufflé 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted November 21, 2023 Author #42 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Yayyy! I had the pleasure of meeting @pingpong1. I was skipping out of the Captain’s Welcome party in favor of the Casino. He was going to the party and will report back. Cathy and I got to Sette Mari before opening and joined the line. They were almost full by 6:45. Spaghetti Carbanara…Delicious! Lamb Chops…Best lamb on the ship! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted November 23, 2023 Author #46 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Yesterday the Italian Buffet on the pool deck was very good. I didn’t take pictures but most everything was delicious. Peppers and onions, grilled veggies, lasagna, meats, fish and very fresh pizzas. Yummy! We went to Pacific Rim again. We definitely made better dinner selections.

Rare crusin7 Posted November 24, 2023 Author #49 Share Posted November 24, 2023 As expected Compass Rose was slammed last night. We arrived at 6:15 and they were already half full. By 7:30 the staff were practically sprinting to complete orders. They appeared to have extra staff but struggled to catch up. One example is our desserts were served without silverware. We waited a few minutes before we could get someone’s attention. Turkey Pumpkin Pie Vanilla Ice Cream 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
