You either want to do this voyage or you don't. The excuses are funny I wish they would offer those fun cooking classes again. And not just the tired old Sushi making class...though we are going (again) tomorrow. There was a pasta making class once, I think it was on Monarch...that was so much fun. Something different to keep things fresh on sea days! Edited January 2 by island lady 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a scavenger hunt. Same with salad bar, pasta bar, etc.. Plenty of opportunities to put my own spin on the dishes I eat. Today John had them add the fried onion rings from my wedge salad as a garnish to his steak frites Indeed that is my "go to" lunch in the WJ...then we grab a beer/wine and enjoy sitting out back in the fresh air. I get very creative with my salads...popping around at the different stations to add new things. Love the Quinoa and the barley too. 🙂 For awhile they had roasted cashews and hazelnuts...but haven't seen them since. 😞 Found I could take the coleslaw they have and add extra vinegar from the salad bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 2 Author #1408 Share Posted January 2 Eh...I am not an artist, craftsperson, or engineer. My creation for the egg drop did not turn out very well, but going to go with it anyway. 😬 Changed the name to :Eggstra fast omelet. 😄 Contest is at 1 pm (11 am EST) will report on how far out the egg splat went out on deck four later. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipgeeks Posted January 2 #1416 Share Posted January 2 Inquiring minds want to know: Is RC using the term Formal for certain nights, or Dress Your Best, or....? It looked like quite a few men were in tuxedos, and women in gowns, as well as all the white outfits, on NY Eve. Any other special themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do the WC, but I don’t know what I would do to not go crazy when not in port????? JC I sure hope I do not miss the Flowrider too much on the 15-day Serenade cruise next summer. We only have 2 sea days, so I am doing this cruise for the ports more than the flow. We are taking a 7-day cruise on the Regal Princess in March, so this will be a test to see how I am without a flowrider on the ship. My rotator cuff still has a tear in it from my flowriding last March, so maybe by the time I do my next flow cruise (December), it will have healed fully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2014 or so Shame they haven't tried to do more interesting things on this cruise. We have had plenty of sea days...lots of opportunities to get creative...but seem to be sticking to the same old...same old they do on any other shorter cruise. Oh well...have some good books to enjoy. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like quite a few men were in tuxedos, and women in gowns, as well as all the white outfits, on NY Eve. Any other special themes? Yes, they are using the term "formal". Though I don't think a lot of pax took the extra space in their already too packed luggage to take much of it. Not to mention closet space limited. Though indeed have seen some "dressed to the nines"....but for us....dressy casual is about the best we will do. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
