Rare Cruise Raider Posted December 11, 2023 #129 Share Posted December 11, 2023 14 hours ago, Host CJSKIDS said: Okay, I really dislike fish though I like shellfish. Tried fish in so many countries as well as right off our boat. Just don't like it. But taht Dover Sole tonight at Catch by Rudy.... ate about 1/3 of my husbands. It was that incredible! I really love fish, my DH can take it or leave it. Even he loved the Catch, although he ordered the steak and lobster. Dover sole is one of my absolute favorites and it used to be on the Sabatini’s old menu but they’ve replaced it with a less desirable fish. Sadly, I now have no reason to make reservations there. The prep of their sole was just incredible when we last had it there. Not sure if you would be so inclined but if you get a chance to steal some sea bass off your hubby’s plate, it is also incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have to limit myself to two of those on each cruise .. otherwise, I’d be needing a new wardrobe. But wow, they really are so good! They had such awful wine choices on the Diamond when I was on there earlier this year. That’s when I discovered this baccarat. We were with a group of friends so ever since then, whenever we cruise together, we all have one as our embarkation drink to celebrate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love the small slices that curled up slightly. Now they are big “meatball” size slices. Still good but not the same. The horror! Yep, I usually love princess pizza, but it wasn't that good now that they have changed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a couple of us would be in your debt if you spot JP (aka Mickey Mouse guy) on your ship and ask him why oh why isn't PCL banning smoking in casinos when obvious majority of guests do not want the indoor smoking area. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you, or anyone OB, gets a chance, would you please ask JP why PCL is still a smoking casino??? Health conscious companies have no smoking casinos for guests and employees. Is it the money? Because, many of us avoid the casino because of the stench and our health. That is, if he didn’t leave already.

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted December 11, 2023 Author #137 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I haven't seen him since day one so I don't know if he got off and was only on for the day since he lives close to port. I'll try and find out. I sat next to a machine yesterday and had to get up because there was a full ashtray sitting there. I'm not seeing much smoking in the casino but I'm honestly not in there much. did go into Churchills and it is indeed an arcade. Whatever they did to it, you can no longer smell cigar smoke at all. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe cruise lines tried non smoking years ago and saw their casino traffic fall a great deal. $$$$ lost. They just need to do what the airlines did and stop all smoking. Airlines are packed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is a casino player, they have other options than cruising to gamble. Most people don't have the option to not fly somewhere. With that said, I'm not a smoker and would prefer smoke free too, but cruise lines know most gamblers smoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, only those who book way early, book Suites, or are Elite or Platinum would get a chance at a lounger. Pretty much the way it is now if you sub early arriver at terminal for early booker. Nothing is going to help those who do not have priority boarding on a Caribbean voyage. Edited December 12, 2023 by Steelers36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted December 12, 2023 Author #149 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The DRO on The Sky is Ciprian Houdreag and he has done an incredible job with his crew. Some of the best we have seen. Victor from Mexico is an assistant manager who also is up in the Sanctuary and I have to give props to him as well. Amit and Romeo at Vines as well as Amel, Benjie and Raisa at take Five rock! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
