I didn't even think of that at the time. Hopefully I won't need that information later but I'll tuck it away for the inevitable next time I bang myself up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #478 Share Posted February 1 Couldn't get the scale to work today. The vibrations were giving me an error. Steps still strong, although down in January compares to December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #482 Share Posted February 1 Very good. The meat was hot, juicy and pull apart tender. It had great seasoning and needed no sauce but I tried it anyway and the sauce was also quite tasty. Love this dish. Turkey and pesto panini amd Tunisian crisp fried turnover. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #483 Share Posted February 1 The panini is another favorite and it was as good as ever today. I missed my favorite some sort of croissant woth egg and cheese. I hope I just didn't have enough sea days and not that it's no longer on the menu. But the turkey is also a very nice sandwich. The fries were a little better today but still won't be wowing anyone. I enjoyed the Cole slaw that came with it as well. The turnover was something I want to like. I had it once before and it was terrible. It was better today but I don't think I will try again. The turnover gets soggy from the egg and is just not a pleasant texture. It was also too salty. It had a nice heat that snuck in on you. But the bites without the spice were too salty. Chocolate mousse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #484 Share Posted February 1 Love the chocolate mousse. I could eat like 10 of those but know I would end up in a diabetic coma. Very rich chocolate mousse with some crunchy coco nibs and sliced of strawberry on the bottom. It is so decadent and delicious. Great lunch today, I just would not get the turnover again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just checked the app to see if a lunch menu is available for our 8 night sailing, but it is not. Strangely enough, dinner menu is also missing for nights 7 and 8.... Maybe, they want us to go to the buffet instead? 1 hour ago, jam19872016 said: Love the chocolate mousse.

Your best bet would be to set the app to the most current 8 day cruise. Those look like one of them would put you in a coma. The reviews on them don't seem very good, if I were to pay that ridiculous amount I would at least want it to be good quality ingredients not just a sugar bomb 😄 I have not seen crepes anywhere. I recall finding them before at the buffet for dinner but they were not made fresh to order instead they were in a warming tray behind the counter and you added the toppings from the selections at the buffet. It wasn't very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #487 Share Posted February 1 Got a little down time before happy hour starts so I'm gonna get my pictures from Cozumel posted. Most of the pictures are of the ships, as that was about the only thing of interest along my path. I hugged the coast line in my attempt to walk to the downtown pier. Stepping off the ship and into the cruise ship alley. Nice aft! I still don't have a whole picture, but at least I have a better picture of the ship in case I need it in the future. Now I can see Valor which I could not see from the ship. Also Paradise, poor gal I will sail her one day but that day will be after they announce she is retiring, Fantasy class don't really appeal to me. I told you it was going to be mostly ship pictures right 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #488 Share Posted February 1 Here we go, not a ship, a hippie van with inspirational message. And we are back to ships. Sad we are losing Mariner to Voyager in Port Canaveral. Mariner is vastly superior, enjoy her Texas cruisers. Five ships in one! (you may have to look closely but Spirit is sticking out behind Paradise there) Looking down the other direction towards the other ships in port, Breakaway and a Virgin ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #489 Share Posted February 1 Made it out of the port complex, heading down the street now. I was not prepared for how hot it was once I got away from the water. The wind was quite cold, but in the sunshine it was still summertime. Much less crowded photo op than the one inside the port complex. Voyager. I found a little secluded area just off the main road so I had to go down and check it out 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reached a dead end as there is a beach club up ahead, so I will make my way back to the highway. I don't even know what's going on here, I must have thought it was pretty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #492 Share Posted February 1 Downtown ships getting closer. Closer still. But that's as close as I would get. I was out of water and had quite a hike to get back. I think if I had brought more water in anticipation of how hot it was, I probably could have made the entire journey, but I am not sure as I did still end up with over 21k steps today. It looked close but probably not really, those ships are huge so even though they looked close, they were probably still a good ways away. Back home I went! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #500 Share Posted February 1 I seem to recall ensemble lounge a quiet lounge for light music in the evening. Maybe I'm mistaken. The music is still soft and lights are dimmed for a quiet, intimate evening. But the chatter is deafening loud. The louder the musician got, the louder the talking got. It really felt like people were screaming to be heard. Moving on to the theater now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
