schmoopie17 Posted February 25 #1 Share Posted February 25 So, we will be boarding the Jade in a couple of hours. This morning, our Tampa hotel decided to prank us by putting out hash browns (aka greasy hockey pucks…actually triangles…not sure how hockey players shoot triangular pucks). Not being an NCL hash brown fan, I was reluctant to try one. The grease sponges never seemed appetizing. But in the spirit of taking one for the team, as well as our impending boarding, I gave it a go. Surprisingly, not awful. I even took an extra one. 4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sugar Magnolia Posted February 25 #4 Share Posted February 25 The pre-cruise appearance of hash browns is an auspicious sign that you will have a fabulous time on the Jade. P.S. I will not be surprising you on this cruise. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. I will not be surprising you on this cruise. Rats…I guess I can stop fantasizing about it then. Speaking of surprising someone, this is the cruise where we decided to surprise our long-time friends (and prompted a huge CC discussion about surprising people on cruises.) Actually, the wife was in on the plan to surprise her husband. He had no idea we’d be joining them on the cruise.The plan was we’d pick them up at the Tampa airport. The wife told him she ordered an Uber. We ended up being the “Uber” and the look on the husband’s face when he saw us was priceless. Let’s hope he’ll be as happy to see us 14 days from now at the end of the cruise. Edited February 25 by schmoopie17 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phooey on the negative nellies. And apologies to all Nellies. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about cookies, if there's a CC Meet & Greet and you are going, look around and see if, perhaps, they will have freshly baked goodies in the morning for folks ... Happy cruising 😸 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are no where near hash browns. These are hashbrowns. Suggest you spend some time at a Waffle House.

Hash browns should be shredded…not molded into triangles or circles. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also go with nothing when the greasy hockey puck sponge isn't offered on NCL. Now if I know a restaurant makes a real hash brown (like you photographed and showed above), then I'll order hash browns. Otherwise, I skip the carbs too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're cruising soon. Those triangular "hash browns" are one of the top three thing my wife loves about cruising. For me, it's the wonderful croissants; love 'em!
