I did not end up going back into Malaga.  I just chilled until dinner.

 

Dinner was Test Kitchen.  

 

Menu
 

 

I decided to do the non-alcoholic pairinf and wife got the cocktail pairing.  I may not remember the drinks.  It was verbally described.  They were complex.

 

This was a cashew tonic, which is the best description for it.

 

 

Wife got this.  I think it was some kind of spritzer?

 

 

Corn Bread

 

 

Corn.  This was a corn custard or mousse.  Similar to mushroom.

 

 

This was essentially green tea and honey.  It was a little bitter.

 

 

Can’t remember.  They were complex.

 

Salmon.  Same presentation as Egg.

 

 

 

 

 

Can’t remember

 

This was a ginger beer mixture

 

Beetroot

 

Wife couldn’t have beetroot so she had this.  Mixture of tomatoes, olives, sugar and other things.  She said it was amazing.  I hate olives so yeah, i’ll take her word for it.

 

This was her drink.  Again, drawing a blank

 

Looked similar to mine.  mine was a chamomile drink.  Tea.

 

Shrimp

 

Lamb

 

 

 

strawberry something

 

Ginger Uzu soju

 

Asparagus.  This was complex.  Asparagus dessert?

 

Coconut Spritz

 

Berry something?

 

“Strawberry” I put this in quotes because although there are strawberries in this, the absolute star is the cream here.  WASABI CREAM!!!  I would never think to add wasabi to a dessert.  And it slayed.

 

 

I LOVE this menu way better than the Egg menu.  The Egg Menu is not bad.  This one was just that good.  Do both.  But this one is better.

Yes!!!!!!

 

Luck put us in a solo table in Test Kitchen. That sped our service up.  We were a little late by about 5 minutes.  However, I was a little confused at first.

 

So this was the Untitled Dance Party in the Red Room.

 

 

 

The show is confusing at first but then things moved!!!  Thats low key genius on getting people to dance.  You move them!!!  Its also the most effective way get people to do the electric slide 🤣

 

Also, this lady KILLED Celine Dion’s My love will go on.  I don’t even like that song.

 

 

It ended up being a lot of fun.  Loved it.

Good morning from.

 

 

We are actually visual range of Spain!  

 

Last sea day.  Not sure what i want to do.   Normally with a cruise this long, at this point, I would be feeling listless and homesick.  I normally cross over from relaxed and worry free to feeling like i’m wasting away because i haven’t made a meaningful decision in 13 days now. 

 

Today’s Glance.

 

 

 

I made it to Razzle Dazzle for lunch.  I prefer this place over Wake for Lunch.  This one is the 3rd time i’m here for Brunch.

I think we're getting close behind on resilient lady based on that view 😂

yeah, I heard that.

[Rogueperson]

I should note that I just walked in here for lunch.  No reservations.  It was a whim.

 

Additional food pictures.

 

Salmon Bowl.  This was simple and light.  Salmon could be better seasoned, but overall, it was decent.

 

 

Fried chicken sandwich.  This is a solid fried chicken sandwich.  It won’t win any awards, but it is good.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m going to start posting some observations as I remember them as with this cruise, being our first (and definitely not last), there are a lot.  Mostly good.

 

First one.  Minor minor issue.  I predominately drink iced tea.  I kind of feel like the waitstaff forget to give me this when i ask.  And even when they don’t it takes a while to get it.  I think its because they have to go elsewhere to get it.

You seem to be going slower so thinking is a chance we'll bump in to you soon, not literally hopefully 

[Rogueperson]

Observation.

 

My Initial thought on the Red Room which is Scarlet Lady’s theater was that it was too small to accommodate to population of passengers on this ship.  

 

Thinking about it, I still think that but at the same time, this is coming from my experience on Royal where they have two shows a night and it accommodates most of the ship.  The reality is that it is rarely filled 100% to capacity.  So the smaller venue makes sense for space efficiency even though its bad for lines as people compete for better seats.

 

BUT

 

 

 

 

All three of these pictures are from Red Room.  It is modular and can be reconfigured, apparently pretty easily.  Shoot, the stage moved at the Untitled Dance Party.  I think this absolutely makes up for the lack of efficiency of accommodating large crowds.

Debating on whether to return to town as I have about three hours before dinner.

 

I just spent the last hour or so stalking @laurieal on deck seeing if i could see her.  In reality, this is the first time i’ve been in port with another ship where I knew when she was leaving.  Because laurieal posted her cruise compass 😆.  Anyways, I could check out if she had pier runners.

 

On another note as I’ve spent a little significant time on this deck right now, our pool is TINY.

 

 

I didn’t realize there was an even smaller portion that was any reasonable depth.  No belly flop contests on this ship.

 

Here’s the other wading pool.

 

The "pools" are more of a water feature. 😂

You must have missed my post on Scarlet Night.  Thats exactly what my friend said to me when I said people went into the pool during the party.  My response to her was “They still went in!!!”

Got a notification.  Resilient will pass us.

 

 

[Rogueperson]

More observations.

 

Surprise finding.  

 

 

Anyone who knows me knows I love popcorn.  However, like coffee, I’m finicky.  Movie theater popcorn rubs me the wrong way.  Not only you pay as much as admission for popcorn, its generally not good popcorn.  Many theater popcorn leaves like a film in your mouth.  Its a product of mass popcorn preparation.  I can say here, this popcorn is fresh and clean.  Good popcorn here.

[Rogueperson]

I lucked out with back to back shows.

 

First one.

 

 

 

Out of the 3 comedians I’ve seen, he was by far the best.  The other two gave me a little chuckle, but this guy had me rolling.

 

Second show.

 

 

 

 

Most magicians center their show on their magic, but she had a whole package act.  It was fun.  Not the magician I’ve seen, but the show in its entirety was great.

[Rogueperson]

SCORE!!!!

 

They released extra Lolz Supper clubs.  Got a reservation!!!

Hello Resilient Lady

 

 

Its still pretty far out

[Rogueperson]

Resilient Lady is coming at us behind the sun.  Thats why there’s a shadow

 

[Rogueperson]

Best picture of Resilient Lady as she raced past us.

 

[Rogueperson]

Dinner was back in Gumbae.  No repeat pictures.  It definite depends on your tablemates.  Last night, we were in fire.  Tonight, not so much.  Not bad, but last time was way better.

 

At least I was able to finally catch a sunset.

 

Hmm, didn’t notice the fingerprints on the window until just now.

 

 

I think we’re running out of steam.  The first time Pop Rebel was in the Manor, it was packed and energetic.  Tonight, not so much.

 

 

[Rogueperson]

Good Morning from Valencia.  

 

 

 

 

I’m just sitting in the Galley waiting for both wife and tour to start.

 

 

This is today’s planned tour.

 

 

You know what i don’t see here?  Oasis.  We beat you here @laurieal!!  Go team Scarlet Lady

 

edit:  my bad, you’re here somewhere

The theme of this cruise is:  Maybe i got too much.

 

 

[laurieal]

Good morning, Lady in Red!

 

 

Did you think you could hide among all those containers?

 

(It took me a while to spot you 😂)

So it wasn’t just me being blind.  You’re taller than us.  I did a quick scan and saw no other ships near us.  I knew in the back of my mind that MSC Fantasia would be here too.  Then I saw a friend of mine on another page who also happens to be onboard Oasis with the caption “ready for my 8am ride” with a photo so you did beat us here.
