Today is check-in day for our 9/21 sailing.  Time to break out the passports and primp for the selfies.  Maybe after my second cup of hot tea.

Really enjoying your reports. We enjoyed Hola on Euribia and the drinks were quite good. We just ordered ala carte, but so much food. I had to laugh about the room service prosciutto and cheese being a big pile, that is so true. It is a favorite, but everything could be cut in half and there would still be too much.

 

Did you say four more cruises, wow! That's awesome!

I should have said 4 rooms. Two cruises for us, but we are also booking two extra rooms on one them. One for my inlaws (their 50th wedding anniversary) and one for DD1 and BF

isn't your DH the one that makes the cars?  If so, maybe he can use a driver…. EM

I shall share this with him and see if he finds it feasible enough to incorporate in a future gen of cars! 🙂

 You already checked in for your first leg? 

 

[Best Cat Mom]

Nope, not checked in at all yet. The 14-nights are all under one reservation, so we only check in once. I guess I'll be on that tomorrow!

She loves them. She prefers pickled red onions but she'll pick at these. She also loves pickled cucumbers and all sorts of olives

I haven't seen any mint jelly...but i wouldn't be surprised if they had it. Historically mint jelly is served with lamb to balance the gamey flavor of the meat...not necessary in my experience here the two times in the dining room (chops then pistachio crusted rack of..

) or on the pool deck (medallions)

Where did she get her sophisticated and developed palate from ?

@MonsterJoe  Is water available in plastic bottles in the Lounge?  I am debating on whether to bring packets of flavoring (e.g. Ice Tea, Lemonade, etc..)

I don't think I will suffer w/o mint jelly! If fixed well I will love it!

Mine are two separate reservations numbers so I guess next week I get to do it all over again, for what it's worth.
