Is this buffet food? I've never seen anything so delectable in the Garden Cafe...though I'm not sure I agree with corn in gravy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, she is still a great ship…I just won’t cruise on her on weekends in the Fall due to no Playmaker’s. I sailed on the Liberty seven years ago on a Western Caribbean cruise out of Galveston, TX and I thought she was a great ship as well. I’ll be sailing on the Independence in Fall 2025, so it’ll be interesting to see how they compare.

Prime rib, medium - looking at Cagney's on NCL I had the prime rib on Symphony earlier this month ... it was TERRIBLE!!! It seems to get worse each time I order it. Hopefully the prime rib is better sourced from Italy (for my upcoming Odyssey TA sailing). 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ... prepaid, 3GB data and good for 15 days, it's on LTE signal with my Google Fi, T-Mobile sim turned off on the Galaxy S24, posting now in our stateroom & WiFi is off, no chance of using Voom. At some point during this cruise, I will take on Voom with Starlink for a spin as well to compare. Discussions & review later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted yesterday at 01:20 AM Author #66 Share Posted yesterday at 01:20 AM Mrs unpacked and 24" spinner fit under the bed. All of our special requests taken care of ... housekeeping is once a day only, with a choice of morning or afternoon - we opted for morning (before noon) Connecting doors between the 2 cabins unlocked & open for us, done ✅ Room's mini safe is small, like NCL but in open bolt position and locked, request in & waiting for maintenance to reset it, reported via our steward ... most likely won't get to it until tomorrow. Requested an extension cable, ✅ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted yesterday at 02:56 AM Author #71 Share Posted yesterday at 02:56 AM (edited) Earlier photos at Cape Liberty while I was busy, off to park the car ... This is vastly improved since we last sailed out of here in 2012, organized and well staffed and flow nicely. Up we go towards the gangway, elevator for accessible pax Our muster station here Edited yesterday at 02:57 AM by mking8288 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted yesterday at 03:34 AM Author #73 Share Posted yesterday at 03:34 AM Photos from 1 of our 2 Promenade Inside that sleeps 2, cozy but well laid out. Color scheme typical in those days. Simple system to signal DND and no key card needed to power on the room's electrical. Bath is similarly sized like our Cunard balcony last month, sliding shower door preferred over the vinyl curtain. Old habits, it's a good thing that I am not doing a test run on Joint Commissions, Environments of Care inspection of Care facilities ... deduct 2 points, look closely. It's an inexpensive & easy maintenance item to replace ... sprouting a leak. 😆 LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted yesterday at 03:38 AM Author #74 Share Posted yesterday at 03:38 AM (edited) TV has a number of channels, useful & deliver news & weather, navigation stats & bridge cam ... although resolution is at most 720 dpi, maybe just 480. Both Cunard and Royal walking all over NCL in this area, a bigger screen would be great and Cunard gets the thumbs up with larger monitor in size, wall mounted, but tempered proof (can't mess with it) Edited yesterday at 03:40 AM by mking8288 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted yesterday at 03:59 AM Author #75 Share Posted yesterday at 03:59 AM (edited) Late night speed results ... I can watch YouTube with this, but burn 3GB data easily & quickly - then will need to top up. Tethering w hotspot enabled, slower as it should, but not blocked, from Google Pixel 7 Pro Going to call it for the evening, Station Zebra signing off until breakfast as we maintain 20 kts easterly toward Beantown 😁 Edited yesterday at 04:02 AM by mking8288 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
