Not to me. CL machine cappuccino suits me just fine. Coffee is as subjective as food.

No such thing if you’re going home.

Butter chicken? I only eat Indian on cruises so I’m no expert but that’s my fav. I had it the other night & some today with the paella. Probably shouldn’t have had 4 tacos after that, lol. That’s how we feel. Some are exceptional but all enjoyable. I have some bad food items of course, but there are 50 other things to move on to. I don’t like every show but that’s 45 mins of your day. Way too much good to outweigh the bad, IMO.

Now I’ll have to go back, lol. I kept meaning to try them & had the caramel flan but not the chocolate. I’ve been deprived. The only other ELF I’ve tried is on Allure and that’s not a real one; they just stuck the ELF food into Mini Bites or whatever that venue was so it’s not a great fit & has very long lines.

Just saw Vinay for like the 5th time in 6 days. ELF is the busiest I’ve seen so far (1:00 on a sea day so makes sense) but it’s still really not that bad. It’s pretty large & open on Wonder. Nice breeze up on deck 16 too.

Yes. She actually wanted to make a normal chipwich with vanilla ice cream & milk chocolate chips but they only had chocolate ice cream so she reversed it. BTW, I’ve seen complaints about WJ not having real scooped ice cream on some ships anymore but Wonder has had it everyday for lunch and dinner.

Apparently so much she’s making another to take back to her lounger. Told you all I married a big kid.

Wife loved her newest creation…

Seafood was good (for WJ)… rice was dry but that’s fine. More room for ELF. For a while they always had paella on day 1 & it was really good since it was so freshly made but hadn’t seen it on my last 3 cruises.

Stopped in WJ since wife doesn’t eat ELF and got distracted by paella & a cookie I’ve never seen before in the kids section.

Just lost another post. Grrr. Short version… Solarium on Wonder really is a bit warm with no breeze so we’re tucked away in a corner of the pool deck with shade, a breeze, & no foot traffic. Other than the music, it’s fine. Off to get lunch then fill our Bezos cup holders.

I vote for all of the above but you already knew that. Thanks for the reminder! It’s bad enough I have my phone, the elevator sign in the floor, & the debarkation flier to remind me. indeed!

Told ya Kenny was a good guy. Hopefully you didn’t get reprimanded for being too loud on the bridge… which may or may not have happened to our group, lol.

And this is why most things are so subjective. Glad you enjoyed it. We saw it in October and pretty much hated it. Everyone should try everything they think they might like no matter what they read, IMO, be it a show, restaurant, food item, etc.

Do you have room for a freeloader? I’ll nap on the suite sun deck & carry on a case of Evian for you.

We’re pre-vintages with vintage tendencies. We can’t party like you. We do stay up later than @asquared17 but not sure that says a whole lot.

Wife won’t go near coffee & only drinks tea for a sore throat, lol. Strong possibility she eats/drinks more like your D15. Actually, safe bet D15 eats way more things. I married a big kid but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being an adult isn’t as fun except for the drinking.

Johnny Rockets cookies n cream milkshakes. We’ve mostly given up on trying to use most of them on more expensive cocktails, especially when we’re off the ship all day. No idea what we’ll do with 10 after this, lol. Some days I’ll have 4-6 actual drinks but not everyday & my wife will need 2 milkshakes/day to go with her 1-2 daiquiris. 1st world D+ problems.

Follow-up… hard to go wrong with any breakfast sammie in my book, even fast food ones are fine. But what made me start eating these so often a while back was getting a runny egg & I got a really good one today. Need to work on my sleep issues so I can both sleep better (obv) and get back to my normal cruise routine. I really didn’t do much pre-7am this week besides getting to the CL for coffee a little earlier & I miss Central Park at 6:30am.

First Park Cafe McMuffin. I usually get them more often in the early am since Park Cafe opens at 6:30am on some ships but each cruise is different & I haven’t been up as early as usual to have a big pre-breakfast with my CL cappuccinos this week.

Been busy with my own cruise & blog but will follow more closely when we’re sadly back home Sunday. Safe travels!

Thanks for sharing. Didn’t keep up closely once I left on my own cruise last Sunday but enjoyed reading.

On Wonder right now (as is Matt) and one exception is if you are getting into a port late. We saw brunch there when we were docking in St. Thomas at 12:30.

And there’s our 2nd alpha call.

Huge plane from France landing at Maho Beach…
