Traveler

HiDay 2 leftovers. After the Izumi experience we had to take a rest so we did that . We went to check the on board stores , at least the duty free one to search for alcohol deals , we found some two ce whisky bottle for a good price which we will get at the end of the cruise . Dinners was at Chop's , we had some bad experience with this restaurant (mainly due to a bad waiter) but we said we will give it a try. Sunil was there to makes sure everything will go OK .In the way in we met @Tiffeven and all the kids ,it's actually the first people from RCB we ever met . Who knows maybe we will organize some unofficial RCB meeting here. We took the goat cheese salad, the filet mignon and a lobster bisque plus some . That was accompany with the signature cocktail , some vodka red bull (apologize to the bar, we were tired) and nice Australian red wine. We got an apple pie for dessert. One comment regarding Chop's , this is the only resturant so far which prepare the meat exactly the way you order it. Everything was good.

I think we had your waiter today at Playmaker , I can understand exactly what you were talking about.

C19 ? A remote memory...

Day 2 Day two was our first sea day , breakfast was at our humble balcony and we got what we order and were happy with it (although maybe we should have been more specific about the fresh tomatoes juice as it was with out anything added) we learned very fast two important things about heaving a genie . First not to be shy and ask what you want. Second be specific , but that already discussed on the other blog . We tour the ship and it seem a bit more crowded than last week , bit maybe it's only my feeling. For lunch went to Izumi , the sea weed salad is always good and light bit we keep forgetting the huge size of the roles

To summarize day one embarkation, the port stuff for the genie

Yes , you can rent paddles boards and the sea has a perfect condition for it.

Jamie was opened for lunch for everyone during embarkation.

How did you like the thermal spa ?

And you should , as you see no more excuses as I just proven RCL accepting the vaccinated PDF card . You should do it before they are taken your picture down from the CK wall

Day 1 evening . Befor dinner at 7 pm there was a moment of sit to memorize the 09/11 victims. I think it was touching and very appropriate. We had Hibachi dinner plans and we started to work on our appetit as it's allot of food. Sunil was waiting for is there to complete the evening planning. We started with she's geisha per the recommends we got here and it was very good, thank you. I also tried the spicy drink which also good. The chef show was funy and with one or two new tricks . Food was excellent , we went with the beef that was very tender. We had almost full table and it was allot of fun. As always it was more food we could handle . We had plans to see Hero from our balcony ,Sunil sent us few wine glasses and cold cuts/cheese plate to enjoy with the show which was a nice touch. Some random observation: Ship feels more crowded than last week. Casino was busy with allot of winners (first nights lucky people ) The population seems younger than last cruise. Overall nice first cruise day.

I think around 1800 but it feels more crowded than the last week cruise.

Day8/1 . Morning , 7:30 am it's the end of the cruise but beginning of the next one , mix feelings . Breakfast in Park Cafe and packing, now B2B needs to pack it all and can't leave things on the hanger or at least this is what we understood. Packing was quick and we went to the B2B location in one of the bars. 88 people are doing B2B so there was a small line , good that we came early as lines after that were much bigger they did the vaccine verification (starnge as we wouldn't be on the ship if we weren't vaccinated already). I used the time to connect and check some emails , unfortunately it seems that I will need to do some candidate interviews this week. Around 10 they started to hand over the new cards, first cards we got was with different names which worried me but they re print it. Around 10:45 we were herd to the port with many unexplained stops until we brought to immigration which only took our photo. Next we had to wait for 20 minutes upstairs untill allowed back , Sunil wasn't any part of this process. Back to the ship we what's up again Sunil to let him know we are there and to ask when we expect the cabin to be ready. There was internet issue over the ship which can explain why Sunil was not available although we saw him running to the gangway I guess to bring one of his other guests. I saw the internet was still allowing using the old cabin which explained why there was an issue. Every new cruise they need to run end of cruise/start a cruise script to clean up leftovers and old users/password and do some changes in the database. I ask one of the internet representative to call IT and asked if they did or not. Not sure if it help but after 15 minutes it started to work well. We went to Jamie to eat lunch and wait for our cabin to be ready (we checked and it was not) after lunch we checked the rooms again and got a lecture from one of the cabins attended that the cabins are only ready at 2 PM even if we just wanted to leave our backpacks. We went to tour the spa and gim At 2 PM we came again and finally we were allowed in. What a wonderful cabin Sunil came to say hello and check if everything is OK. We started our star experience.

Good morning , now I know, genie can do anything. Greek salad for breakfast !

Hope you enjoying Hero.

So sorry to hear about your check in process , I guess the genie power is limited to no exist until you past the test , they will need to do better and figure out how to handle this. I can tell you that our B2B was also without any star benefits and we just went bent back by ourselves. But now I hope everything is behind you and you started to enjoy the cruise.

Hearing soon to Hibachi , what is the recommended cocktail there ?

Here are the channels is playmaker ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN, U and ESPN sec. Per what they said they have college football.

Went to the amazing cabin , but not allowed to touch the food until someone will charge her phone and take a video

The schedule for this week

Total 1.5 hours , half hour orientation and almost full hours on the Jet Ski with some stops. I guess it's already depends on the group as you go in one line

Already re boarded , in Jamie , waiting for a sign from the genie for when our cabin ready.
