Pooch

That looks like the suites lounge at Terminal G.

Same with us on Explorer in March. 9 ships in port. I’ve sworn off cruises out of Miami.

Yes please before I post something that will get me banned!!!

Well they wouldn’t know anything about any of those ships so wouldn’t know to want them. Flowrider? Slides? Mini Golf?BBall court? Grandson #2 probably won’t leave the hot tub!

Well the grands would be 17, 16, 14 & 8 so talk about feeling old!

Would my teenage grandsons have enough to do?

That is hands down my favorite menu! I could eat large quantities of the dumplings and spring rolls!

Ok I hated eggs when I was a kid, like EEWWW please don’t make me eat that!!! I would drown them in…… applesauce! I know, I know but apparently that was my go to food. My parents had a favorite German restaurant we went to several times a month & my appetizer was always a bowl of applesauce.

Before last cruise, I would have said the crab cakes but the ones we were served on Explorer in March were not good. Nor was the lobster bisque which I pushed away after a couple of spoonfuls . And I was soooo looking forward. If it makes a difference, this was on the last night of the cruise. The beef carpaccio and shrimp cocktail on day one were both terrific.

Most professional regional theaters, which is about the level of a cruise ship production, have 4- 6 week rehearsal schedules, often less.

Unfortunately it’s often not til you board! If you want to see menus, change to a current cruise of the same length on any ship. Those menus will more than likely mirror yours.

I’d like to see Jersey Boys or Chicago.

Sandy was not the female lead in the original musical. Rizzo was. But Stockard Channing (who could act circles around ONJ) was not enough of a box office draw so they rewrote the show to give ONJ the bigger part and more songs. But my issue with the show is not its performance. It’s the horrible message it sends. Being pretty and smart and funny is not enough girls, gotta tart yourself up to get your man! You gotta “cream for greased lightening” and justify your promiscuity because “there are worse things I could do”. But it’s all good in the end cuz I gotta stop at the drug store. I got my period!! ALL of this is in the musical. How does it become a staple of community theater & high school music departments?!!!

Cats doesn’t have a “plot”. It’s based on the Book of Practical Cats by TS Elliot & is a series of vignettes with a very loose theme running through them. You can’t look at it as a traditional musical.

Lots of bad movies do well at the box office. Makes them financially successful not good. And I’m sorry I don’t have an answer to your question.

Thank God. Such an awful musical. The original musical was bad enough but this is based on the even more awful movie. Double the “just bad”!!

My DBP for Diamond & above is listed as 50% off $54.99. Lowest I’ve seen in a long time.

Everybody sing!!!

I think you need to list them again.

It’s a cannoli cake. Yellow cake filled with basically cannoli filling & baked. I put some cannoli chips on it this time but they didn’t really add anything special. Plan that group cruise & I’ll bring one!

Looks fancier than it is. It’s actually a dump it all in kind of cake. I’ll bring it when we all arrange a “fans of @asquared17” group cruise!

Ok this thread seems to be dying so I’ll post my latest culinary adventure - cannoli cake!

Just as you said, MJ dinner opened last week for reservations along with Samba Grill.

You do know you are replying to a thread from 3 years ago?

I dunno guys. I have a cheapo brand called Travelers Choice. My kids have Samsonite soft sided. We’ve used them 3-4 times a year for a dozen years. The Samsonite is starting to look pretty sad & might get replaced this year. The rest are Timex watches, they take a licking and keep on ticking. Show no signs of dying any time soon.
