“Singapore noodles” should now be renamed Japanese noodles....Great blog .....sweet family

MTD gratuities have to be prepaid when booking in Australia also

  Could not keep my extremely food fussy husband out of Cafe Promenade on our last Voyager trip (Dec)...every time I turned around he had a slice hanging out of his mouth..... I thought he had turned into Homer Simpson

Jewel...... 27th July 2021..... 12 night Baltic Cruise..booked next cruise on Voyager

We are booked on Jewel for 12 nights in the baltics in July 27 if that helps

It's not so much about "venues" as it is about the ships' superstructures.  Both the Voyager and Freedom Class ships have steel superstructures that rather obstruct the views from the aft cabins.  I have booked aft cabins on both Voyager and Freedom Class ships and I still enjoy the extra balcony space but the Vision and Radiance class ships do not have such superstructure obstructions.

 I agree the radiance class aft cabins have unobstructed views cannot speak for other classes ..... YET

Just bought the Bollinger CV and Moet and  Chandon Pink champagne ready for sail away 12th Dec 2019 on Voyager..WOOHOO

I to am on Voyager next week and I booked MTD very early on when the cruise planner first appeared earliest I could get was 7.15 which seemed strange at the time...Just as well we are traveling without children this cruise and can go to later shows

Thank You @AshleyDillo  Your gift of the gab is truly awesome.... I looked forward to reading your blog every day and laughed out loud so often my family thought I was losing it..

Now it's time for the latest round of photographic evidence of my gluttony!

Chops bread in special exclusive Thanksgiving turkey leg shapes for our holiday sailing

Tuna tartare artisically turned as to not see the bite I took before I remembered my faithful followers

Shrimp cocktail -1..dang my mother is quick.

Meat party!!!

Bone in ribeye

Filet with meat tartar sauce, photobombed by asparagus..dry, no salt, no butter, no fun. Thanks mom

They haven't started decorating for the holidays yet.  I helped.

Also, found the butter for my aspargus.

My steak tasted faintly like a Christmas tree.  Otherwise it was decent; more impressive than my prior Chops experiences.  Not saying much as we got the special @WAAAYTOOO treatment with barely lukewarm food.  Still on #teamGiovannis when it comes to the best filet.  Coastal Kitchen didn't get a fair shake as we are in genpop this sailing.  

No dessert for me as I couldn't finish my steak and thus I don't deserve dessert.

My mother didn't finish either as she didn't gnaw off all the meat from the bone.  But she doesn't play by the rules.

Warm chocolate cake

She forced me to order a dessert so she could try two..but buttered asparagus is bad for you

Key lime pie

All this washed down with the swill I affectionately ordered as the free Diamond red stuff.  Merlot, Cabernet they asked...I just nodded and said the stuff that you eat with steak.  It tasted like wine that people who know nothing about wine would drink.  It swirled around the glass just like the expensive stuff the table next to us ordered.

This is night 3 in a row that I ordered red wine but then realized the entree I really wanted was fish.  I had no choice but to order red meat as to not upset any nearby Pinnacles for wining wrong.  We all know they are the experts at wining.

 

Loving your blog

I agree..but I am not going to let it spoil my enjoyment...I am sure I will have a great time despite the loss of JR

Perhaps I will just get the mini bar stocked with cans to save the hassle

Thank you....The soda package has been discounted for thanksgiving( I think) so I an tossing up buying 2 for convenience but do not fancy waiting at bars cup in hand so to speak 

Can  anyone tell me  if Soda machines have been added to the ship during recent amp....would like to purchase packages soon if they have been.....seems like a waste if not

And this is why I don't UDP very often.  If they would allow me to know what I get for $X I'd buy it, but this whole "if it's Tuesday on Oasis when it's not sunny on Navigator on the previous Monday, then you get Playmakers" causes me to avoid the UDP.  Maybe that it's it - corporate sells it, ships don't want it so they veto it to the extent they can.  

I also just prebook the individual restaurants I want so we get the price and time down before the cruise and relax knowing we are not hit with 'surprise' changes

Hope you had a good one

Beautiful photos of Alan and your lovely family .I hope you continue having a wonderful time...So touched he fixed your sons Picachu what a gem of a genie

I have zero suggestions, but I just want to say that I'm jealous as hell (not my first choice of term, but I'm behaving) - I fear I'd never leave Ireland.  I do hope you plan on (live) blogging (even if it's post cruise) and sharing this amazing trip with us.
