Star Class kid problems...

D10: I don’t want to eat at Park Cafe with you, I want to eat Sorrentos and go swimming. 

Me: Ok. Sorrentos isn’t open yet. Call Araceli and ask for a pizza to be delivered from room service. I’m going to the suite lounge. (Leave the room)

D12: (Picks Up the phone) Araceli, can we get 3 slices of pizza? 

(Hubby in the background...”Get a full pizza cause room service comes in a box.”)

D12: Ok, Araceli can we get a full pizza?

Araceli: So 3 pizzas?

D12: (Still thinking of Sorrentos slices) Yes, 3 pizzas.

1/2h later... ?

Long the blog! And loving the pics!

I am also loving how not busy the ship seems..could just be luck each time you take a picture but it never seems crazy crowded anywhere so far.... ?

I have found that with every OA class sailing, it never feels crowded. This class of ships disperses the crowd really well. The only times it feels crowded is during a special event on the Promenade or after a show is finished. But that is expected.

nteresting thing happened tonight at Chops. We ran into the CK manager that we met back in 2017 when we last sailed Harmony. Turns out he received a promotion since we last saw him in 2017 and he is now the speciality restaurant manager on board Harmony.

By any chance was that Sorin?

enjoying your blog, thanks

I’d be to differ when it comes to elevators. Even early in the morning and afternoons we had serious elevator crowding problems.

Dinner Night 4: Izumi Hibachi 

Tonight was our first time having Izumi Hibachi but it definitely won’t be our last. I loved the meal tonight both in flavour and entertainment!

The meal starts with soy beans and a salad. We were not a fan of either but no big deal as the rest of the meal more than made up for it.

We also ordered tempura and dumplings for apps.

A waitress came around to take our order. You get a choice of carbs (white, brown, or Udon noodles) and then your choice of protein. Because we are SC this sailing, we could get any amount of protein that we wanted. Both Hubby and I got two each. Kids got one. Everyone gets fried rice. 

The food is cooked to order right in front of you. Our chef not only cooked but provided great entertainment. I knew it was going to be a funny dinner when he began with, “Hi, I’m Dennis from the Philippines, your fake Japanese chef.” ?

After dinner you have a choice of Mochi ice cream or Sesame balls for dessert. Because I am trying to live up the SC life the best I can, I ordered both ?

iSkate is a collection of pieces that is supposedly chosen by the skaters. No cameras or photography but I did get a pic of a skater...

This is Ricky Matthews. First CD ever that I have ever seen get onto the ice. And it wasn’t just a hello, this is what event comes next sort of thing. He did a 5 min show all his own. Impressive. Funny guy.

That’s all for tonight. Tomorrow is a sea day.

Sitting here reading your awesome posts, wondering if Aracelli will deliver pizza to us down in the boiler room next April....

If you recall a time last March, I did tell you to sail with us and it would make for a more interesting live blog. If you took me up on it, I would deliver pizza to your boiler room ?

We stopped by the room before the ice show to find more surprises from Araceli waiting.

The towel animal zoo is growing nicely.

Do you ask for all of the snacks, or does Araceli just do it? My kids will love this, but wondering if I should specifically request.

The towel animals are adorable!

The snacks on the couch were a total surprise from Araceli. The kids noted on their pre-cruise survey that they liked Doritos (none of the ship; only Lays regular) and chocolate bars.

Towel animals courtesy of our awesome stateroom attendants Rohan and his assistant Pagi.

Did Izumi have it’s own bar that you can try that drink without dining there? It looks delicious and I’d love to see if they could make a mocktail version!

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that any Izumi has a separate bar.

I've gained 10 lbs by looking at all of those snacks. Love it. Also love seeing pics from your family's point of you. Everything looks familiar (from mine in July) but slightly different (perspective).

Hubby only ate fruit this morning. He is feeling like he gained 10lbs. ?

Ricky was CD on our first cruise on Majesty.  He was awesome every time we saw him, and he was always super nice whenever you'd see him around the ship.

Cupcake class

This Class was held in Wonderland today.  It was an interesting experience but not one that I would care to repeat or pay out of pocket for. 

A6E32F64-B5AF-4E52-8A5B-1E751ED9224B.thumb.jpeg.90e6b262194b5a09b504f6571cd6b037.jpeg

Upon entering, you are asked to wash your hands.  Then you are seated at the table with a variety of decorating ingredients.

We found that it was hard to follow the instructions as there was one person leading it but the room was quite large and it made it hard to see her if you were not sitting near her.

The goal was to create a penguin from Madagascar. Because some of us ended up getting frustrated, we ended up going rogue and creating our own thing.  One of us stuck to the plan. Take a guess at who created what....?

This one won most creative and the chef took a picture on her own device when we left:

Overall impression is that this is a cute activity to do on a sea day but not with the up charge if you had to pay for it.

After the class we took a walk around. They were making complimentary Oreo shakes so D10 couldn’t resist.

Off to the Solarium bar for me. Today I felt like a Love Connection (mango, strawberry, pina colada) with Kraken in honour of @Matt

The drink card has also appeared today.

Now we're talkin'!   

The Solarium is my main reason for booking my cabins at the front of the ship (that, and the elevators are much 

more manageable than at the stern).  It will make for a longer walk in the morning to Starbucks as opposed to Lady O, though.

Hopefully the hangovers won't be too bad...

I totally shouldn't have taken time to catch up today as I am in total crunch time for our Sky class cruise leaving on Sunday (driving down Saturday.)  Our goal in Star class was to avoid the WJ and other than going by and taking some photos we totally did.  I will also mention that our Star Class cruise was one of the only cruises I have been on where I didn't catch some kind of cold.  It was so nice to be so...isolated ?  Enjoying!!

Lunch was at Izumi today. The menu is the same as I posted a few days ago.  Food fatigue is starting to set in...

Drink menu because I think I forgot to post it last night...
