This was taken just after 10:00am (-3 GMT, set clocks ahead last night). Line on the otherside was much longer. My suggestion, Solarium Bistro. Was fairly empty and had most of the core breakfast items. Solarium bistro and cafe promenade were our go tos on allure...we never even ate at the windjammer. Solarium bistro was never crowded!

JLMoran Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 2 hours ago, CGTLH said: My idea of quality pool time... I see the felt is just as worn and mangled as when I sailed her last year. I seriously hope that they fix up the pool tables when she goes into dry dock next year. Bad enough that the pool tables aren't the self-leveling kind like on the Radiance class ships, but then to have the tables as worn as that and pool cues that need replacing (or at least re-tipping) makes it even worse.

It was that one. #teamDX It sure was pretty though. D12 wanted to know if it was available in a non-alcoholic version TBH, it was not my favorite either! And tell D12, that yes! It does come in a non-alcoholic version. When I asked for one to take a Pic, the bartender made me one. It was actually better than the alcoholic one! Found it!

KathyC Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 We have an amazing grilled peaches recipe, with mascarpone cheese. So good. You grill the peaches, then marinate them in brandy or white wine, depending on your flavor preference. Soften the cheese, then stir in some vanilla. Top the peaches with the cheese. Yum!

Hubby and D12 are still in bed. D10 and I wandered into the WJ as everything else was already done for breakfast. Awful place! We walked in and walked right back out. Told D10 that I could not do it. Pure madness in there! We wandered down to the Esplanade to grab some milk and pound cake. That was breakfast. Currently wandered into a napkin folding class while we wait for 270 to open for lunch. Still no sign of Hubby and D12. This afternoon we have a meet up at 1pm and the bar crawl at 2:30pm. I am sure some scopes will follow... Suggest trying the cafe outside of the 270 for breakfast. Was never really crowded there when we sailed back in June . Good breakfast sandwiches , lots of fresh fruit and pastries too.
