AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Show was during the night sailaway from San Juan but I made it out to the jogging track on deck 5 and caught the pilot boat keeping pace with the ship. The pilot hopped on and the boat sped away. Lovetocruise2002, Jaymac Radio, SpeedNoodles and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Lies, pure lies. All that is around the bend is an awesome place to watch the wake. For the record, at no point will I be using this jogging track for its intended purpose. SpeedNoodles, Mrs. RoyalMoyal, cruisestuff and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Since I'm awake early, now I'm playing the game of what time did 1am Ashley decide she needed her coffee wake up call. I could go and just fetch my own coffee since I am awake, but then I might miss my room service delivery and that just seems rude. So I will lay in bed and wait. View from my bed. Sigh, life is hard.

AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Also, does anybody else fill out their room service hanger while eating their late night snacks from Cafe Promenade and Sorrentos, or is that just a me thing?

AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I went with the assorted pastries as my beard for coffee delivery. I think a better name for assorted pastries would be mystery pastries. Totally adding that to my end of cruise survey comments.

AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 My mother called my room while I was waiting for room service and said she was going to get coffee and asked if I wanted to walk over to Park Cafe with her. I explained the room service situation and I was waiting for them to deliver but I had no clue when that was happening. She asked me if I wanted her to bring back anything. I told her coffee.

AshleyDillo 3,720 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 View from the card room/Loyalty Ambassador's lounge which is where the Diamond Lounge used to be on Decks 11 and 12 before they were deported to the dungeon on deck 4. My mother never got her Meal with an Officer invite for the D+ over 340 points set. Loyalty Ambassador hours are 9:30 to 11:00. It's currently 9:46 and he is nowhere to be seen..par for the course.

The haul...just to assure the stinky pits won't happen again, got plenty of options And since the UDP is cutting into my sit in the Diamond Lounge and squirrel away cans of Coke Zero time.... It tastes better in a bottle anyways. Do you know if they still giving cans of soda especially Zero at bars with the package? AshleyDillo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they have it then you can get it. They sometimes run out and you have to go bar hopping to find a bar that has it. They usually will give you the can if you ask but usually they will open and pour it into a glass by default. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they usually don't carry Coke Zero on the guns so they have to do cans. I agree the stuff in the Freestyle machines tastes different and cans are better than that. But individual bottles are still supreme. I have a whole Coke Zero preference hierarchy. SpeedNoodles, JohnK6404 and KristiZ 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree with your Coke Zero hierarchy - it's my soda of choice as well. AshleyDillo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
