Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Dinner in CK tonight. Its Braised Beef night. Excellent cut, quality, and taste. So far really happy with CK on this sailing.ย ย Last night the girls and I tried out the chicken noodle soup from the kids menu. We had low expectations but it was delicious! You could tell it was made from scratch and fresh. Tonight Hubby tried it and turns out the whole family loves it. D16 said if she could get a double serving, she would be perfectly content having that for dinner.ย Neesa, JohnK6404, KristiZ and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Nothing too exciting to report from Cozumel. We got off the ship, walked around the port area, then hopped on a taxi downtown. The cost is $8 flat for 1-4 passengers. Very easy to get there and back. ย Sadly, no big purchases today. I did find some things at Effy but decided I donโt really need another piece right now so we left it behind. I really do love their designs though.ย Itโs pretty hot here in Cozumel so by about 12:30pm we decided we had enough and headed back to the ship.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 The morning started off pretty normal with breakfast in CK. We had a follow up appointment with the Portrait Studio at 11:00 am. Hubby and I showed up early because we were still somewhat undecided on what to do. Around 10:42am, there was an Oscar, Oscar, Oscar port side call. I left Hubby at the portrait studio and headed to the aqua theatre to see what I could see. This is what I saw. The ship stopped very quickly and made a quick turnaround. Around 11:00 am, the captain made an announcement that they spotted a vessel with many people on board and they would send out a rescue boat to investigate.ย Shortly after that, the captain came back on with another update saying that all on board the little boat were fine and did not wish to be rescued. They asked for provisions of food, water, and blankets. The captain said they would send those out with the rescue boat and we will continue on our way. By about 12:30pm we were back on our way to Nassau. Hubby got this picture from the jogging track as we left.ย Meanwhile, while we were picking our photos, around 11:15am, there was an Alpha, Alpha, Alpha call in the Bionic Bar. Hope all was well there as I have not heard about what happened there. ellcee, Neesa, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 The plan was to have lunch at Park Cafe today but on our way down, we took a peek at what CK had for lunch. We never eat lunch at CK but we could not pass on todayโs menu. This one we have never tried.ย For me, it was the Royal Chicken sandwich that lured me in. For Hubby, it was the Alfredo. I am also beyond excited to report that the Mushroom Soup on this menu today is the same one from Chops! @WAAAYTOOOย I thought of you right away. This made my day as we are not star this sailing and did not purchase specialty dining so I assumed the Chops Mushroom soup was lost to me this sailing.ย ย asquared17, Jax, JohnK6404 and 8 others 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
