Luly Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 At Izumi the second time what is the sushi in the middle right of your picture. The huge one with the stringy things below and on top of it. We'll be at Izumi on Vision in a few weeks.

There are lines during the busy times to enter the WJ, not that I would know, but that is what my parents told me. However, crowds are still dispersed well except it is hard to get elevators.

Ampurp85 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I was on Harmony in September, and it was at capacity, I can't imagine being oversold. I am glad you and your family are enjoying the villa. I will say that cruising has brought my family together as well and it is nice to have that close time.

I wanna say I do recall seeing it on the menu though we never went. I'm pretty sure Chris Wong did an Izumi episode when he was on Odyssey and while I believe he got sushi, he might have shown the menu.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 I cannot remember where I left off this afternoon…. After Izumi, we all sort of went our separate ways. Kids went to do mini golf and ultimate abyss. My parents disappeared for one of their many daily walks, Hubby went to the gym and joined some 90s dance class (don’t ask lol), and the rest of us just had some chill out time.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Dinner brought us to Chops tonight. My Dad, who has often proclaimed that eating is the highlight of his cruises, declared Chops as his best meal so far. I always love Chops because of their mushroom soup and lobster.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 After Chops, we made our way to the Royal Theatre for Grease. We have seen this show several times before. Unfortunately, Hubby and I both agreed that this is probably the weakest cast we have seen. Videos uploaded to IG. Awfully slow!

asquared17 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 …oh sweet lord. maybe the reason security was slow to respond is because they were all on deck 11, trying to keep the volume down on symphony but also of all the places… the solarium bar?? not where i would’ve banked on any altercations taking place, tbh. the more you know, i guess… GREAT shot of your family at the theater!!!!

Around 11am yesterday, the gang was getting Starbucks and we were waiting outside. There was a group on the carousel that drew enough attention that they called security. One came along and then a second one came by. Oversold cruise lol 7 hours ago, SweetPea said: OMG, next thing you know, Royal's going to be implementing the fight fine, like Carnival....

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Today’s adventures… Hubby found some cheap $10 shirts. No idea why he is so obsessed with these. The cheapest purchases take the longest to decide. Then, if you guessed “That Yoda Guy”, winner, winner. BTW, for anyone wondering, those white fold up chairs are super comfy. First hand experience lol Kids had to take a dip in the water, even the one who wore her runners. No clue what the train of thought was there.
