Matt Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Quite a spread! The international food selection on RC is an underrated strength of the cruise line, even if sushi gets considered from Brazil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Brazil (mainly Sao Paulo) you have the second largest Japanese population outside of Japan In Sao Paulo you can have as much as you can eat Sushi lunch for 15 $ you just order from the menu whatever you want (including very good sashimi ).

January is a popular time for Brazilians to travel to the US (many are on Summer Break), so I'd bet there are many Brazilians on your sailing. The sushi is a bit of a stretch being labeled as Brazilian, though there is a tad of logic to it. The most populous city in Brazil is São Paulo (in fact, it's one of the most populous cities in the world). It is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan, so while sushi has become popular in many Western nations, they certainly haven't a shortage of it there. Thanks for all the updates!

Just saw this after my initial note. Yuppers. Still seems a stretch (in the same way it'd be funny to see Mexican mole under a US flag on a P & O ship, but I see their logic :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTLH Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 One thing that has gone unnoticed.. Fruit garnishes have disappeared from drinks. Wasn't even asked for during The Quest last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Just posted for the Facebook Insiders the last 360 shots from my camera. Still glad it was at least recovered for the memory card. Still won't turn on and makes an sparking/grit noise when the USB cable is unplugged. Don't notice anything when plugging in.

CGTLH Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Still have plenty of images I need to edit/render and upload. Just takes awhile. The Surface Pro 3 is a nice compact laptop/tablet. However, Lightroom needs a bit of power to do the HDR merge function and the Surface can take around 5 minutes for one set. Plus it ends up slowing to a crawl when trying to queue up multiple merges. On a side note. The travel router I have still works fine (not a common brand). Plus the MAC clone feature is handy when being lazy and not wanting to bother with logoff.com. Never had a chance to do any more VPN testing outside of using my phone. Plus I'm still not confident that my provider was blocked or I had something misconfigured with IPSec. Think PPTP and OpenVPN with no scramble was being blocked.

Was taking a photo from one to the overlooks on the trail. Left the camera so I wouldn't be in a shot. Right when I was done and ready to grab the camera someone came running up and knocked it about 10ft+ to the surf below. One of the Labadee staff members (thanks Willkin) who works the baby zipline went down and was able to retrieve the camera from the surf. Camera was on, forced it off and now it won't power back on. Guess time will tell if it recovers. So happy days! Keeping my fingers crossed... Submitted my RMA over the weekend. Arrived to Samsung the other day. Processed today. Notes say "Replaced PBA". Going to guess no water damage was found. That or they didn't really care and replaced the entire unit.
