ellcee 1,507 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Looking forward to your review. As I posted on another thread, Barbados was a favorite! Adventure '16 had the same itinerary except swapped Antigua for St Croix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I all checked in to my flight, bags just about packed (minus another load of laundry and some cosmetics to pack), and I am READY to go! I have a very important question for you all though - I keep debating... What should my first drink on board be?!?!?! I keep thinking Patron & Pineapple juice or Patron & Soda... and then start thinking something more tropical with Kracken. Or maybe just a good old glass of champagne. Give me your ideas! (Note: I don't like lava flows/daiquiris - unpopular opinion, I know!) A glass of champagne is always a good way to start a vacation! Then switch to the patron and pineapple.. yum, that sounds good! iluvwineandtravel, accio7, LetsTryThisPlace and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 10,960 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I don't think you're a card carrying member of #TeamLavaFlow, so as a result, my recommendation is a margarita! accio7, RestingBird and betatke1480 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I second this! If you don’t mind spending a couple extra dollars for the upgrade, have them make it with a reposado tequila. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
accio7 466 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Have a safe flight tomorrow, Kayla! I hope you and hubby have a terrific time on your cruise, looking forward to your live blog :D Don't forget to take lots of photos for us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbk999 197 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Looking forward to the review and I'm particularly interested in the St Marten tour as I'm looking at that as well for our October trip (and the current condition of the island). We did a promenade view room on the Freedom and thought it was great. First drink? Me: poolside margarita Wife: something frozen poured directly into the carved out pineapple Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Note: I don't like lava flows/daiquiris - unpopular opinion, I know!) Oh man, my goto for the first cruise drink is definitely something rummy. I'd go with either a Mai Tai, Pain Killer or a Pina Colada made with Meyers Dark rum - yummm. Or just all three in rapid succession at the Schooner Bar! Ooo or a nice dark and stormy with Kraken rather than the Goslings (sacrilege, I know). If you can't tell, Royal loses lots of money on the deluxe drink package with me :P Geez, come on October!!

mpoole3 115 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 KLA I would recommend a Stella to start the cruise, I know that's always my first drink on board! accio7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KLA 1,813 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Checking in from San Juan!!! Currently sitting in Vaca Brava sipping a mojito. Initial thoughts: Old San Juan is beautiful and walkable the air BnB we picked is worth every penny. If you are spending at least two nights in San Juan pre cruise, I would gladly recommend it. Shoot me a message. Am happy. Suzanne, Skigoofy and accio7 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, it’s obvious which is which, but what exactly is mofongo? I recognize the plantain in that picture, and the yellowish stuff at the front looks like chopped and maybe fried plantains? But what’s that in the middle of it with what looks like pickle slices and celery on top? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Garnished with a fried plantain, and the shrimp in the center of the mashed plantain was sautéed with cabbage JLMoran 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
