Last time was when Carnival Dream just came out. I'm a legacy platinum with 10 total sailings. Carnivalblog.com? I've got 10 CCL sailings in my past but am 3 cruises shy of platinum. I say go for it, it would be interesting to see your conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Morning folks! After dinner and doing the Windjammer Recon last night I headed back to the room and lack of better works crashed. Next thing I knew it was 8 am. Dinner was in Coastal Kitchen, @WAAAYTOOO still using the filet night menu for the first night. Today's Chef's Special was a Mongolian Live Station. Also noticed something I don't recall seeing on any other ship at dinner, steak and eggs. Not sure what kind of theme was going on. The station also had chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, and ciabatta style pizza. Headed to the back to check out the dessert bar. Also had a designated gluten free dessert bar as well (sorry no pictures of that). Also saw a crepe station with donuts and waffles on the other side. Was told the crepes were an every night offering. JLMoran, accio7, twangster and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Just a quick share of a sampling of the my devices charging means. After my Anthem incident I had to find a new multi tap that didn't look dead obvious. To also increase my chances I now pack two, one in my checked bag and the other in my camera bag. The cord in the just above and to the left of the multi tap is handy to use with the USB charger just to the right of the multi tap. The device (bottom in the middle) with the yellow tape on it is the travel router that I use. *Note: This post was in no way shape or form sponsored by Anker.

CGTLH Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 So far today nothing exciting. This morning went to to the Top Tier party. Point counts are as followed: Gold: 1678 Platinum: 431 Emerald: 188 Diamond: 320 Diamond Plus: 108 Pinnacle: 19 Top Pinnacle: 1189 points Ventured around some, stopped by the casino. Found out that Choice must be a new name for the Select tier. Finally wound up at the Trellis Bar. I've always felt some of the bars have different things. This time what caught my eye was the "Hop Flavored Whiskey", think that was the first time I've ever seen that. Then just to round things off, I had to take pictures of everything else on the back wall.

CGTLH Posted May 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Posting a Windjammer recon so everyone have something to drool over Monday morning. Theme for the night was "Mixed Grill", where you picked your protein and the grilled it up fresh. Also happened to notice a custom Ceaser Salad station. Doesn't look like romaine to me, can't blame Royal for playing it safe. Snagged a shot of the Gluten Free station The mirror of the mixed grill station on the other side was once again crepes, donuts, and waffles. Also took a picture of the dessert bar, with one special close-up. Will go on record, didn't try the Red Velvet Other side notes: Had the fried eggs, ciabatta pizza, chicken nuggets, plus mac and cheese. This time around no steak (could get one cooked up at the mixed grill), onion rings instead. I've also not noticed any themes so far. Only other activity of the day was a Pub Crawl, stops were Solarium Bar, Trellis Bar, Pub, and ended at Sabor. Dinner tonight was in Coastal Kitchen, also the first Formal Night. Almost forgot about my new creation, the Reverse Lavaflow. JLMoran, Lovetocruise2002, Deedeelynn and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweety Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Woohoo red velvet cake!!! I am drooling. I could eat about three. Ok maybe a fourth piece with ice cream. And a side of onion rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted May 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Been spending waaaytooo much time at Sabor Bar so far this cruise, should have supported RCB and purchased the shirt. Think the only ones I haven't done yet are the flights and Sweet and Spicy. They also have the Mezcal selection that isn't on the shirt. cruiselife, ellcee, JLMoran and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
