And your food pics are amazing!

I cut the magnet on the Cricut.  I used the magnetic AC vent covers from Home Depot.

@J_Keeble, among the restaurants you’re interested in, I think only Izumi is operating on Serenade.

Rita's never opened once during my 12 night repo.  There is no Doghouse or Samba's Grill.   But there is a Park Cafe with Kummelweck sandwiches daily.

Does anyone have access to the Compass for this 11 night Southern Caribbean cruise on Serenade of the Seas?  We have it scheduled for 4 March 2019.  Thank y'all very much, we are new to this blog site.

You’re fine, just keep the questions coming.  I’m cruising solo so I have lots a time on my hand to do some “recon” mission.  Let me know what other things you want me to explore.

I haven’t seen a Samba on this ship.
