Thanks. I have a couple of cashmere sweaters so I will be able to layer and will check out the shops to see if there is a special on a jacket. Have to get an email off to the hotel today. No biggie. I have tons of jackets at home. I can fake it relatively easily other than rain. -

I heard everyone raving about the prime rib in the Lido. Not on the MDR menu but we decided to go there anyways. I think our waiter is VERY new. The seafood cocktail was very good. We both had fish. Forgot about pics - until we started, sorry. Debbie had the pie for dessert and I the cheese plate. Look! 2 whole crackers. I had others and bun saved but unfortunately the waiter didn’t listen and remove my plate. -

Sail away took up most of our afternoon on embarkation day and by the time we missed to our cabin the luggage was there. We said we would leave it until tomorrow — LOL - we lied - we put it all away. Except someone forgot she hung up her jacket and cashmere sweater in the hotel room closet. 😬 That’s what happens when you are dog tired when you check in. Neither of us remembered it was there. Oh well. Reception in the Neptune Lounge and met a lovely couple or two who we enjoyed chatting with., The wine served was actually decent. Off to dinner and WTH? We were supposed to be at a table for 6 and it’s a two top, We ran into the the one couple on the way out and they were at a 4 top for and said they were supposed to be at a 6 top too & would love us to join them. We’ll see. Didn’t see them last night to discusss. -

They even had Mexican dancers. Debbie was sure the bride and groom had practiced for hours as they were so good and synchronized, it was very nice until midnight as the volume increased 😉 IMG_2681.mov -

Thanks Brian for your never ending research. I’ll keep that in mind for next year. That spinach and artichoke dip was so good though 🙂 Nope - no bubble wrap. I came home fine last time. Don’t hold a one off against me 😉. I have my walking sticks to help my foot. Work pretty good.- 118 replies

Thanks so much Gerry. Sorry, behind - couldn’t post on CC yesterday. Multi quote and quote and reply wouldn’t work. Hopefully today it is ok and I can catch up 🤞 Nice sail away - delayed only by loading so very many supplies so I guess the ship should be well stocked.- 118 replies

You are most welcome Brian 🙂. It was a pleasure chatting with you and Michele. Good company, good food, good drinks - what else could anyone ask for? For everyone else - we ate at Golden Lyon at Riverside Hotel Las Olas. We though the food was good - especially the spinach dip - delish! Regretfully I forgot about food porn and I told Debbie it was her job to say Food Porn if she didn’t see me get out my phone like Jose used to 😘- 118 replies
