Was sad to see this go. It was an at sea day treat for this British expat. At least they seem to be giving up with the pay-for gastro-pub experiment and replacing it with an Irish pub (so I've read) on the Enchanted.

Back in January of this year, they were offering a free t-shirt if you managed to drink the menu and show them all your recipe cards. They were giving out pretty nice recipe cards that included a short blurb on the history of the region the drink represented. It was a pretty fun location on what was a fairly empty ship back in January. If they still have this and you're going to attempt it, make sure you check what size t-shirts they have aboard. All they had left when we did it was size S shirts.

Bemidji - Curious to know if you tried any of the specialty restaurants during your 7 nights and how you found the food there if you did. We cruised with Princess in late January of this year and encountered several disappointing things when compared with numerous previous Princess cruises we had been on. It left a similar bitter taste regarding the brand, but we mostly put it down to staffing shortages and supply chain issues due to covid as they tried to recommission the fleet. Sounds like a couple of those things may still be persisting. We'll get to find out for ourselves as we are on the Discovery later this year!
