Sea Dog

And if I’m naked I can give a free show.

what’s nice is that our cabin is right there by the library too.

Diamond lounge is not renamed. Pre breakfast Espresso and a bagel and lox before breakfast in the MDR

Linda (my lawyer and attack dog) went and had a good conversation with the head of dining. She was promised that they will take care of us. I guess we will see tonight. Good advice I’ll try that.

I can do that as I spend a lot of time there.😉

Yes I think I will be spending a lot of time in the library. Sorry we missed each other yesterday. We will be out and about around the ship then try to find the KC Chiefs game on at 3:30pm.

Found the key to faster uploads. Upload from the library on deck 7. Fast uploads at 5am in the morning. That last 8 minute video took less than 10 minutes. Here are the speeds.

Here is the full embarkation and sail away video from day one. Please like and subscribe to my channel so that I can continue to make great videos for everyone. Thank you so much. Your support means everything to me.

Sorry it took all night to upload. So I am up at 5am out in the library just off our cabin on deck 7 and it finished uploading and processing in about 5 minutes. Need to hang out here for my videos to upload. Here are the day one highlights. Enjoy!

Actually about 6:30pm would be ideal. Gives you an hour and a half for happy hour.

Next on the menu. Sea & T Sorry I can’t get into gin yet. Not my cup of tea.

Next up: Rum Old Fashioned with Bacardi 8 year Very nice and sweet.

Schooner Bar and making my way through the menu. Tropical Sidecar. Sugar on rim nice touch.

Dark Chocolate Custard (sugar free) was really good. I wasn’t sure that I would like it but I did. Not a good experience tonight. I hope things improve.

MDR Part Deux So after my starter crab cake came out a hour later I got my other appetizer that ordered escargot. It promptly came after I finished the crab cake which was good. Nice addition was a soft bread stick for dipping in that wonderful garlic butter. Prime rib was just ok. Warm not hot. No offer to get new drinks as I drank all of my cocktail and Linda finished her wine. It’s seems like they are disorganized and under staffed. Maybe it’s a bad omen when your waiter and assistant waiter have the same name, #N/A???

Night One in the MDR Ok a little rant here. I don’t understand why you talk to a manager to have nightly reservations with the same table and wait staff with concerns about standing in line with bad knees and wanting a table not out in open because I am hard of hearing and told no problem to then have to wait in line, sat in a very noisy section and a wait staff that seemed discombobulated. After dinner we talk with the dining room manager to see if they can correct it. Prime Rib night tonight. Old Fashioned with makers Mark to start Crab Cake served almost an hour after we sat down. To be continued……..

Sorry OB I don’t know the answer to that question as we are still new to the whole Diamond thing. I’ll pay closer attention tomorrow when we go.

Note: no picture of my official sail away Kraken Colada because the Sky Bar ran out of Colada mix. How in the heck does that happen? Ended up with a Kraken Mango which was good but sorry no picture. I’ll try again tomorrow on our sea day.

There was a sign outside the Blue Moon that said @private function”. I assume it was over flow seating for the Diamond lounge.

A little small but I like being on the hump.

I forgot to look if they changed the sign but I think it is still referred to as the Diamond lounge.

My view! First time in a proper Crown Lounge. So glad we didn’t get the dreaded Diamonds not allowed letter. Great apps in a great space. I could really get used to this. Cheers.

I wish you were too. I want to cruise with you!

Now this is true intoxication!!!

How did you like it? Linda got it and didn’t care for it so much. I think it was the Campari which is kind of bitter.
