They are good and the fresh roasted candied nuts are amazing. Those are always a must have for us.

Only 646 days until I am booked to enjoy this view. Looks like a beautiful day.

Hopping on board as I count down my long wait to Encore in August. My last NCL cruise was on the Pearl in March 2020 when the Captain came on as we left Cozumel to tell us all ships have been instructed to return to their home port. Here's to a great short cruise!!

We did Hayhu before the pandemic shutdown and it was amazing. Absolutely the best food we had on the trip. We had the upstairs area and loved it.

From the looks of the Chopsticks food I am wishing it was on more ships.

Is that the lobster tagliatelle? It looks amazing.

Thanks for the great review. After seeing the different drinks, street eats, and remembering how good Emeril's is I need to get a Jubilee cruise re-booked to replace the one that was cancelled.

All of your street eats items this week have looked great.

Those sweet potatoe fries on Mardi Gras were wonderful.

We stayed at the Hilton Home2 Suites in Webster before our Allure cruise in May and were very happy. They also had a good free breakfast. I think it was $125ish.

Following along because I was suppose to be on Jubilee the week before Christmas. I drug my feet too long on rebooking anything so my 25% went unused. However, I do still want to get a Jubilee cruise in because I do like the XL class. Galveston is drivable, and I need Emeril's and a few Watermelon Crushes.

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us. It has been a great week!!

Watermelon Crush was my go to drink on Mardi Gras. But now I am wondering how it'd be with mezcal.

I had something similiar happen at the Plaza bar on the Vista. One person's coffee was being made...no one in line...so I sat down at the bar. The helpful...service oriented employee then told me that they were only taking orders from the right end of the bar. So I got up and formed a line. The Bar820 employee could have quickly mentioned that when Sid sat down. Situation handled.

I need a drink because that looks like a penguin carrying a man's head.

Well I guess it has been too long since my last Carnival cruise because I should have known that.

I am guessing bag drop in cabin....muster...and Alchemy to get to know some bartenders.

Great pictures. I hope everyone hopping on today has a great cruise. I cannot wait to see how the week unfolds via the 3 lives going on. And then for the post cruise recap. Toasting you all with my spiked coffee...Cheers!

Happy Cruise day!! I am loving having 3 lives to follow...this is going to be a great week.

Happy Cruise Day!! I am so jealous and there is the extra sting of it being a balmy 11 degrees here in Texas. I am having a spiked coffee, listening to the water dripping in the sinks (hoping to avoid frozen pipes) and ready to stay up to date with all 3 lives!! Enjoy!!

Entitled much?? Who in the world thinks that is ok?

Those breakfast tacos look great so I was thinking since I am not cruising maybe I should get those for breakfast tomorrow. Sad to report that I don't see them on the close to me Cantina Laredo menu.

I did the pasta class on Mardi Gras with my son and we both loved it. I came home and bought a manual pasta roller and we still use the recipe and make the noodles and sauce when he is home from college.

Wait...no made to order omelette stations anymore? That is a big change.

I was there about a year ago and the struggle was real. Lol. Thankfully my sons helped me stay on my feet. I love the water there but that climb out is tough.
