Great review Walter and sounds like you had a fantastic cruise. One question for you. When you ordered a drink at the Silk Den, do you remember what kind of sushi they served with it?

[CruisingWalter]

Thanks for the kind words!

 

It was all seafood sushi and the fried wrap was pork so my vegetarian wife could not enjoy. It was VERY good as was all the sushi onboard that we tried.

Sounds delicious! Now just need to figure out which night to book Tamarind...

Thank you for the scouting report. I was on the ship the week before you. I had a wonderful cruise.

Thanks again Walter, I really enjoyed it "live" and it was great to get a refresher of your trip. I'm glad you made it safely home and with nothing but the best for you and your wife.

We will definitely book at least two nights the next time we're on this ship or another one that has Tamarind. From the other reviews I'm reading here on CC, sounds like they are consistently good.

Yes, we were following along with your reports, they were quite helpful for us. Have an awesome day!

I think to honestly have a "bad time" on a ship, you really need to work hard at it. Unless things go horribly wrong, as long as you go with the flow, you're still going to have a good time so long as you're traveling with someone you enjoy.

 

I call these "annoyances" and at the end of the day, we really did love the ship. Now we know what to take advantage of the next time and what to avoid. Glad this was helpful!

No, we found it our local Target, but I have seen a few more power strip / power adapters showing up with USB ports on them in electronic and department stores lately.
