seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #76 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The regular soda package is alive and well. My sourdough rolls are missing from the windjammer!! Wah!! Lol :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted March 9, 2014 #77 Share Posted March 9, 2014 O M G those are the BEST kolaches ever. I haven't had them in a few years; since my son moved back home from Austin. The advantage of a ranch 8 miles from that shop... Dw's mom makes them also...they are Czech heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #79 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks Sat!! Went down to mdr and made reservations for the week....just so we have it for the nights we want. Earliest was 5:45 PM. We're old, we like to eat early. Will definitely be in the mdr tonight because it is my favorite dessert. Now lined up at the Cafe Promenade for a Sprite Zero. I see lots of Dr.Pepper onboard, but wonder if they have diet. Probably not. Smoking area is smelly (it is smoking after all), but it is confined to a small area. Not many there the two times DH went up....but we'll see how that is the rest of the time. Need to go to the casino for my credit, but I'll do that later (they left me some paperwork to fill out) Ohhhh dr.pepper is not part of soda package.

Shekim Posted March 9, 2014 #81 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) What is kolaches? It is a sweet dough stuff with...stuff. The typical kolache is like a pig in a blanket, has sausage and cheese in it. But the true kolache is stuffed with preserves and fruits and cream cheeses...many other things. I suggest google it then when you get a chance try them. Oh my...so good. Edited March 9, 2014 by Shekim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #83 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well, avoid the cafe today. 10 minutes to get a soda. He served 8 people who lined up behind me and the line was super slow due to all the specialty coffee orders. Usually that is my go to place for sprite zero, but may have to rethink that with all the new coffee packages. Heading back up to the room to veg.

internetwhiz Posted March 9, 2014 #84 Share Posted March 9, 2014 That wouldn't work for us. Part of our vacation is shutting our phones off and not turning them on again till we get off the ship a week later. We tell our bosses that there are no antennas out in the middle of the ocean. :D Erika Erika, we turn the phone off and don't use it but my iPhone 5, makes great pics and it serves as our camera 99% of the time.

mwne2nks Posted March 9, 2014 #85 Share Posted March 9, 2014 WE are on this ship in Sept for the DW's 40th birthday. We also don't drink ( not even pop) so we are planning on taking water on board. Hope the Fog lifts so you can get out on time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes for a lesser view during sail away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #89 Share Posted March 9, 2014 All the pics so far are with my phone camera (iphone5). Fog really isn't too bad as we're docked. Got the carryons unpacked and just chilling in the room. I forgot that embarkation day is so congested on the promenade....too many people :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spa girl nana Posted March 9, 2014 #91 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Recovering from a doozy of an ice storm, power back on last night and internet about an hour after the power. I'm following along, love these live reviews and will be on this cruise in April. Just wondering if the power & internet outage has caused my Cruise Critic to behave differently. I'm looking forward to the pictures. Right now they are showing small, like a postage stamp and even when I click on them, they don't enlarge very much. Usually they show up at least 1/2 screen, sometimes full screen. Any idea if there is some setting that's gotten out of whack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be facing the webcam unless she backs all the way down the channel. Maybe we can get a pic of you as you sail by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #93 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Hmmmm, re the pics, I wonder if it is because I am taking them on my phone and directly embedding them? I can try to email them to myself and post them later once I get on the wifi. I have the menus for suites...so I'll take pics of that and then try to take pics from the digital menus around the ship. Spagirl - Usually what I do is upload to photobucket and then paste the Img tags in so that the pics are huge.

seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #95 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey Austin!! You must be on the same floor :) Muster drill is in 25 minutes and then we'll see how long we stay on AT&T.

seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #97 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks clochette!! Standing around for the muster drill. Unfortunately, we got an outside station and it's still too chilly to just be in a t-shirt. I'm all bundled up! Going to head up to the Concierge Lounge after this to check it out.

seaofwonder Posted March 9, 2014 Author #100 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks!! Concierge lounge had some people there already. It is deck 9 aft, but no view and somewhat small. No food was out yet, so we're vegging for awhile. I'll make sure to compare it to the D Lounge and I'll go back when they have the am good spread out.
