Rare island lady Posted November 19, 2015 #351 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Hi Jim Enjoying the review. Can you tell me if you use the DL in the evenings? And if you do, do they allow shorts for guys? I am bringing jeans, But I like my shorts and polo shirts. Thanks Mike When we first became Diamond and were about to check out the DL for the first time during the posted cocktail hour, we were turned away at the lounge entrance for wearing shorts. Now, however, it seems anything goes...every where on the ships. Though ever since then we would never consider wearing shorts into the lounge or at dinner in the specialty restaurants or MDR, even with the slacking up of rules. Just would not feel comfortable. But that is just us. Most simply wear what they feel comfortable in. Edited November 19, 2015 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 19, 2015 #352 Share Posted November 19, 2015 No shorts allowed during cocktail hour. Hey you two!! :) Miss you guys, and still remember the good times we had the last few cruises with you! We will be on this same cruise itinerary in February on Serenade. Have a fantabulous time!

Trainman-2 Posted November 19, 2015 Author #353 Share Posted November 19, 2015 - Overall, the food was not hot! - The bread was room temperature and the butter was ice cold and hard as a rock. - Twice now we have asked for our asparagus to be fully cooked and it still came out crunchy. - Judith ordered the chicken and it was just barely warm. The topping was cold! - The Peppered Bacon Appetizer was fantastic! A 3/4" thick slab of bacon cooked just right! - The Baked Potato was Gigantic and we split one. It was fully cooked but just barely warm and the chunks of butter (which were ice cold) didn't melt. I'm curious....did you bring this their attention? I have always had a good experience at Chops, and would be very disappointed if the food comes out like this? We are on the Serenade right after you and are looking forward to a couple of meals there.... NO we did not complain primarily because after the waiter dripped off the food he disappeared! We are going to try again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pscruzinboyz Posted November 19, 2015 #358 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) No shorts allowed during cocktail hour. Thanks, I will make sure we have long pants packed. I sure hope they serve some good drinks...We were on the Navigator OTS in May and the drink for the week was a Chocolate Martini....Oh How I hope for those next week.

gypsygal08 Posted November 19, 2015 #359 Share Posted November 19, 2015 All those pretty green islands, blue waters and colorful buildings make us want to pull up stakes and kiss these states goodbye and move there! What a life waking up to those gorgeous views everyday! We're guessing you were at the kiddy pool around 6 am, not a tot in sight! lol. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tahoemc Posted November 19, 2015 #361 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi Jim, thanks for the continuing reports, I'm really enjoying them, as are so many others. So surprised your having issues in Chops. Our recent experiences in Chops on Serenade were very good. Hope it improves. Hello to fellow 2011 Liberty TA "LOSTies" Peter & Mike, glad to see y'all still out there. Enjoy your upcoming Serenade cruises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted November 19, 2015 Author #363 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Last night I had a small case of the sniffles. This morning when I got up it was gone but by 8 am it was back. We decided to stay on board today and take it easy. I am afraid that the sniffles may turn into a head cold so we cancelled out diner at Chops tonight and are continuing to take it easy. There is nothing worse than getting sick on a cruise ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbylook Posted November 19, 2015 #364 Share Posted November 19, 2015 There is nothing worse than getting sick on a cruise ship! Been there, done that! Take it one day at a time. When you think you've washed your hands enough, so much that you swear you've washed your skin off, wash em' again! Feel better! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting sail for fun Posted November 19, 2015 #366 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Hope you feel better soon. DH and I just got our flu shot in preparation for our upcoming cruise. Last year we sailed on Vision of the Seas, in November, for the repositioning to Tampa. At the end I was very sick with the flu! Luckily it was at the end. If you get back to Chops - I enjoyed the Fried Goat Cheese Salad and the huge Shrimp Cocktail as appetizers and the Huckleberry Cheesecake for dessert. Looking forward to trying it again on Indy! Enjoying your reports. Edited November 19, 2015 by Setting sail for fun Wrong spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a bartender named Freddy - he makes a mean chocolate martini. He was working in the theater on the repo but also helped out in the DL/CL over flow area.

Aboat1 Posted November 20, 2015 #369 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hey, take care of yourself! I still remember being so sick last Thanksgiving. It was not fun. Is Judith OK? Enjoy your cruise as much as you can. Feel better......fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author #370 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Sorry Everyone but today was a take it easy day. We didn't leave the ship and I didn't take any more photos that I haven't posted yet. We canceled Chops tonight. The only good news is we booked an 11 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise on the Serenade sailing 12 December 2016 We got some pills from the shops when they opened tonight and they are already helping with my sinuses.

Trainman-2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author #372 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I shot this photo of a print that I like that is on an easel for the art auction. The color didn't come out quite right but I thought the painter did a great job with it. When Judith and I got Married and combined our art collections we ended up with more pieces than we have places to hang. So just because I like it doesn't mean that I am going to buy it.
