Somewhat live on the Pacific Princess 50th Anniversary Cruise

[IECalCruiser]

DW is a coffee drinker and she thought the coffee from syrup was pretty good. She usually uses a coffee card for fresh brewed coffee but didn't need it on this cruise. On the galley tour I saw a couple of Nescafé Alegria V-Cafe machines so at least on the Pacific the Princess coffee must be made from Nescafé concentrate.

I love Nescafe much better than Starbucks! ;)

I also found the coffee okay. Used my coffee card when convenient but mostly for Capuchinos or frozen Mochas. At dinner and at the buffet, the syrup coffee was fine.

Loved those frozen Mochas. Irving the bartender made the best ones.

We asked Irving how he got his name, after all Irving is really not a Mexican sounding name. He said his Mom liked the name. My husband spoke Spanish to him and he really was surprised. My husband's College learned Spanish was pretty good.

Near the beginning of this thread, someone mentioned there was a Q & A with the Love Boat celebrities, and it was interesting to hear about the twists and turns their lives took. I would love to know about some of those twists and turns. Can anyone that was at the Q & A tell us a little about that? I hope it was all good!

Did you meet Raymel, the bartender from the Philippines? That's a different name too, and I could never remember it until he told me it's from his father's name, Raymond, and his mother, Melia. After that I never forgot it.

Yes, Raymel was in the Pacific Lounge. We had him several times. Thought he was very friendly and helpful.

Can anyone confirm if the Love Boat crew members were playing trivia regularly? Although I was there, I really wasn't paying attention to that sort of thing, except seeing Ted Lange come in once with his tablet, but I thought he sat in one of those two-seat tables by the window and wasn't playing.

I can confirm he did not want to join in when asked, preferring to spend time with his coloring book and crayons.

They played trivia with each other. We sat very near them in the Sterling Steakhouse on the second night and they were playing trivia with each other.

Hope everybody has had a Merry Xmas and is planning a great New years ever celebration. I know that I am going to REST since I fell off my grandson's hoverboard! I learned how to ride it inside clutching onto the walls of the kitchen, then when I thought I could I got on it outside--I was showing off and wanted my grandson Drew to think his grandma was a cool chick, so much for that! I'm done with showing off, LOL!

Thank you for the review. I wish I had booked this cruise!
