I always thought it would have been cool to incorporate the balcony into the cabins they added. I bet they could have gotten a decent premium

[perfect match]

Loved the pictures of the Dreamworks parade. I wlll definitely have to make a point to see it. I also pocked out a couple of spots I liked in the Solarium and on the pool deck from your pictures that I want to go hang out at.

We don't care about no stinking signs. I like the crew stairs at the aft end of the Freedom. Strait into WJ. :D:D

 

And I have been know to cut through the crew area on deck 2 of the Voyager class ships to get from the forward to aft sections of that deck.:)

I would never dream of doing that! ;);)

Oh, I don't do it in dreams either.;):D

LoL, May 7, very soon. It is mom's birthday/mothers day gift.

 

Drat - still teaching school.... but excited for yet another review to come!

[gambee]

I guess we kept on walking towards Vintages.

 

 

 

The Trellis Bar was quite active!

 

 

I just love Central Park!

 

 

I think the main Art differences between Lady O and Lady A, are the metal Vs Glass Art in each.

 

 

How amazing is that area? That is the area where I ate a roast beef on the Allure =)

I went in and to my amazement, the menu was nearly identical to one 3 years ago that I loved so much. I was puzzled by this, since several people had reported that their menu had shrank to only a few items. I am not sure what happened, but I was quite happy about it. The server also told me that I could reserve a specific table if I bought a bottle of wine. I knew for a fact that the restaurant would not be busy that night, since it was formal night. So I thanked him for his time and moved on.

And back to the solarium we went, we really love that place. It is just so peaceful in there. We sad some nice spots near the pool. By the way, that pool was quite cold, but it worked well to cool you down after cooking yourself in the jacuzzis, LoL.

 

 

 

At one point 2 young girls come storming in and yelling, one with an arm cast on (I have no idea how her parents dry that thing off at night, it must smell wonderful. I had my share of casts in the past). The next thing you know they go into the pool and start yelling “Hi mom”, but wait, the lady actually pushed herself away from the girls. She was not her mom, then they tried the same trick with the lady next to her, and she just laughed. They stayed there for a few minutes when a pool bartender came over and told them they could not be there. But the girls would not have, they were fierce, daring him and such. He finally managed to get them out of the pool, and then they went running to the people on the lounger playing the same “Hi mom” trick. A few people were quite irritated. I thought it was quite funny! Although I could not get over how nasty that cast would be smelling by cruise end. Not to mention skin irritations and such.

 

Here he is talking to them in the pool.

 

 

And here he is trying to escort them out.

 

 

For some reason I though the solarium was 18 and older.

 

 

[gambee]

 

I got some more baby corn to snack on, and an orange for my mom.

 

 

 

We then went into the Jacuzzi for some time, and then found some loungers near the glass. Those are our favorites. Although my view had a huge box in front!

After that we headed back to the room to get changed for dinner and relax a little.

 

On our way to the room.

 

Live music. I love reggae!!!

 

 

Everyone was enjoying the gorgeous weather =)

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

Back in the room. On our way to Labadee.

 

 

What a view!

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

We just talked and relaxed, I really enjoy balconies. It its your time away from the world. Well, that and our smoking neighbors. At the time it had not become too overwhelming.

 

 

 

 

We waited for the sunset, before heading out for dinner.

 

 

Are you guys seeing this?!?! I mean, are you really seeing this? Just AMAZING!!!!

 

 

[gambee]

 

We talked about several things, including the SS United States. Hopefully she is able to sail again.

 

 

 

 

And there it goes... What an amazing time we had that night, I am just grateful of all those little moments.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

We got changed and headed out to vintages.

 

 

A nice lady got this picture for us. My camera is very user friendly, I just set it up and magic happens.

 

Love this pic!!! I got her that diamond cross many years ago, so happy that she still uses it on a daily basis.

 

 

Rising tides bar.

 

 

 

Such happy memories, what a lovely family =)

 

 

Remember, it was formal night.

 

 

 

[brady.bunch]

LOL those girls just weren't having it.

 

Question though. We have 2 teens 1 Preteen. If we are in Solarium and they are off in teen areas and decided to pop over and see us to check-in. Can they come in - check in, say HI MOM I'm OKAY and then head back out.. is that okay? Imagining DS15 might want to come say "hey I'm going to go flowride, come watch me" then head back out. Going no cells for the week, we need to go old school and actually TALK to eachother

They have a really nice setup for Giovannies outside, I don’t remember seeing this on the Allure of the seas. They also had live classical music as well. It was very enjoyable.

 

 

But wait, what makes it the most romantic is the guy in the bathing suit walking right through it. I actually saw that quite often, the irony of it all is that I saw myself being one of those people. You all know me, the least amount of clothes that I can have on, the happier I am :D

 

Oh my, that came out wrong. Oh well, life is short. Enjoy the hell out of it. No shame in joy!

 

 

That mess said... How cute is that setup?

 

 

Another happy family =)

When our daughter was underage, she passed through and we've chatted briefly. Never had a problem. On some ships there are food venues in the Solarium and they are welcome there...

We got to Vintages, and were lucky to get the same corner table that we had on the Allure. I love this restaurant, I really don’t know why it is not more popular. The few people that we saw there were usually there for the wine.

 

Here is their wine list

 

 

 

Anyone for a bottle of Penfolds, Shiraz? If so, please let me know, because I would love to be your travel partner :D

 

 

How lovely is this place? WHY IS NOT PACKED?!?!?! Well, never mind, it is horrible! I much rather have it for myself =)

 

 

 

I really wanted a bottle of Nobilo, but $55 is just too much for that wine. RCCL is really pushing it. Then again, I think most cruise lines are doing it as well.

 

The wine was actually quite nice, I was very pleased.

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

We ordered the same thing that we ordered on the Allure, The Velasquez combo plus a paella for mom.

 

Mom's paella.

 

 

Some fancy meats,

 

 

Chorizo and scallops,

 

 

Crab cakes

 

 

[gambee]

 

More fancy cold cuts

 

 

Octopus salad

 

 

 

This one is really good.

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

Everything was great, well, most everything. I don’t like the gazpacho. I keep thinking it is a bloody Mary on a martini glass :D

 

 

[gambee]

 

It was just a little too much food for both of us. We did our best though.

 

 

Mom doing what comes natural to her :D

 

 

By the way switching the internet from one device to another, is super easy. You simply login to another device, and it boots out the device that was logged in. Very efficient.

 

We had a choice of a dessert, I just asked him to bring us his favorite one. OMG he brought us some kind cheesecake. This is coming from someone who HATES cheesecakes, THIS DESSERT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! A MUST! I think it is possibly one of the best desserts I've ever had!

 

 

This time around everything was in one check, and they did charge the gratuity over the entire amount. I wonder what happened at Sabor???

 

All that food for $23? Tell me where in the O/A sisters you can do that? Well, maybe Sabor, Shut Up! LoL. But Vintages is so much better!

 

 

 

Service was really good as well, better than the one on the Allure. He was very nice and personable.

After vintages we walked by central park, and sat down a little while to enjoy the classical music.

 

 

 

It was much busier then.
