elainmir Posted January 15, 2018 #176 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am enjoying the review! Love your photos! Your kids are ADORABLE. I do have to agree with you on desserts...they may look good but most of them are awful. I'll take the fruit...they can't suck the flavor out of that can they? And congrats to your Houston Astros. I'm a Cubs fan myself but once my boys were gone I was so happy yours won. I love how you guys represent your team with your shirts!!! When we travel everyone asks if we are from Chicago because we own more Cubs merchandise than the CUBS do ROFL. I have to say your photos made me miss some of my favorite " on board foods" !!!

Thanks...we are Minnesota Twins fans at heart but when they lose out have to represent the new hometown. As I write the review it makes me miss the food and makes me keep looking how many more days until the next cruise haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 15, 2018 Author #179 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The girls had the Fusili and mushroom cream sauce this was very good Since it was Thanksgiving and all we figured they should get a turkey plate as well I thought long and hard hmm turkey dinner or shrimp and filet mignon. Ya I didn't think much about it all The filet was delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 15, 2018 Author #181 Share Posted January 15, 2018 After dinner we went up to the lido deck to see if they had traditional pumpkin pie or pecan pie which they didn't but they did have some cool carvings I believe we ended up going to a comedy show which was decent then back to the room to find out towel animal and rest up for another seaday tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 15, 2018 Author #182 Share Posted January 15, 2018 We woke up a little after 7 on our last full sea day.

Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 15, 2018 Author #188 Share Posted January 15, 2018 We were now off to the Cat in the Hat Breakfast. You have to make reservations and pay $5 per person to attend this. It is well worth the money especially with kids Waiting to get seated We got to our table in which they have many decorations The oldest checking out the menu Can you tell the little one was excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 15, 2018 Author #192 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The strawberry parfait for dessert was delicious The girls each trying the green eggs Then it was time for the waiters to perform a dance in which they were all dressed up with Thing tshirts The last character to come out for pictures was Sam I am The girls got autographs from everyone which in reality was a stamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #193 Share Posted January 17, 2018 After the Cat in the Hat Breakfast we took the girls to Camp Ocean for some playtime. On the way back to our room we did a tour of Cherry on Top since the kids were not with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #194 Share Posted January 17, 2018 DW decided to rest in the room. I took a trip up to the whirlpool inside the gym area. This is very relaxing and has a hot tub and a pool that is very warm. I relaxed in there for a while but did not get any pictures, then it was back to room. DW and I decided to go to the Seaday Brunch right before it shutdown since the kids were still at Camp Ocean. We tried the popovers which many people say are amazing however we did not find them good at all I had some fried chicken mac n cheese which was pretty good I also had the Hey Pork Chop and yes it was just as good the second time...only 305 more days til I get to enjoy that again DW tried the pasta thing which she was not that big of a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #195 Share Posted January 17, 2018 She also tried the spicy diablo...it was good but very spicy We had the banana cream pie for dessert which is very good DW got the chocolate brownine thing but it was too much chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #196 Share Posted January 17, 2018 After that I went to get the girl's from Camp Ocean...they had lots to talk about as there was a magician there. We walked by the ice cutting while heading to lido buffet The chocolate extravaganza was going on so the girls had to get some stuff I tried a few things but no chocolate fountain for me Before heading back I had to check out the buffet and the last sea day they have these egg rolls that remind me of Chili's southwest egg rolls and are delicious along with some chicken tenders The girls requested to get one more dose of mac n cheese before the end of the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #197 Share Posted January 17, 2018 When we got back to the room the girls had a surprise waiting for them. The mom and daughter the oldest played yahtzee with had sent treats to the room from the candy shop We got our debarkation tags and letter as well.

Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #199 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Last dinner in the main dining room The little one started with some mango cream soup. I think she tried all the cold soups but nothing compared to her strawberry soup Here was the item the oldest had talked about all the time leading up to the cruise....frog legs I tried the steamed mussels and realized I was not a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted January 17, 2018 Author #200 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The bbq chicken flatbread is one of the better appetizers DW had some shrimp cocktail Here was the oldest trying her frog legs and that was all she had of them haha.....none of cared for them we had them on some of our cruises 5 plus years ago and they were delicious then The oldest asked for mac n cheese and they brought her a huge bowl...it was actually pretty good The youngest had some of the ravioli which was very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
