cwn Posted January 16, 2018 #101 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Crisy, I think we are batting 100% on our choices! The Gardens were stunning! Yes, the parrots were talking when we walked by. At first I thought someone was speaking to me LOL. Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted January 16, 2018 Author #102 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We are sailing to Kauai. I looked for whales but soon after we left the harbor the ship started bouncing again. I made the mistake of showering and really felt the motion. Not one to skip a meal I pulled it together and we dined in Compass Rose. Jim started with the sushi/sashimi app. He said it was excellent. I had the half of roasted chicken with cranberry relish and rice. It was deelish. I was such a good sailor I was able to order dessert. Okay the seas were much calmer. Lemon tart. The tart was okay. Jim got Hazelnut soufflé with whipped cream instead of nutmeg sauce. He liked it but not as much as the previous ones.

Rare crusin7 Posted January 16, 2018 Author #103 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Jim's entree was Duck A La Orange. Which he loved These blue lights are really getting to me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted January 16, 2018 Author #104 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I know some of you might be interested in what the Butler brings for apps. Today cheese & crackers. See they are not blue! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ededmd Posted January 16, 2018 #105 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Enjoying your trip reporting including photos - blue or otherwise. If you're using an iPad / iPhone, applying the "Transfer" filter is a one step fix to take some of that blue out. Cheers!

ededmd Posted January 16, 2018 #106 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I was wondering about your thoughts on the blue lights in general in Compass Rose. Besides the obvious photo challenges - do you find it affects your perception of the food? P.s. there are other ways to really "perfect" your blue pics after the fact but was trying to share a 1 step improvement (lest the photogs among us come after me). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjkov Posted January 16, 2018 #107 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Great photos and commentary. Thanks for taking the time to share! It is an itinerary we’d like to enjoy some day. Is there a best/better winter month for calmer Pacific seas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjkov Posted January 16, 2018 #108 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I should clarify I mean specifically the particular segment between US West Coast and Hawaii. I’m not sure a world cruise will ever be on our radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted January 17, 2018 Author #113 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Today was the Wailua River Cruise and Fern Grotto. It was a good excursion. We had a very good guide.

Silver Sweethearts Posted January 17, 2018 #115 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Aloha Crisy: As long as you are showing beautiful pictures, do you happen to have any of your Suite? We have reservations for a GS on deck 8, but wonder if your MS on 10 (please correct us if we have that wrong) would be worth pursuing? It looks (understatement) quite nice. Is your forward deck big enough to host a small table and two chairs for casual dining out there? Mahalo - and warmest Aloha as you visit Maui tomorrow.

Rare crusin7 Posted January 17, 2018 Author #116 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Aloha Silver Sweetheart. Yes we are on deck 10. It's a wonderful suite. We were also in a GS on 8 about 4 years ago. If it's a huge $$$ difference I would go with GS. If small $$ difference get Master Nice table on front deck Side deck Living room Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted January 17, 2018 #119 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Have a question about your suite. We were in your suite 5 years ago (the last time we were on the Navigator) and heard "heavy walking" sounds all night. It took a couple of days to figure out that it was coming from the Bridge where officers walk back and forth 24/7. Hopefully this has been remedied with carpeting or something on the bridge. Have you heard any noise from above you? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted January 17, 2018 Author #120 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Once in awhile you hear footsteps but nothing to bother you. I'm a very light sleeper and had no problems at all. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted January 17, 2018 Author #123 Share Posted January 17, 2018 We had dinner in Sette Mari. Service was excellent. I started with spaghetti carbonara OMG deelish! Main course for us both was veal Milanese. Holy smokes! The portion is Flintstone size. We had Superb service with Muriel!

Rare RachelG Posted January 17, 2018 #124 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Do keep your eyes out from whales when you are sailing in/out of Maui. We were there last week and saw more whales that I have ever seen in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted January 17, 2018 Author #125 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi Rachel.. I went outside on our deck at 0615. I didn't see anything except my head almost blowing off in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
