Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #551 Share Posted April 6, 2018 So, going for the salmon plate sans bagel today. Got to keep up the dining opportunities. Considering Chops lunch early and 150 CP late. Anyone done Chops lunch?? Can't decide between favorites. So, both??

Milwaukee Eight Posted April 6, 2018 #552 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Try the Galley Brunch Tour. We do it every cruise and have it booked for next Friday as well on HOTS. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #553 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I have to make a short installment to the chankanaab review. I missed two important features. The laguna and the food! We didn't do the all inclusive option. We'd done all inclusive at Mr Sanchos last summer and thought it was a waste. With drink packages and heavy meals on the ship, we didn't indulge much. So, we chose the ala carte option. Good call. We had nachos for the girls (been and cheese with fresh made pico and guac) and an order of homemade guacamole for the DH and me. We added two frozen drinks, two beers and large bottle of water and the price was $33USD. The portions were large easily feeding the four of us. Here are the nachos. The girls loved them!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I second the Galley Brunch Tour recommendation. We did it a couple of years ago and it was well worth the ~$30.

Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #555 Share Posted April 6, 2018 There is this magical body of water just inland from the ocean called the chankanaab laguna. It's like an aquarium! We felt like we got to snorkel without getting wet. We spent quite a bit of time just looking into this aqua blue water and enjoying the tropical fish. It's not to be missed. I'm sorry this pic doesn't do it justice. It's stunning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #557 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've told everyone in my group sailing next week we have to make the Quest. When I try to explain it I just laugh and say you just have to go. Enjoy your last day. So sad for you to have it come to an end. It's a bit like 1887. Couldn't explain that either! But it was awesome! Enjoy!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #558 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Here's another HOTS hint. If you think you might want Chops for lunch purchase it in advance. It was regularly $17.90 on the planner pre-cruise. $26 today. If they'd just extend the cruise a day or two so we could repeat our favorite restaurants... maybe if I ask really, really nice?

Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #560 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I have to share a positive elevator story. Yep, you read that right. First, is it just me or is elevator etiquette disappearing? This young girl, maybe 10 or 11 with what appeared to be her younger sister stepped forward then back when the elevator door opened. She held out her arm in front of her little sister and said "we need to let these nice people off first ". Yep, brought a small tear to my eye! I thanked her and asked her to please go tell her mother what she'd done and to thank her mother for raising a young lady wish such precious manners! She beamed ear to ear. Made my day!

Rare L1211 Posted April 6, 2018 Author #564 Share Posted April 6, 2018 This was rescheduled for 10pm tonight for those of us who had it on night 1 canceled due to high seas. Then rescheduled for night 4 and canceled due to technical difficulties with the water. I'm expecting a locus outbreak.
