I would have done Grüner Veltliner, but there is none by the glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Champagne never showed up, so we had to reorder it. I hope you finally got it and enjoyed it. Haven't had any Nicolas Feuillatte in some time, but I recall enjoying it when I did. Very much enjoying your review and photos (love the beach in Bonaire!); thanks again for taking the time to take us along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted December 21, 2018 Author #353 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Time to ask another favor. This one is probably in the @Copper10-8wheelhouse. Is this Dutch navy or coast guard? Or is is it a yacht owner who really values connectivity? (I'm guessing patrol looking for Venezuelans. There are two. One's further out, but looks to have the same profile.)

Rare POA1 Posted December 21, 2018 Author #358 Share Posted December 21, 2018 . Wattaburger is no more. Our cabbie on the way back from the resort said that they tore it down and were building it it bigger. There are block walls but no doors or windows. I'll be honest. Michelle was not all broken up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientWanderer Posted December 21, 2018 #359 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Looks like a great cruise! Thanks for posting the pic of the "everyday" chicken. I've ordered the salmon many times, and always wondered about the chicken preparation. It actually looks quite good for those days when something simpler is needed. That can happen on a long cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'tre still looking for something, right "behind" your ship is Karel's Beach Bar on a dock which has nice seating on the water, a bar and food offerings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the everyday chicken. It's the Chef Rudi chicken. I think the everyday chicken is just a breast. If my brother in law were here, he'd be have ordered it by now.

Also, it has the MDR dinner menu, but no Lido or other MDR meal menus. Hmm... Navigator only had the MDR menu on our cruise too. To see the menu for the Lido/ Canaletto, you had to go there. and since they are under glass, they don't photograph well (Or I am not good at photographing under glass objects 😉 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that it was one of his favorite places and can't wait for it to reopen. He offered to take us to another place, but someone - not naming names - wanted to come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted December 21, 2018 Author #368 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Another observation: Other than Chef Rudi's Weinerschnitzel and roast chicken, there have been zero Culinary Council dishes on the dinner menu.

With the right accessories (tinted Ray-bans, match stick between your lips, and a bandolier), you might've pulled off a stone-cold Stallone impression. Might've.
