We didn’t eat at any of these places but took pics as I walked by. Hope you can somewhat make them out. Sorry for quality. Menus are always appreciated. Did you happen to get any pics of Cagneys or Ocean Blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joaljoe Posted March 27, 2019 Author #32 Share Posted March 27, 2019 In Cozumel we stopped by the Mega Mart. If you have never been here, it’s kind a like a Walmart. Inside they have a little café and they offer free wifi. We did not buy any Internet on the ship and enjoyed disconnecting from the world but did take advantage of the Wi-Fi here to check in on emails. I took a few pictures of the goodies they offer… not like we needed anything with all the goodies offered on the ship . LOL But just in case you want to try local sweets, they have quite the selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaljoe Posted March 27, 2019 Author #33 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Nice refreshing salad for lunch. Tonight we went to Shanghai’s Noodle Bar for dinner. I was so happy this was complimentary. Fried Pot Stickers Vegetable Spring Rolls with Sweet Chilli Sauce Steamed Shrimp Dumplings Peking Style Shrimp and Chicken Noodles Vegetarian Fried Rice Singapore Noodles Spicy Seafood Udon Noodles - this one was mine! So good!!! This desert is a mix of melons if i remember correctly. Not sure what the white sauce was but we weren’t the biggest fan of this. We ended up at Garden Cafe for sweets 😂 Edited March 27, 2019 by Joaljoe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted March 27, 2019 #34 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Thank you for the food pictures, reminds me of our recent Breakaway cruise. We loved dining and dancing in Manhattan Dining Room. Does Getaway have the dancing in one dining room? Regarding the eating with fingers. Etiquette wise is ok to eat fried chicken with fingers. However those of us who have had noro virus avoid eating with fingers. Enough said about that, the CDC is a good source to research noro. Glad you enjoyed your food on the cruise. I just do the stair master at the gym on returning in home to burn off those extra pounds; getting them off soon is key. Again, thanks for your time doing this.

phillyf Posted March 27, 2019 #37 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Thanks for taking the time to post your great photos and for your narrative. We are on the Getaway next month and will be having three meals and will try to limit our desserts to dinner only. It's going to be tough not to snack and try those wonderful dishes.

It was in the Tropicana. The Live band only plays during certain times. I also carry a mini cross body purse with me which has hand sanitizer that we can all use. But the Washy Washy staff was really good to have as well. 😂 On 3/27/2019 at 3:59 PM, tomservo said: How was the food at the Noodle Bar? Did you need to make reservations? We really enjoyed everything besides the dessert. I would definitely go back. You do need reservations and they’re only open for dinner. We reserved through the app a day before for 5pm.

Joaljoe Posted March 29, 2019 Author #40 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Last day on the cruise. What a sad day...packing and trying to take everything in. Thankfully we had perfect weather all week. We had to go to O’Sheehan’s for our last lunch. We all tried the fajitas. I got the steak fajitas and kids got chicken. But they tore apart their plates before I could take a photo. And by now...they were sick of my iPhone. lol Seared Sea Scallops Crunchy Mediterranean Salad French Onion Soup Boston and Red Leaf Lettuce Salad Roasted Prime Rib Same dish - angle #2 lol Mozzarella and basil stuffed chicken breast Seafood Orzo - DD and I both got this. Very very good!! ‘We skipped dessert in the DR and went for our last crepes. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaljoe Posted March 29, 2019 Author #41 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Last breakfast was a feast. We were getting off at 9:30am so had plenty of time for the DR. 😃 Not many pics...sooo tired and sad. lol ‘I ordered the bagel with smoked salmon without the bagel. I was impressed with the presentation. Flipped the salmon over to my egg plate and had one perfect breakfast. And no that’s it for cruise food. Hope I made you all drool. 😂🤤😋 Edited March 29, 2019 by Joaljoe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the DR photos were darker actually, I lightened them all up. lol During the day when we were able to sit by windows it was perfect.

rwf1 Posted March 31, 2019 #45 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks so much for such a great review! I love food pics. I can never get enough of them. On the other hand, though, the food pics are bad because I am craving all this food for our cruise in June. Like you, I have recently lost weight. I want to enjoy the food, but don't want to regain a lot of weight. Sounds like it worked out really for you and your husband with only five pounds gained. Do you mind telling me if you had alcoholic drinks? I am worried the pina coladas are going to be my downfall! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We generally find we are so active on our cruises that we generally don't gain any weight, maybe 2# or so & sometimes lose weight. We don't exercise on vacation - just active... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. This will be my second cruise, so I don't have a lot of personal experience to go on. I will plan to not go too crazy with food and drink, and rely on the fact that I am a lot more active on a cruise than I am normally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s it. But we’re not big drinkers. Although, I would’ve loved having a daiquiri or pina colada everyday! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
