John&LaLa Live B2B from Symphony 10/26 and 11/2, Great Expectations 🎂

[crusinthrough]

Is this shrimp appetizer on the menu in CK?  It's not on the Allure or Harmony only the Oasis, which is disappointing.

 Many of the items I have bought from them are new and still have the tags on them but are 40-50% off retail.

Could be used items from the estate of Minnie Pearl.

It does.

We have been to Florida many times and the cheap petrol is great.

Our tax man takes 70% tax on petrol.

 

Perhaps for your birthday, we should all send you a gallon of gas.

We have a honey comb this morning up on 17. 

Pretty cool

 

Laura added it to her 'tea' this morning 👍

On the Oasis class ships we often see birds in Central Park, even on seas days.  Are you at all worried that the SL or DL will become inhabited by bees?

john - you need to find time to see Hair Spray before you are off this boat 🤩.   What happened that required a long wait at GS?

That's Pauline's age.

It sounds like you are having a great cruise.

Pauline googled that Lilly Pulitzer shop Laura called into so that will be on our list for next October.

This will be our first sailing on Symphony, but our 20 somethingth on an Oasis ship. I think they are my favorite.

 

Here's a little graphic from Royal

 

I'm looking forward to Hooked, El Loco Fresh and the Solarium Pool.

 

I also understand the Flight show and Ice Skate show are fabulous

Sorry, couldn’t help it 😜

It says it ranges anywhere from 500k to 15 million.  One is listed for 18 million.  They are pretty big places for the 10-15 million range.  There is a nice 2b2bath for little under a mill.

Sunday dinner was Coastal Kitchen 

 

Smoked tomato soup for Laura, shrimp cocktail for me. Very good, even if frozen.

 

 

We both got filet. Excellent.  Sorry I started eating it. 😱

 

No room for dessert.

 

Dinner was at 7:30, took just over an hour. 

Put a fork in us, we're done

Hi John, Looks like a great start. At some point  towards the end I would love how you would compare Symphony to Harmony? I know they are similar in some ways but that Symphony is bigger. I would love to hear your thoughts if you like one over the other. Cheers!!

Hi John and Laura - a bit late to the party - look forward to your review. Upon catch-up saw the adorable Bella. Blanket Bella is too cute.

 

Saw posts that people were asking if Mike S was the CD (sorry I skimmed a lot to catch up, so you might have replied) -- I absolutely love Mike (and not 'cause I'm Cdn too) -- he was a super CD when I sailed with him before he left and was pleased to see that he had returned.

 

Nice pics of your cabin.

 

Food porn!!! OMG that filet (from tonight (Sun) CK) looks so good!

When we go to our nice, local seafood restaurants in Miami (Milos, Sapore di Mare, Matsuri, etc...) we enjoy their FRESH seafood, many of it flown in from other parts of the world.  Not sure what there is to like about the frozen seafood at Hooked.  Do you really think it's fresh?  Do you think someone from the kitchen staff buys fresh local seafood at each port?  #redlobsteratsea

Are you having a bad day 🤷‍♀️.
