firstimecruiseronncl Posted December 8, 2019 #1226 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'd like to know your opinion of the larger Vibe? I noticed they didn't have cushions on the lounge chairs. 😞 Thanks for the report. Very enjoyable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Rommel called it something different, but I'm trying to keep it PG-13... Oh yeah, Rommel insisted that I give the toast on this shot, since it's the end of the cruise... Well, it was definitely not something I can print here on Cruise Critic... You'd just have to be here... that shot looks like one commonly served in Ireland called a baby Guinness, but we’d have tia Maria or kahlua in the bottom part so it looks like a Guinness in miniature. btw everyone moaning about bare feet on furniture try being allergic to the aloe Vera everyone slathers all over themselves and leaves behind on the furniture... I had a really bad breakout from it on the back of my legs after sitting on a vinyl chair in the atrium on breakaway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2019 Author #1232 Share Posted December 8, 2019 After I took another shower following the long travel day, I needed to find some food... I still had Miami on my mind, so I headed to one of my favorite places for Cuban sandwiches. Havana sandwich shop has been around for as long as I can remember. The original location caught fire about twenty years ago, and they moved further up Buford highway about a year later. Then, a few years ago, they ended up refurbishing the original location, and it was like they never left... Some of the people working there have been there since they were kids, and are now grown up and running the place. My go-to meal here is the Cuban sandwich with a side of both yellow rice and black bean soup... The rice has a tomato sauce on top, and I like to put most of it right into the soup... I ate every single bite, all the way down to the last single grain of rice... After that, I had to work for about three hours, and now I'm home trying to get some laundry done before having to go back to real work tomorrow... I still can't seem to clear my left ear following the flight. I'm basically totally deaf on that side from the pressure. This has never been a problem for me before, and I hope it clears up sooner than later. The pressure is giving me a horrible headache... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worked for us is some hydrogen peroxide in the stuffed ear. Bubbles up and may itch a little as it clears. Doctor uses it in their big plunger but you can just put a little in there in stages.

deedle7544 Posted December 9, 2019 #1238 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yes, hydrogen peroxide in the ear. The bubbles are a really weird, yet kinda fun sensation. You might have to do it a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted December 9, 2019 #1239 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) What a fabulous report! Thank you. I cannot believe the people sleeping in the OL. Its like they actually went there with a purpose to sleep. WTH. We will be in the Haven, but knowing Rommel is right next door, I may want to get the Vibe passes. I really think my dd and her bf would enjoy Vibe over Haven too. Cannot wait to see Chocolate Cowboy and Bong. Where did you spend your nights once done with dinner? I know you dont stay out too late but was there a place you enjoyed ending your night? How was the waterfront at night? Was the place that use to be the 5 Oclock Somewhere bar crowded in the evening? More more question, what was your favorite bar and restaurant? Sorry you are back to reality and thank you again for taking the time on your trip to post photos and answer questions! I appreciated every word! Edited December 9, 2019 by js 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted December 9, 2019 #1240 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Sweet...souvenirs made it home. Looks awesome. Chew gum, yawn or try the hydrogen peroxide. I have some in my bathroom closet but it’s kinda far away. At least it’s not the cruise crud!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blarko Posted December 9, 2019 #1242 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Another idea to clear the ear is to take a decongestant. Works like a charm about an hour after you take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
