kruzerci Posted January 16, 2020 #377 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Looks like they finally cleaned or replaced the windows overlooking the boardwalk from the old DL. They had gotten pretty bad before the refit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works around 5 hours a day. He is a very gracious gentleman 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 16, 2020 Author #382 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This is Mac, Willard Mackenzie, fascinating gentleman. We spent the entire afternoon hanging out. He is a very young 82, and a Marine. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted January 16, 2020 #383 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thanks for sharing the insight and pics. I’ll be back on Oasis 2/9 and have been looking forward to checking out the new things. It will be my wife’s third cruise and third Oasis-class ship ... I may sit through Cats again for her. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to enjoy on port days when we sail Oasis in the near future. Also, thanks for the Patties and Red Stripe photo. This is our usual stop at this port as well. Off ship for something to eat authentic and beer, then back on for drink package use or should I say "USE!" Great reading the trip review. Much appreciated. 😎 As many times as we have been to Falmouth, I was unaware of those wonderful looking patties. Can you tell me where the location is that sells them?

Can you tell me where the location is that sells them? You can buy them right in the port. Small little kiosk that sells them. As you exit the main building in Falmouth, walk straight and they are located in the middle of the square. Located more towards the left side between the 2 story buildings on the perimeter of the shopping port. If you want to save about 50% and get them fresh from the oven, you can goto Tastees outside of the secured port area. You would walk out of the exit of the port. Across the street, through the alley and you will be in the town square. Take the right street out of the town square and walk another block. You will see Tastees Restaurant to your left at the intersection. There would be a long line inside and maybe outside. I have seen someone picking up dozens of boxes to their little stand in the secured port area. Edited January 17, 2020 by frank808 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted January 17, 2020 Author #391 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Went to see Frozen in Time tonight. Wonderful as ever. I've probably seen it almost as much as CATS, almost. We had a new sand artist number. Thumbelina, very good. Try and catch it if you sail Oasis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 17, 2020 Author #392 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Pinnacle lunch had a german theme. Even had German beer. It was just about the only alcohol I had all day. 3 glasses of wine, 3 beers, and then two more Heineken at the casino bar. No food pics, but here is the wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 17, 2020 Author #393 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Went to family Karaoke after msking a deposit in the slots. Royal seems to have gotten rid of Spin to Win coins. They now give us $6 free play on our account. You have to go to the cage to get it applied.

NanaP1398 Posted January 17, 2020 #396 Share Posted January 17, 2020 We are on Oasis next week and really enjoying your review - thanks for doing this! Our cabin will be a few doors down from yours so we are happy to read you are enjoying this location. Then I find out that Mario is on board - my sister & I met him last year on Adventure OTS at the Top Tier event. We did see him a few other times but didn’t bother him. Thanks for bringing us along! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you did that but I’m sure some have. 8 hours ago, John&LaLa said: Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion here. I respectfully disagree I concur John. I’ve run into him on a number of cruises now and he has always been friendly and seemed like just a regular cruiser. I suppose any regular cruiser can have a moment if someone does something like running up and sticking a camera in their face like a paparazzi. Of course he is going to have moments where he is deep in thought about something important, just like the rest of us. On Navigator during the B2B process more than a few were asking to take pictures with him. I left him alone and kept to myself figuring he might want some privacy in the morning. He ended coming over and initiating conversation. Very friendly and easy to talk with like many frequent cruisers are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
