George C Posted July 9, 2022 #63382 Share Posted July 9, 2022 5 hours ago, bobmacliberty said: We will be trying a new Italian restaurant tonight on the island with some Italian friends (who definitely know good Italian food). It's called Alloro Bistro and is a sister to the Alloro Restaurant in Sicily. We talked to one person who said it was just OK, and to a couple who said it was outstanding. The menu looks great and is supposed to be all made from scratch. We'll see if the food lives up to the hype. Our favorite restaurant for 30 years was a Italian restaurant owner/chef was Sicilian on both sides I was at his house many times at holiday parties and never heard her speak English. Problem was it was too upscale for the neighborhood, most people were happy with Olive Garden prices. I do get his cooking at most of our monthly poker games , we are the alternate host. My grandmother came to nyc in 1890 when she was 20 from Sicily. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural that there are different ways of cooking 28 minutes ago, Ocean Boy said: I mentioned it as the person who didn't appreciate the local Italian restaurant may have been use to the style of a different region of Italy..... Duh😏 Absolutely agree, I just think it's funny whenever anyone mentions an Italian restaurant you know she will come back with "Yuck, they have horrible food", and she doesn't dissapoint. We have tried to say maybe you are used to a different type and get no I know what real Italian food tastes like. Many of us have given up talking about restaurants, of any kind actually, around her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted July 9, 2022 #63388 Share Posted July 9, 2022 @dani negreanu Finally got around to reading your Beyond review over on the Celebrity boards. The thread is now locked and only 4 pages long. I remember it being longer a few days ago. I'm assuming things got a bit nasty & many posts needed to be deleted? Anyway, sorry the long awaited cruise was such a disappointment. As was the "meeting" with Captain Kate 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite surprised it was locked, even though, indeed, some replies were nasty, but the vast majority were very heart warming. @Ocean Boy BTW, no reply to my email to corporate. Yes, the no "meeting" was disappointing, more so since she's continuing to show that people brought her the Trader's Joe snacks she asked for, and I KNOW that I had such a big part in this. I've asked cruisers in all the Beyond roll calls for May, June and July, as well as those in the other social site. I've answered their questions, kept track of who managed to buy them, wrote to "her" about them. There is a huge difference between asking for them in tik-tok, and me "targeting" the very people who in a short time will board your "boat".... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be upscale with expensive prices. Not a chain but family owned and operated taking pride on what comes out of their kitchen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted July 10, 2022 #63398 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Question for you guys. After our Adventure cruise in September, Jim and I will only need 7 points more to become Diamond. Yay! We'll be doing our first B2B in March, the second being our Bella Cruise. After the first leg, we will have completed the needed points. I had "assumed" we would be good for the Bella Cruise, but I have read in the past that it takes a week or two for the points to be added. So, here comes my question. If we were to book a 4 night cruise in a Jr. Suite, would we get 8 points for the 4 nights?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can talk to the Loyalty Ambassador on the first cruise about reaching Diamond after that cruise and they can update your card for the second cruise so you get diamond benefits. If you decide to do a 4 night in a JS, yes, you would get 8 points. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
