Rare Momof3gurlz Posted January 28, 2023 #84151 Share Posted January 28, 2023 We had a great flight yesterday from a shockingly empty Logan Airport. Breezed through check-in and security with no lines. Our AA flight left on time and arrived in Miami a few minutes early. We’re staying at the Aloft Miami Brickell. It’s fine, nice and clean but a little bare bones/minimalist in the room category. My wine on the flight yesterday. An unknown vintage, choices offered by the flight attendant were “red or not red”, LOL. @h20skibumNo live report, I may do something post cruise on the NCL boards. I will be posting a bit during the week here. @Ocean BoyBon Voyage! 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted January 28, 2023 #84159 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Sitting in the terminal waiting for boarding to start. This has been quite a stress free morning. And just finished the safety video. All I need to do when I get aboard is stop at muster station and head to the Windjammer... Opens at 11:00.🙂 And for the record, check-in times matter not. No one looked or questioned. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the heated tile floor contributed to the instability? We had the scale for over two years. We have one that looks like that. It’s about 10 years old and now I’ll be afraid to step on it. 😱 🤣 On 1/25/2023 at 7:11 AM, maggieq said: Loving the tankless water heater. Curious on your second shingles shot. I had my first one a few weeks ago and had a pretty harsh reaction to it. Not looking forward to the second one. Had no reactions fro Covid 1&2 and flu shot. Covid booster, yes but went away after 24 hours. When I had my shingles shots I had a little bit of pain and a bump with redness for about 10 days. I also had no reactions to the flu and covid shots/boosters.

We usually go with 2 other couples and have an ongoing rivalry with another group that is there regularly. They usually win and we usually take second place. 🤬 Last night, I made a somewhat educated guess for one of the questions and we were the only team to get it right. I'm pretty sure that at least 2 people here will know the answer. "To what city would you need to travel to visit the Sixth Floor Museum?" Our rivals were not there last night, but we still finished in second place. ☹️ Dallas was my guess, but I don’t recall there being a museum there when I lived there in ‘79 and the early 80’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is good mostly, unless you are sharing the hotel with a travelling soccer group of 12 year olds or a dance troupe with those obnoxious dance moms who insist on their girls to bring every gold medal there is (sorry, dont intend to be mean just saying.)

This has been a very good lunch and finally RCI has even learned how to make desserts. I just had some excellent creme brule. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creme Brulee is one of my favorite desserts and I get it on almost every cruise. I've had it range from outstanding (great taste, great texture, perfect "crisp" on top) to worst I've ever had (literally...tasted like undercooked runny pudding with no caramelized top). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Kraken Espresso Rumtini. This tasted outstanding. 1 oz Kraken Dark Spiced Rum 1 oz Coffee Liqueur (Mr. Black or Khalua ) 1 oz Espresso 0.5 oz Simple Syrup 3 Coffee Beans for Garnish Cheers! I was also watching both BD Adventure and BD. On BD.....That Camille sure does twist words. Her not understanding that Captain Sandy has to trust what her Dept. Heads say. Looks like the upcoming episode with her joining everyone for their night out will turn out to be a hot mess. Nice to see Capt Lee is doing better and may be back onboard next week. Not happy to see Rachel having trouble with her timing these meals. Grant it an 8-course tasting menu is quite a project but still there has to be a better way then have guests sitting with no food for more than 15 minutes per course. She is an amazing Chef and can do much better than she has been with time management. On BD Adventure - Faye and the Chef sure do get on each other's nerves. I am not impressed with this Chef. I have not seen any WOW dishes that you would expect for a Super Yacht. And the hair issue is definitely a problem. One hair, okay - stuff happens but the fact the guests found hairs in separate meals is Not good. I agree, the girls need to wear their hair when they are serving food and the Chef should Not be fiddling with her in the kitchen either. Definitely not liking the ego of Seth. He applied for a deck hand position and has to accept the fact that he is not in charge. He didn't want to listen to anyone when he was being told about the bumpers being wrong when docking - not good! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted January 28, 2023 #84175 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Some quick first impressions. Odyssey is drop dead gorgeous and exudes class. The Windjammer is beautiful and seems so much more functional than what the O class offers. The ship also seems a bit chopped up though. There seem to be a lot of twists and turns. Right now I'll write this up to being a whole new class of ship for me. Hopefully some exploring will make it a bit more familiar. I think O class was easier to adjust to. One thing I think I don't, and won't, like is the totally enclosed solarium. It seems very warm and humid in there. I may have to scout for a new hangout location. Cabins just opened. Need to go check it out. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
