The day was March 5, 2020. I was in the comedy club enjoying a very pleasant evening. All of the sudden this urchin on the other side of the aisle did something that would change me in a deep and profound way from that day on…He sneezed on me. I screamed out “I’M HIT!” Over the past 18 months my account of the events of that night has come into question. Let’s go through it step by step. I was seated in the back on the left side of the aisle. The perpetrator was seated on the right side of the aisle. First, I was struck on the right side of the neck. It bounced off my neck and struck me again between my 3rd and 4th ribs. It then ricocheted off my ribs and hit me in my right wrist causing me to drop my beer can. It then paused in midair, took a right turn, and landed on my right thigh. That is some magic mucus. The other controversial part is what happened to my head on the first hit. When I was hit in the neck my head went back and to the left. Back and to the left Back and to the left Back and to the left If the sneeze had come from across the aisle it would’ve caused my head to pitch to the left. That means the sneeze must have come from the front and right. There must have been a second sneezer! From the chairs in front of the glassy pole. But that’s not what “they” would like you to believe. The sad thing is we may never know the real truth. I would have believed this story if the ship had embarked from Texas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see pictures of the NY Strip and it does look good. Of course with it being on Sunday it coincides with cruise elegant night one. Don't know about comparing the pay prime rib for 14.00 versus the MDR prime rib. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwinejunkie Posted August 24, 2021 #84 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm a longtime lurker of Saint Greg and Sid 9169 reviews so I was excited to see this new one. I even checked out future Mardi Gras cruises and booked this same cruise for Sep 11! Can't wait for Greg to begin his exploration and share everything with us!

mrak Posted August 24, 2021 #87 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) On 8/21/2021 at 2:27 PM, Saint Greg said: Specialty Dining My goal is to try all of the food outlets that don’t exist on other ships. When they announced Chibang! would be included on it’s first cruises, I booked two nights there before it filled up. Chibang! is half Asian and half Mexican so two bookings will allow me to try both sides of the menu. I planned to book Rudi’s Sea Grill and the Steakhouse on the ship with my onboard credit but I recently noticed that Rudi’s is selling out. The earliest available time to book online was 8pm on elegant night. I went ahead and booked 9pm on the second sea day. I could try to move it to an earlier time on the ship otherwise the late dining time will allow me to try another venue that afternoon. I went ahead and locked in my preferred early dining time at the Steakhouse as well for the last sea day. I had to put Rudi’s and the Steakhouse on my credit card to make the reservations but I heard you can have that refunded and put them on onboard credit once on the ship. Did you have any success getting your specialty dining charges refunded and using your onboard credit? I was hoping to do the same on an upcoming cruise. Thanks in advance! *edit* Just realized you aren't sailing until the 28th..oops haha. My question still stands for when you're onboard though! Looking forward to the review.

Yes, and the Radiance was filling in for the Imagination which is what we originally booked. It was the last Fantasy class ship that we hadn't been on.

We originally booked the 4 day cruise on the Imagination, but once they changed it to the Radiance we also booked the 3 day to make it a total of 7 days. We loved the Sunrise, and also liked Lee Mason who was originally slated to be the Radiances first cruise director. When that was changed to the Miracle we left the bookings alone since we love the Spirit Class ships. 😎 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
