Were these as good as the ones you get at that gas station on the way to NOLA?

Billy’s are on a different level than most boudin balls. Billy’s are about 2-3 times as big as these and the breading is more like fried chicken. And they have pepperjack cheese in them. Oh have I shown you the new building they built? They moved out of the old gas station. They have they have the largest building in town.

I'm so happy we booked a B2B on the Mardi Gras for 2023.  Seeing all these photos has me so excited about it.

Please Greg if you could cover the Salsa scene in San Juan and the joints the locals frequent for live salsa & reaggeton music that would be amazing. It’s my dream some day to visit PR and I’m really interested in the Salsa & Reggaeton scene. 

you talking about dancing or chips and salsa?

Shrimp and Grits  

 

 

How were the shrimp and grits? The lighting makes it look a little strange

Quick question because I don't want to start anything on your wonderful blog, but a friend that is traveling with us smokes was it allowed at the Casino bar

When we were on MG 2 weeks ago the casino bar was a smoking area

Not on this ship that I’m aware of.

All they have to do is hang out in the Alchemy bar in the evenings and look for Harry Porter 🙃

Milli Vanilli has done more singing than I have dancing. But I know the perfect person to ask.

It was good. the lighting can mess with things. This thing changes from pink to green to purple. It changes the way my alchemy drinks look as well.

Who asked about smoking in the casino bar? Ice machine to the left smoking. To the right non smoking.

A guy just came up and ordered a Sierra Mist. Natalya says “we don’t serve soft drinks in here. It’s just alcoholics only.”

Raspberry coconut rum drink from Natalya

It’s really interesting sitting down here on the end with all of the walk ups. Those are the complaints. The people that want soda. The people that want beer. Etc.

That drink looks and sounds delicious.

There are a lot of alchemists on this ship working in other bars. I think Maria said 16. I just heard someone ask about Kat. They were were told she isn’t working in the alchemy this week. She’s in the limelight. That makes me wonder if it’s the same kat that was an alchemist on my glory cruise two years ago. If so that makes….at least 5 of my former alchemists working in other bars on this ship.

With so few ships sailing right now, maybe they were the best to call back and may eventually move to other ships as they sail?
