Random Curaçao

Pontoon bridge in action

We had runners!

 

The Alvarado family showed up right at the horn and a full portside of cheering passengers.

Love the shot of Aruba in the distance.  Very cool finding the coin.

Love the review so happy, thank you for great pictures too.

Had dinner at Bonsai Teppanyaki (casino comp.  host came up Monday and asked if Wifey-poo and I had and dinner plans in Curaçao, I replied “no” and she asked if I preferred the steakhouse or Teppanyaki. 
 

Chose Teppanyaki because never done one, even on a ship. 
 

then asked what time and offered two different times, I chose the earliest

 

Realizing I was possibly walking into a minefield because I made an executive decision on my own…..LOL

 

It worked out, she agreed with the choices. 
 

The dinner was great. To understand, you order your entree and the apps come while he’s prepping and making the fried rice.

 

You get all of the apps, your chosen entree and the dessert bento box 

 

Miko was chef’s name I believe, food was good needs to work on show a little. Was slow at times compared the one next to us. 

 

Another issue is volume, due to masks and accents, it’s really hard to understand. 
 

We don’t know what the sexy towel critter is

@EngIceDavethe ears on the towel animal remind me of a koala bear.

I have a reservation at Teppanyaki and just wanted to thank you for the picture of the menu and the food.

[EngIceDave]

We passed a rainbow!

[EngIceDave]

It’s correct on my end, don’t know why upside down in your end

[EngIceDave]

La Romana?

 

la Yawnmana. …..Zzzzzzzzz

 

venture beyond the straw market on your own and you better have a weapon. 
 

no excursion? Just stay on board. 
 

Some randomness. 
 

I was trying to impress the size and scale of the ship to surroundings some today. The ship looms large over the tiny port market

The secret southernmost New York Yankees and Little League scouting center….lol

[EngIceDave]

OK boys and girls, everyone gather round for story time

 

See the man in the photo? The one who’s identity has been poorly hidden?

 

See all the empty tables and chairs?

 

this gentleman and significant other walked past allllllllll those tables and chairs and sat next to us.

 

now, it could be argued that the spouse want to also sit at the padded wall seat, as I am, but there were three tables….A, B and a C….Call the window seat A and B and C, just like a plane.

 

we were seated at A.

both B and C were available.  They chose B

right next to me

 

 

This is a guy who’ll piss in the urinal next to you when all of the others are open.

(Ladies, if you don’t get that, ask your man, because he does)

If you could let me know where this is in relation to the port that would be awesome, my baseball fanatic husband is intrigued 

[EngIceDave]

At the port. I am on the ship taking that photo. 
 

 

[EngIceDave]

By the way, your husband knows I was joking, right?

lol  IDK, but it wouldn't have been surprising for the real thing lol

Want to discuss food for a moment.

 

I don’t consider myself a foodie, but I know and enjoy good food and I am the cook of my home, which I take pride in. 
 

All that said, the food has been disappointing IF ITS FREE, other than the GuyBurgers and burritos. 
 

MDR and lido have been very disappointing, especially since we have always complimented their MDR food. Lido is lido…it’s buffet food.

 

my issue there is the limited selections and even the number of them open. There was one point I could not find any open food on lido. I wanted a sweet…a cookie, even a banana….nope…

it was all totally closed. This was like 5pm.

 

the overall quality has been lacking, but the cakes and stuff in that sweet spot have been great.

 

I won’t call any of it terrible, just not that great 

[EngIceDave]

Hello from Jurassic Park (Amber Cove)

[EngIceDave]

Observation:

 

I typically wear Vans shoes, one pair is a bit worn and if the decks are wet, it’s slick as fork. 
 

If you’re not in good deck shoes or athletic shoes, take caution.

 

if older/elderly, take even more care than normal. 

[helene109]

Hi fantastic review! We are doing abc itinerary in May. What is it like right off the piers? Shopping safe? Excursion a must do in what port in your opinion. Thanks!

[EngIceDave]

Amber Cove is, IMO, like an island. I wouldn’t go wandering off. Don’t see anywhere to wander to other than jungle where the dinosaurs will eat you. 
 

but here’s some pictures of the safer areas and price menus. 

[EngIceDave]

Casino’s been whipping my azz 

 

Just sayin’
