ANOTHER (just what you wanted) Mardi Gras LIVE 11/06-11/13

We got to the Distillery just in time for a free tour and free samples. We learned all the things including the fact that it is in the movie Casino Royale. It’s a good, informative yet quick tour. AND FREE!

wasn't there a late 90s band called the new radicals? I vaguely remember them from TRL maybe?

Yes and they taught me, you only get what you give. 😉

Then we moved into the gift shop and bar where we had the 2 for $19 pina colada special. This was the important part because we came here to have a pina colada showdown with Barrachina. And after tasting both, I will announce that Barrachina won by a thin margin. The rum at John Watling is much better, but the creaminess and ambiance of Barrachina wins out. 
Now you can all rest easy. It’s a pina colada fact! 
still a very excellent pina colada.

After the epic showdown… we walked down and did some shopping. Lots to see through Nassau. Then got back on the ship about 2ish.

After dinner, headed over to Brass Magnolia to see Atilla. He saw us on the way to dinner and asked where we had been. Brass Magnolia was very busy because the New Radicals were playing. I got a Praline truffle. It’s really good. 

BTW, they are “New Age” not “New Radicals” oops!

[balcony bound]

oh my. I'd have to pay the $20 for the Osso Bucco.  Just don't find it often.

[MeganGC1983]

We checked in at 6:17 for a 10 minute wait. Still waiting 30 minutes later.

It does sound really good.

Yes! Very exciting and neat that we were sailing away. Also appreciate that it didn’t rain. 

[MeganGC1983]

Arancini, mussels and clams and nona’s meatballs and a glass of sweet star. 

[MeganGC1983]

Chicken Parmesan and veal Marsala 

[MeganGC1983]

Dessert took awhile to get but it was good! Tiramisu and maple ricotta fritters (these were definitely different and maple-less)

[MeganGC1983]

Ok on to Brass Magnolia to say goodbye to Atilla… saw Parodeejay… got a Praline truffle, but no Atilla. 😞 Gonna have to track him down.  This is supposed to be acoustic jams with Travis per the app… it’s a pretty good jazz trio that I’ve seen on other reviews but not our cruise. 

[MeganGC1983]

I like how I’m above Atlantis in this one. 

[MeganGC1983]

Atilla is back from his dinner break. Another praline truffle, I mean, ok. 

[MeganGC1983]

Odd… sitting here and all of a sudden, there’s an oyster cart. They are offering free oysters to promote Emeril’s. 
that reminds me… they surveyed me again at dinner about it and this time I got to say yes.
