Your favorite desert is no longer on the menu at Cafe al Bacio but if you order it by name you can get it. Despite my efforts, they still have all the ingredients . We found that out on the Reflection a couple weeks ago, still had no problem getting it, but we were asked if we wanted Vanilla or Chocolate Gelato and we didn't remember which it came with so we had to order 2 (each) so we could taste test... still don't remember so we just kept tasting them all week! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigrou Posted April 5, 2022 #203 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Jim_Iain. I’m looking forward to following your live trip report, especially as I’m also on the TA. Just need to get a negative test result tomorrow …… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your favorite desert is no longer on the menu at Cafe al Bacio but if you order it by name you can get it. Despite my efforts, they still have all the ingredients . I can't image there will be a run on it. But on one cruise they did have a run on it and ran out. Yikes... I'm surprised they removed it from the menu. They haven't changed the menu in at least a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your my kinda guy. By the way @DaKahuna what do you mean "Desert". Just a regular coffee---- LOL not as many calories that way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I prefer to think of it that way since I am in the habit of ordering mine with a shot of Bailey’s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, never entered my mind to do it that way. I have always went with Vanilla. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim and Iain, love your contributions to this and other posts. Hope we get to meet you during the 8 May Norwegian Cruise. We are regulars in Al Bacio and are instantly recognisable as we are a party of 3 - Me, Anita (the boss) and Molly. Molly is a bright red 4 wheeled walker. Have a great crossing, Geoff. PS my cousin served in the Royal Navy starting as a boy sailor at 15 and retired as a Lieutenant Commander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluwes Posted April 6, 2022 #213 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi Jim. I''m late to the party as usual 😆 Always look forward to your live threads. Particularly looking forward to this one as the Transatlantic has always been on our bucket list and next year maybe the time to do it as we have a sailing on the Silhouette in late September 2023 to the Canaries, so plenty of time to sail next April. Also on your 21st April sailing we have two lots of friends who will be onboard, a couple who are experienced cruisers and a family who have only one previous cruise a few years ago. I know they are al looking forward to it. We sailed aboard Silhouette last summer on one of her UK sailings and she is beautiful, we had a great time and were blessed with gorgeous weather especially in Scotland. We will be on the Reflection this summer so looking forward to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillLooking4Adventure Posted April 6, 2022 #214 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I'm looking forward to meeting you guys. My wife and I will be on your 2nd trip. I could give you my room number and you could tell the folks who are in my cabin on the transatlantic to try to keep it clean please. 😅 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked out well. We are in the same RS for both cruises. So will only have to change rooms once. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 6, 2022 Author #220 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Alls go. Iain also tested Negative. The strange thing with the test, after the stringent controls to test you read your own results. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 6, 2022 Author #221 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Submitted both Covid and Vax records to Bermuda. It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to process. I can only imagine people at the pier waiting for a reply. I submitted an hour ago and nothing back yet. Real easy. After you register and pay the fee they send you a link to upload your Test Results and Vax Certificate. On the form you just select file location for each and press submit.

MamaFej Posted April 6, 2022 #224 Share Posted April 6, 2022 When we used the BinaxNow proctored tests, we initially read them ourselves, then were required to hold them up to the camera for the proctor to verify. Glad that you are both negative! Have a wonderful time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you pack that light for a month? Sure, you have laundry service, but still............ I had twice that much luggage for my latest ten-night cruise! Okay, fine...I am a chronic over-packer.😆 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
