One of my few actual souvenirs from this trip...  I couldn't resist that bright red shirt with a giant, uh... chicken on it... You thought that I was going to say something else, I bet...

Pretty Fly for a White Pie...

 

 

 

Now THAT is the pie I would have ordered! Yum.

Heya @sid_9169. Any thoughts on the Solo Inside vs the Solo Sea View now that you've had time to experience both? 🙂

I agree, GP! I was thinking the same thing- so much better looking than the ultra thin slice of cardboard on Carnival!

I liked the inside due to the darkness, but then you never know if it's light out or not... The solo sea view is larger, and has a good bit more floor space. If you put the shade down, it gets reasonably dark, but you can also see when it's getting light outside. I would for sure cruise to either one of them again...

The pizza on Virgin Voyages blows away Carnival and Norwegian by a mile...

Costume of the day, V2... I've still got a lot of clean clothes that I need to get dirty...

@Sid_9169...so what is your opinion of the construction taking place in Nassau.....is it going to "improve Nasau".....we are with you it is another sea day for us we enjoy having the ship with so few people!

[sid_9169]

I reduced myself to Patron Silver for this one at On the Rocks Bar... Dinner at Extra Virgin soon.

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

That Patron Silver margarita was nine bucks, as opposed to the $17 Don Julio Anejo ones... Exact same amount of alcohol = More bang for the buck... Plus, I've been tipping the guy good all cruise, so he uses Grand Marnier instead of Cointreau...

[sid_9169]

In my unbiased opinion, the best restaurant on the ship... Let's do it again...

You should have seen some of the raunchier "rooster" t-shirts...

Just a preview of the dishes tonight...

Ribollata, wagu beef carpaccio, and the crispy artichoke... I'm also going for the oxtail dish, as well as the pork cheek...

Their standard starter is the country bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

 

 

[sid_9169]

The guy shows up at the table with three plates, and says "are these all for you?"... Of course they are...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

For the main event tonight, first the pork cheek dish...

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

And, then the oxtail...

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

Since I've only had two desserts this entire vacation, I went for another one tonight. The ricotta bambolini... Fried donuts with ricotta cheese and a black currant compote... Sounds fancy, and tastes even better!

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

I can't even believe how great all of the food was here tonight. I mean, this is really more like fine dining than regular cruise ship type food... The great service on top of all that means that they're coming for the competing cruise lines' customers... There hasn't been a single thing that I've had all week that I would consider sun par. Not in The Galley, not in the main restaurants, or any of the quick dining type places. It's simply head out shoulders above anything on Carnival or NCL... 

[sid_9169]

Until next time, Nassau... Not really...

 

Now I'm going to have a reputation of a Nassau hater. I don't hate it, I just don't really particularly enjoy it...

 

I wonder where we're even going to go now? The bad weather is heading straight for Miami, so you'd think that we'll try to avoid that as much as possible. There's no dang ship tracking TV on the ship, so I guess that it's going to be a mystery...

Open up google maps on your phone and it will show you your GPS position.  We did that when we cruised right past Havana to identify the large buildings we could see through the view finder on deck.  Did you know there are view finders on deck?  If not, go track them down!
