Frivolity continued last night…won a couple hundred in the casino.at the craps table.  Gave it all back at Black Jack.  C’est la vie!

 

Wandered around….

Prime Rib in the Haven Restaurant….

[graphicguy]

Can not emphasize enough how good the band is in Syd Norman’s….music in my wheelhouse…FM tunes from my youth….get there early…like 45 minutes early!

Went to the Sunset Bar after the show to take in the warm breeze.  Ended up, where else, Haven Bar for more concoctions….

[graphicguy]

And…we’re in the Dominican Republic…

August 29th can't come soon enough!!! I'll be there eating that yumminess! Thanks for confirming Dusan is still restaurant manager - kind of hoping he's off his contract by the time we get there in August.

BTW….the prime rib was excellent!

 

For some unknown reason, Dusan stops to check on me whenever I’m in the Haven!  He must think I look lost and needy (which some days, is true). 🙂

When we were on the Getaway 4/3 - 4/10/22 they did Fleetwood Rumors album with a backstory, and also did a Prom Night with popular Prom songs. They were awesome, need a bigger venue.

Both are coming up tomorrow night and Friday night, respectively.   Looking forward to both!

 

Definitely need a bigger venue.  But, we were 5 feet from the performance!

 

Would put some of the original performers of the songs to shame!

Awesome!  Syds and Howl at the moon are the 2 places where I spend my evenings.  Hope they're still on when I sail 2x B2B next month.

By far, my wife's favorite meal on our last cruise.  I think she ate it like 3 nights.  Had them add a lobster tail to it as well two of the nights when she got jealous I got the surf and turf.

It is!

 

From memory…

 

-Buffalo Trace Bourbon

-Cherries Marinated in brandy, muddled on the glass

-cinnamon stick 

-orange peel 

-smoked with apple wood chips

This is only available in the Haven?

I think so.  I know other bars around the ship do not have the smoke maker, nor the perfectly shaped and totally clear ice maker.  I know the bartenders make their own 

 

I don’t think you can find those ingredients posted in the pic anywhere else, either!

 

it takes awhile to make each one on top of that.  Couldn’t imagine the pool bar getting an order for 5 of those.  It would take forever to make in quantity!

Just returned from Amber Cove beaching it a bit.  T…..O…..A….S…..T….Y!

He also loves Kit Kat's, we dropped off a bag full of them for the hostess and noticed him with the bag heading into the back. Next time we had to sneak them in.

So what you are saying is I am going to have to bribe someone in the Haven?!?

Glad to see you sailing NCL again.  I also still look fondly back on our GA cruise in September of 2018.  That was a great cruise! 

I am actually sailing NCL again later this month, also for my birthday.  A quick three-day on the Sky.  Then I will be back to my new favorite, Yacht Club on MSC for September, November and December.

Hopefully we will bump into each other again in the future.
