Rare BennyBrun Posted August 28, 2022 Author #130 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I really don’t understand the need to eat while you are standing in front of a pile of food…inadvertently something will end up from the mouth back into the bowls… especially when you are standing right in front of it and chew 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seemoreroyals Posted August 28, 2022 #131 Share Posted August 28, 2022 @BennyBrunyou are a man of your word. Thank you for all of the nice pictures. Have you noticed whether they have made the change yet on the ship from Pepsi products to Coke products? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted August 28, 2022 Author #138 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I have some no refundable credit so I picked up a bottle of cologne that’s on sale but still cost more than if I ordered it on Amazon and have it delivered … but hey I don’t have to pay taxes 😂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rjm11 Posted August 28, 2022 #141 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I fondly remember our Sept cruise to Alaska back in 2010 because of the weather that looked like that. I loved it! I found it so soothing and cozy. I've been back to AK several times since and still think about sitting in the spa area on the Pearl, watching the rain and the whales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me later in the cruise how much you can smell smoke in the 678 area or elsewhere on the ship from this? Also, thank you so much for this thorough "virtual" cruise!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that the casino is NOT busy at all, there is hardly any one in the smoking section of the casino and there are no dealers around dinner time when I walked by as there are no one there to play… even the non smoking casino had maybe a dozen people playing… such a contrast precovid and also Royal’s casino is busier than this but nothing can compare to Carnivals casino when it comes to being busy ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to order breakfast in a to go container like a restaurant so they can take it to their excursion because the excursion meeting was like 6am or something like that… like I always said you can’t do it all… so sometimes you have to just have coffee and a pastry if you don’t have time for a full breakfast because you have an excursion. Although I do have to say that we get into some of these Alaska ports very very early and leave around noon/1 pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlGoodShips Posted August 29, 2022 #150 Share Posted August 29, 2022 You have to try the "pastelitos" in the observation lounge. Each day...a different flavor. Absolutely heavenly delicious. So light and yummy. My favorite, guava. Mmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
