Rare jam19872016 Posted September 30, 2022 Author #376 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Dinner was OK. The salmon was the only thing good although nothing was bad its just nothing else was more than just ok. Certainly not worth the wait. Thankfully like I said this is not the norm. Food and service have been very good most nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 30, 2022 Author #379 Share Posted September 30, 2022 My 33 day cruise is half way over. Going to bed. Up next, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 30, 2022 Author #380 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Good morning. We are docked in Puntarenas and apparently the dock is level with the cabins on deck 1. I'm not sure who was more surprised to learn that, me when I opened my curtain in my underwear or the crew on the other side of my window 😅. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 30, 2022 Author #381 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Back on the ship after a nice day exploring Puntarenas. The weather was warm as you would expect without being too hot. There was lots of shopping to be had as soon as you got off the pier. Reasonable prices and not too many pushy vendors. I found a locally designed t-shirt for $12 that I'm happy with. There was also some sort of parade and festivities going on so the atmosphere was very festive. The beach right off the pier did not look very inviting but everything else in the immediate area was nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #385 Share Posted October 1, 2022 The internet is being a pain again. It went down last night and is still very slow this am. Ironically it started having issues as I was purchasing wifi for some cruises before the price went up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #386 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I found out the festivities in Puntarenas yesterday were for us to celebrate us being the first ship of the season. The president of Costa Rica even showed up and came onboard. As far as I know he did not make a public appearance onboard but that is still pretty cool. Sunset as we were leaving Puntarenas. You could still hear the drums in the distance as we sailed away. A very nice experience and wonderful welcome from the Costa Rican people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #387 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Last night's dinner menu is a new menu for me. I think we are about out of new ones, they didn't spread them out real well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #388 Share Posted October 1, 2022 For my starters I ordered the jalapeño poppers and the venison spring roll. Both were good. For mains I ordered the chicken pot pie and the pork picatta. I didn't care for the pork dish but the pot pie was good. For dessert I had the amaretto cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #390 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Stewart is doing a great job. My mom stole my sheet because she was cold. Last night when he saw that he brought her an extra blanket I've never seen before without being asked. He's definitely going above and beyond.

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #391 Share Posted October 1, 2022 We're almost caught back up, not counting what I've not posted from the first internet outage. Today is our last full day in the pacific ocean. Tomorrow is our canal transit. We lost another hour last night and now we are just one hour behind eastern. First up today is the lecture on the Panama Canal. Very poor planning as it was help in the comedy lounge while the theater was used for a port shopping show. They are scheduling an extra show so others can see because the lounge was standing room only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 1, 2022 Author #392 Share Posted October 1, 2022 With the new shortened brunch hours it was closed when the lecture concluded so I made a buffet run. Carnivals buffet is not strong enough to support as many trips as I've taken there at this point. I made my own chibang style plate. Half Asian half Mexican. The Mexican was surprisingly good 👍 For dessert I had a piece of tiramisu cheesecake which was also very yummy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 2, 2022 Author #400 Share Posted October 2, 2022 For my starter I ordered the demo item the pastechi karni which is basically an empenada. It was very good. Next I ordered the jerk pork loin and the grilled salmon. Both were good. For dessert I got the babaloo cake which I also liked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
