Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2022 Author #201 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Finishing up my last pina colada outside on Havana. It's a nice day out and peaceful out here. The music is quiet but I think it would be better without it at all. Just the sounds of the ocean. They did not open my sodas thankfully so I'm going to enjoy those later. Heading to the room might try to nap if M is still asleep. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slight breeze but not windy and just a slight roll in the water. But you can feel every roll on the ship. Cruise Mapper is showing the Celebration in rough seas at 3.3m.

It doesn't look that bad at all. I'll get a picture next time I head outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2022 Author #204 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Current sea conditions. It is not rolling as bad now but for sure a good amount of swaying going on. It reminds me of Sunshine. Always rocking even when the water is calm. It's not unpleasant and I have only taken medication once, but it is noticeable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2022 Author #205 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) M was awake so no nap for me. We went put to grab her some lunch. I saw food so I had to eat too. Super loaded fries. Chicken satay. The fries were very good. The chicken was inedible chewey weird meat. I ate the rice and it was pretty good but the chicken was a no go.

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2022 Author #206 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I promise to never complain that I don't even see my name in the list of names for these drawings again. I've seen it just barely roll past my name 4 times now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2022 Author #207 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Tried to lay down for a nap but didn't really sleep. Doing dinner late tonight and I'm already hungry again somehow. I stopped into Javablue which I think a lot of people forget has food. I got a chicken amd cheddar sandwich. Fantastic. I've got to try to stop in here more often and try the offerings they look pretty good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #209 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Gift from the casino - a travel quillow. They also sent what I think was a beach chair. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #210 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Now M wants to do dinner instead of comedy first. Shouldn't have eaten that sandwich. We ended up with steakhouse comps afterall so we are not doing emril's tonight but instead making a return to cucina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #211 Share Posted December 10, 2022 My name kept rolling by and finally I got drawn. I got to play Matilda the cash cow. Rolled a 6 which is the best you can do. Got to pick 6 spots and won $525 fun play!!! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #212 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Dinner tonight was at cucina. Before I post tonight's let's rewind to night 2 and talk about that dinner at cucina. Menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #213 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Service at dinner at chibang had not been good. This was actually worse. It took about 15 minutes before a server ever showed up and then it was because we flagged him down. He seemed bothered by our presence and had zero personality. The food was mostly good and we lucked into a nice private booth. Nonnas meatball. Delicious even if Nonna is not generous with her portions. Cured tuna. Good but cut way too thin. Short ribs. This was too dry. Turns out it is supposed to come with a sauce that I did not get. It needs that sauce. Pasta carbonara. Ordered a half portion but it's the same size I got today. I think that is because all the portions are half sized already. Fried potatoes. Not what I was expecting but they were good. Lemon frozen torte for dessert. I did not care for dessert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #214 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Dinner tonight started off the same. We sat and sat and sat waiting for a server. Once he did arrive, this guy at least had some personality and appeared to be trying. Nonnas meatball again. Arancini. These were great. Veal marsala. Excellent. Pasta carbonara. Tiramisu. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #215 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Both cucina dinners were good. Service could use some improvement. Portions are much smaller than they would be at the pay version. You may need to order accordingly. The atmosphere is much nicer than chibang with more private nooks and it's not so loud for whatever reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #216 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The other dinner I didn't post was from night 3. That night we went to the mdr. I didn't have high hopes for the service after the first two nights. I was pleasantly surprised. It was cold, but efficient at least. Quick turnaround on courses and attentive service. Spring rolls to start. Pork slider. Wienersnitzel. This was not good tonight. It's usually good but was bland tonight. Stuffed mushrooms. Thiphotos.to be so good when it came in a white cream sauce. This was just odd tasting. Wcmc for dessert. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #217 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The mains were not good but the rest of the meal was. It was also very quiet, I guess most people are using the alternative restaurants for dinner. I don't plan to return here just because I want to try out the other new options instead of the same dinner menu I get on every cruise. I'll post the menus each night next cruise for reference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #218 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Rounding out the food pics I haven't posted is a couple from the Deco Deli on night one. First is the grilled steak sandwich. This sandwich was amazing. The meat was hot and so juicy it was dripping onto my plate. Definitely try this sandwich. I also grabbed a turkey sandwich for a late night snack. I was looking forward to trying this because it's been pulled off the deli menu on other ships and it was one of my favorites. Unfortunate it lived in my fridge for too long and I ended up tossing it. This is because the late night pizza line issue has not been a problem one time. Even when the line was long, it moved quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #219 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Turned my $1025 funplay into $922 real money. Not going to play tomorrow so leaving this leg of the trip up almost $890. Results not typical. Back in the room now while M closes down the casino again. Going to bed now. Good night everyone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #221 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Good morning everyone. Today is the last day before I start my solo adventure. I enjoy cruising with my friend but I'm definitely looking forward to my solo trip. I feel like I haven't even begun to explore anything the ship has to offer. I will do my best to right that wrong over the coming 8 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 10, 2022 Author #225 Share Posted December 10, 2022 While M was getting ready I grabbed a quick snack from street eats. The flavors were good but again the problem was the meat. Quality wise it was one level below table scrap. I ate around the meat and it was delicious. Carbonara fries. Fries were very good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
