kelkel2 Posted February 19, 2023 #1602 Share Posted February 19, 2023 In the future, you could have tried to get a day room at the hotel in the airport. Not sure what it would have cost, but they do offer them. You could have at least gotten a nap in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted February 19, 2023 #1604 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Curacao, we walked at night past the fort to the floating bridge. It was great to watch it turn so boats could get past. Had a bite at a restaurant right on the water. Aruba, we snorkeled over a wreck. Carnival excursion. Had drinks near the port. Pink building pic is Aruba bar 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 19, 2023 Author #1605 Share Posted February 19, 2023 There’s an urban crave bar/restaurant down by gates 1-10 but it’s full. I guess there’s one more wing I can try. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m jealous you have them. Now, the only one in Orlando is at the airport. We had one by the Millenia Mall, but it’s gone now. I believe they tore the building down and put in a Chick Fil A. Like we needed another fast food chicken place; and one that closes on Sunday at that! I miss the cappuccino from La Madeleine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like margarita’s they have a watermelon margarita in the pig and anchor. That pig and anchor has the best bloody marys. My goto is the funship. I’ll occasionally mix in a White Russian for frozen drinks pina colada is the go to but I like a banana daiquiri. Even though it isn’t on any of the menus they can make it. A mudslide if you want a frozen chocolate drink. The Smoky Watermelon Margarita is sooooo good. And you are so right, the P&A Bloody Marys are the bomb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 19, 2023 Author #1615 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Guy comes up to the bar and orders a whiskey sour. He requests the cheapest brand of whiskey and says no sour. Bartender thinks he said light on the sour. He brings the drink. The guy says "Is that sour?" Yeah. "I said I didn't want any sour." So you just want a whiskey on the rocks? "Yeah." Why didn't you order that? "I did." 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sat at the bar and had tasty cocktails with small plates. I was also going to suggest this place. Yummy! I really enjoyed cruising out of Mobile last year. Saw the battleship, visited the gulf museum and ate very well before the cruise. Very easy port. I hope you enjoy it too! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea how they got it (maybe Delta???). Wish I had kept it. Said I could pick a time to go through Security to speed things up. So, I picked 10:30 not sure what time I’d be getting off the ship or if there would be an issue on the trip from the port to the Orlando airport. I arrived very early and about 9:30 I got tired of waiting and approached the TSA agent at a site next to the regular Security area figuring all she could say is that I was too early. Nope, she didn’t bat an eye and just waved me through to a very short security line. And, no, I don’t have Clear. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear the start of the conversation but she brings in one of those silver things the bartenders use to measure shots. Points to a spot on it and says "I put this much sour in it." Now she's making him another one with the sour but adding honey. Sounds like he's happy with it. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
