Today’s “Butler’s Treats”

While The Birds were at dinner, additional “butler treats” showed up (the “butler” is working late) 

 

[BirdTravels]

Time to go back to US Eastern time

 

Note: The Bird has sailed on this itinerary many times, including last December. This is the first cruise where the Captain elected not to change the ship’s clock to local time in Honduras and Belize. For most people, they could subtract an hour from ship time,,, there were a few that never figured it out.

Oh No! Say it isn’t so. But it’s time to go

Look for evening movies in Spice H20. Like yesterday there was Star Wars the Force Awakens at 7:00. The night before was Jurassic Word Domination. And tonight there is some Disney movie at 7:00.

The Bird will post all menus and restaurants “soon” (probably Monday).  With the ship at 110% capacity with a lot of “younger folks” glued to heir phones, the Wi-Fi has been painfully slow. 
 

BTW: Originally created by Iron Chef Jose Garces, the Bird considers Pinchos some of the best food on the ship. And are sad that it is only on the Escape. The Tapas restaurant on the Prima does not compare.

How do you drive the ship? Tech talk with the Captain and Chief

You may have mentioned this already in this or another post but I'm interested in what your favorite ship is and why as you are an experienced NCL cruiser and we will be First Timers.

No battle of the sexes the last night, unless I missed it another day?!

Weird, I always enjoyed that "game show"!

I’ll be boarding the Escape in two weeks…I’m curious as to what your top favorites items to order from Pinchos is! I plan on using one of my speciality credits here……

Canvas by U is a painting class where you are taken step by step to create a masterpiece,,, in one hour. It was offered (and sold out) four times in this cruise. Sign up with the entertainment reservations group on embarkation day. (Bring your own wine).

Thanks so much for your informative review, we were on the Escape in March, we are going on Escape again in Dec.  I don't remember seeing Pinchos, can you tell me what the CAB means on the menu for Pinchos, it says grilled CAB beef skewers, is CAB Certified Angus Beef?  My husband only eats chicken or beef and I want to try this restaurant, I just want to make sure that is a beef only dish. 😱

Thanks for posting these. My 23 yo daughter is embarking today with her bf and she's been down in Miami since yesterday, so I just sent her these. We sailed Escape in 2018 so she's already pretty familiar with the ship. 

Hope you had a great week!

Good Morning Miami

 

This is where it all starred a week ago. The Bird will continue to post a backlog of photos once home with a decent internet connection.
