Saint Greg's Alaska Jewel - Live - August 28, 2023

[Saint Greg]

I’m going to go unpack. There’s not much going on right now and it’s cold and wet.

Nah sweet Caroline. I’m out.

This is the cd. Don’t know her name yet. She hosted comedy 

This is your Cruise Director, Tahani.

She was on the Jewel in February also. Now that I do the math, I realize it wasn't that long ago. I believe they do 8 month contracts. I thought the bartender extended, but both he and Tahani may have a month or 2 to go.

I’m guessing this is all smoking

 

 

because we have this

 

Actually if you see that blue sign in the middle it says no smoking. So it’s this half of it.

Sneaky. They slip the junk mail into the freestyle.

TV looks like an upgrade. This is an action movies channel with maverick on. There are also family, drama, and comedy movie channels.

Superstore on the favorite TV shows channel. That is one of my favorite tv shows.

So. Much. Junk Mail. It baffles me coming from the environmentally friendly cruise line. Also, you can find the Freestyle on the NCL app, just like Carnival. You don't need the paper, although it is easier to read in paper form.

For news I have bbc, msnbc, cnbc, Fox News. 
For sports I have only sport 21, 

[Saint Greg]

There’s a channel that scrolls through all of the movies on the various movie channels.

Carnival pretty much got rid of it post Covid but before that I was having to stop my mail.

All unpacked. Looks like I should be able to get breakfast and lunch in the MDR. That’s big for me. For those who don’t know I’m not a buffet person at all.

 

[Saint Greg]

Now that makes sense. I thought the CD said “we have the show Rocky tonight” so I was expecting a stage show based on rocky…tonight. But it’s actually a show called rock me tonight and it’s tomorrow.

Also O'Sheehans will have breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are 24 hour sit down service and beside their standard menu they will have a dinner special.

We were In The Haven on our last cruise with its own restaurant but we usually ate breakfast in the main dining room because they had the best hash browns. Also do not get the breakfast egg sandwich at O’Sheehans unless you ask for a fried egg. The scrambled eggs I got were definitely powdered and someone else mentioned the same thing on another cruise.

I like that they’re doing comedy in the big lounge but these seats…aren’t the best. 

That’s putting it mildly.

I’m afraid I may sound stupid too if I am misunderstanding your question. You can plug an American 2 prong plug into the 3 prong.

Doh! No, you did not misunderstand, and I have obviously not had enough coffee this morning!  Thank you!

pretty good. I particularly liked the shrimp cake and the dessert.

 

I found the food really good. I like that there were so many options to choose from each night, actually found myself having to decide compared to usually seeing only one thing I would like. I had a lot of favorites, too many to list lol.

Breakfast and lunch in the MDR was always numerous options also. I was really surprised the night I ordered the steak and it was an edible steak. Tender, juicy, cooked right and hot and crispy fries. Carnival needs to improve on that.

Doesn’t seem like they have a comedy host. This is the comedian. Wi-Fi is rough in the theater. Takes 15 mins to upload a pic. the comedian said we’re going to have two more shows later in the week. That makes me wonder if they only have one comedian? I heard other lines have less comedy but going from 3 shows a night to 3 shows a week would be extreme.

 

 

 

 

 

Was he funny? We had 2 comedians for our 9 night and both barely got a chuckle out of me booooo.
