It was a reasonable ratio of bread to crab/filler fish 39 minutes ago, techteach said: Crab cake was going very good. Had a nice flavor and lots of crab. I love the apple slaw it came with, I don't remember that before. But it had some tiny bones in it. That's a major texture issue for me. Instant appetite killer. Wish I'd gone for the mushrooms now. @jam19872016 Crab cake with tiny bones…something fishy about that. No bones in a crab. Do you you think they were tiny pieces of the cartilage or did they use an additional filler fish? FYI - looking through lots of cake recipes and wish I had a some cream cheese. Probably a filler fish but I'm not sure. It wasn't pleasant whatever it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojitos24 Posted October 30, 2023 #3003 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Has the locker room been redone like they did on the Carnival Conquest last year ? 4 hours ago, jam19872016 said: The ac in the gym has been fixed.

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 30, 2023 Author #3004 Share Posted October 30, 2023 That cheesecake was very good. I don't know how it's taken me this long to try a slice of that but glad I finally did. I'm going to say the cheesecake at the steakhouse is still better by a tiny margin, but then you can't buy just that you have to buy the whole meal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always one of our favorites, but no idea if it has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to remember it next time that happens. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change lockers, floors, the setup for the shower(now with doors) and they changed the orientation for acces for the steam and sauna. Look at my pictures from last March on the Conquest. We were supposed to do the trans-atlantic in the Freedom with you but we changed our plans for this year. Have a nice trip back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the floors around the showers were redone, as water used to bubble up from under the tiles and I have not noticed that yet. I'm surprised to see an investment being made in this area. Very nice. Explorer of the Seas had a nice new refurbishment to their locker room area this year also. Edited to add I'm assuming it was refurbished as it was just out of dry dock and looked immaculate. If it wasn't, the upkeep on the area was top notch.

Cutbacks? 🙂 According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pasta Fettuccini is about 6.5 mm (~¼") wide. Linguine is flattened spaghetti. Someone in the kitchen appears to be pasta challenged. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wynkys Posted October 31, 2023 #3022 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Enjoy your last week and then look forward to the next one you have planned. I have thoroughly enjoyed following along and you and your mom are obviously well-suited travelling companions. I like your self-deprecating style of reporting and admire your capacity for enjoying the food on offer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course it does. It was the stuff with the salmon I thought was being described as fettuccine, and of course it isn’t. Apologies all round and to the menu writers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
