We had snow last night, but it disappeared overnight when the rain came through. Now we just have a little bit sticking to the grass. Heading further down into the Hudson valley this afternoon to pick up our Thanksgiving pies. Enjoy the warm weather while you can! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had an electric bill for almost seven years. We manage to still require support from grid. One of our biggest draws is charging the electric car. We usually run under 5 kW, even running the dryer. Plug in the electric car and 10 kW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JIMESOPUS Posted November 22, 2023 Author #259 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Dinner with officers - jackpot !! Staff Captain Doro Manzi and GM Nelson Martins 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColdCruise Posted November 23, 2023 #260 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I have to say Nelson Martins (GM) is by far the most available, and affable, person in that role that I’ve encountered. He tells a good story, is humorous, gives straight answers (or they seem straight) and is all over the Viva interacting with pax. In general I see more higher officers in Viva than I did in Prima. hope your dinner was enjoyable @JIMESOPUS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice afternoon surprise on a sea day. I might have shed a small droplet when Kevin Fagan sang Bring Him Home from Les Miserable. Also enjoyed their rendition of Aerosmith’s Dream On.

Les Miz is my second favorite musical right after Sound of Music. Not sure I'll get to see Kevin Fagan on my March '25 Viva cruise though to hear him sing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted November 23, 2023 #267 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Jim, in checking out the bars have you found Clarence (Chocolate Cowboy)??

Rare JIMESOPUS Posted November 23, 2023 Author #271 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Maybe it's just us, or our timing but the experience at Hudson's has been terrible constantly. Today for lunch, service was super fast in seating and ordering our food, 35 minutes later the cheeseburger was still MIA, looking around it appeared that the same thing was happening to others. When the burger finally made it's appearance it was hot but way under cooked. This could be the reason that there is always a line for Commodore Room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the burger finally made it's appearance it was hot but way under cooked. This could be the reason that there is always a line for Commodore Room I don’t have much patience for a long, drawn out lunch at the MDR, so it’s armed to armed combat for me either at the buffet or at Indulge. The Local I reserve for special late night binging. Perhaps I will try lunch at the Local either tomorrow or on last sea day. Don’t think I will venture out tomorrow in St. Thomas. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JIMESOPUS Posted November 23, 2023 Author #275 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Really no mashed potatoes, had to ask for a side dish. Great service, hot food and a complete meal under 45 minutes at the Commodore Room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
