Rare jam19872016 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #726 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Good morning. I stayed out late enough I was mostly able to roll over and sleep through the crew drill alarms going off. I also seem to have somehow injured myself. My right arm is very sore and tender this morning. I don't know what that's about? Today we are back in Amber Cove and like last week, I don't think I will be getting off the ship. These cruise line developed port stops don't really interest me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is the plating… I am amazed I was able to plate it at all. I was happy nobody had video of me struggling with the tongs. Thankfully, everyone at the buffet at 1230 in the morning is having the same motor function challenges 🤣 I did have enough sense of mind left to know to avoid the turkey sandwich since i knew it was most likely leftover from the deli amd their suspect cold case 😱 6 hours ago, exlondoner said: And while you are there, check on cruet compliance. I might try to sneak a peak. I will also follow up on the salt and pepper situation. With an inspection yesterday, they should be on top of it, or maybe they just took all of them out of service like they did at the deli. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my spiked milk shakes at least one of the times, the shake was too thick for that straw to be usable. But I brought my own milk shake straw, so I was ready. 42 minutes ago, JandPB said: We pack our own stainless and/or silicone straws. So much easier than using the slimy candy straws. They seem more durable than they used to be and much less slimy. I usually pack my own plastic straws but I forgot them this trip. I guess I am going to have to be the kind of person who keeps a packing list because I'm getting more and more forgetful these days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never given it much thought before, but I imagine people sneezing over the salt and pepper or handling them with unwashed hands is as much of a health hazard as most things. Luckily I never have either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been one to worry about "germy" things but I have always thought those things sitting out with everyone touching them was pretty gross but meanwhile buffet tongs get all the paranoia from the crowd that worries about such things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #736 Share Posted December 8, 2023 After the salad fiasco yesterday I went with a tacoless taco salad today. Then I went tontje salad bar to fill it in a little since they seemed afraid to put anything in my bowl 😆 Lasagna from the pasta bar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #739 Share Posted December 8, 2023 That salad is the one I should have been doing the whole time! Grilled shrimp and corn, yes please. I've had the lasagna before. I like it and know what to expect. Be aware, it is made with shredded beef like every authentic lasagna nowhere. If your ok with that, it is quite tasty. Desserts were better today too. Now I'm enjoying a coffee. There is a light sprinkle but my swing bench is covered. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #741 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I've always eyed that tasty looking cheesecake at the coffee bar with the whole fresh strawberries on top. I finally tried a slice on my last cruise and looks like I did so just in time. The strawberries have been replaced with....strawberry jello? This was the best angle I could get without my reflection photo bombing the shot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #744 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Stuart also left his paperwork in the room. It does not include if gratuities were pre-paid or not or anything of much interest. I did count how many rooms he has, 32. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went to sleep with those in the cabin, I’d be worried I’d never wake up. 32 is a hell of a lot of rooms. Mind you, if he didn’t have to do those daft animals, he could do 38. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a great idea for a horror movie. It is a lot of rooms, but they don't offer turn down service on Carnival. It's once a day room servicing. People also like to claim they have 40-50 rooms and taking that into consideration, 32 is actually not as many as people would have you believe. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
