Rare jam19872016 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #751 Share Posted December 8, 2023 That was good with a nice ratio of breading to meat. The sauce and cabbage slaw paired well with it. Chicken roulade and honey glazed pork loin 639. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #753 Share Posted December 9, 2023 That chicken was surprisingly moist and had a wonderful flavor The sides were delicious and I enjoyed everything about it and would order again. The pork on the other hand was dried out with sides that landed just on the wrong side of bland. The dessert is one of my favorites and this was one of the best it has ever been. I ordered the key lime pie as well but both of the people at the table next to me ordered it, took one bite and said there was something very wrong with it and didn't eat anymore so I didnt bother to ask for it. Service was flying tonight and I appreciated that! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #754 Share Posted December 9, 2023 After dinner I intended to go watch Flick since I finished in time but I ended up spending some time outside on the deck listening to the water roll by and reading on my phone. I'd like to make it out and watch the late show or the piano bar, but I think I am going to make it an early night tonight and go ahead and wrap it up. How quickly I am taking the piano bar for granted 😆. Next up, a fun day at sea on the way back to Miami to start the third leg. Good night everyone. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say that the pork was obviously overcooked. But pork loin has to be tough for a kitchen for hundreds-to-thousands to cook right. I'll avoid it anytime. But cooking it myself... can be the perfect choice!!! Edited December 9, 2023 by VictorWI typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #758 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Good morning. I am happy to report that I was not attacked by towel animals in my sleep last night. I was feeling a little peckish so I went out and grabbed a hot dog from the deli and then landed in the casino. I wanted to push my sleeping habits a little earlier since I know I have to be up tomorrow and wanted to do better this week than last but it ended up being after 130 before I left the casino. Had a decent run at least. Now it's almost noon and I'm just getting up but I am off to sieze the day. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #759 Share Posted December 9, 2023 @exlondoner It finally showed up late last night. Now it was pretty quiet out this late, and I am sure when it reached its final display point, people will not be able to get as close to it as I did. But curiosity got the better of me and I touched the mountain top expected it to be cardboard. That is actual frosting! Now with a finger smudge in it. I also don't see a sign on it saying not to eat it. I'm sure it will whereever it ends up. Also did a late night salt and pepper check Looks like they are ready for the breakfast crowd. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I expected from the chicken. I thought for sure it would be dried out and overcooked but it really came out so nice and juicy. The pork, blah. I've gotten the jerk pork and it's usually very good, but then again, it is covered in a lot of sauce so one would be less likely to notice if it got overcooked. 3 hours ago, purpleally said: Yes, oh 💩 is too negative.

I just think it's funny 😁 plus it's used in reaction to something that has gone wrong so I guess it's supposed to be a show of support for the unfortunate situation the op has found themselves in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those cruets look pretty well matched. Although I think gingerbread villages are ridiculous, I have to say I like the Cunard ones better: they are more gingerbready and less gaudy. But I would say that, wouldn’t I? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #767 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Some stats from the q and a. Under 18 500 something 35% blue card 500-600 diamond and platinum He was asked how many onboard but I think he forgot the answer. Mike is the youngest CD in the fleet. He claims he's 25 I still think he is skipping class today. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudy fits the theme well for Carnival ships of this Era. They are well known for being over the top and tacky, for better or worse. I'll need to book a Christmas time cruise on Cunard to compare for myself. This has been added. Not exactly inedible, just please don't. Still has some inconsiderate person's fingerprint smashed in the mountain side. Some people 🙄. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #771 Share Posted December 9, 2023 No coffee cards, but they said once I hit 6, the next one is free as they can look it up. I can confirm they honored the promotion even though the card seems to be eliminated (freedom didn't have anymore either, they had taken to making photo copies of their last batch). I think the strawberries may have just run out, the dipped strawberries are unavailable for purchase so it is possible the jello on the cheesecake is temporary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not cute at all. It looks like a dangerous mammoth. Are you moving cabins again? Perhaps into a massive suite? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is potential for a whole lot of animals to accumulate 🤣 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
