Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #901 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The timer is broke again tonight. Now I wonder if the dining room has been as empty as I thought, could just be an inaccurate timer again. Been a long 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #902 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The internet has come to a halt. It happened when I came to dinner, so it could be my table is in a dead zone. There are definitely dead spots around the ship and this may be one. Table was assigned at 749. I will post pictures and menus later because the internet is too slow to do so now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on my Carnival cruises in 2021 and 2022 that the buffet cakes looked fabulous, really beautiful and artistic and mostly tasted very good as well. Interesting and unusual flavor profiles I’d never seen before. I would not complain because I always get too much great food on any cruise but to my taste the buffet desserts on RCI haven’t been nearly as good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #905 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Yep, just a dead zone where I was sitting. Speeds much better now. Changing back into something more comfortable and setting the bar up and then its off to the piano bar I go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who can't stomach the desserts on Carnival would be in for a real shock when they get to the Windjammer 😆. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how many pieces I had but it was more than two plus I scraped out the lower layers left behind by others. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I've seen some nice items at dinner when the YTD mess at Royal has sent me to the jammer. I love Royal and with their loyalty perks my bar and internet bill is lower but after I factor in specialty dining costs it's a wash. I really struggle with the included dining on Royal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #914 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Most cleared but being a creature of habit I really was eyeing a certain section and of course a group of seven stayed parked. Oh well I'm settled in and ready for the adult shenanigans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #915 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Not a lot of people here for Quest. I think this early in the cruise was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheelblues Posted December 12, 2023 #916 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I’m cruising on the new year’s cruise for this ship so totally reading and living vicariously through you! I haven’t seen you mention the love and marriage show yet and was wondering if they’re still having it? But so excited to hear that quest has made a return! How do you feel about the cd and the piano bar entertainer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #922 Share Posted December 12, 2023 2am pizza line. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #923 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The pizza is never great, but at 2am its usually filling the roll of last resort drunk food at least. This was pure garbage. I don't know what happened but this was terrible. They're not even trying. Shame Carnival, Shame. Out way past my bedtime. I wanted to explore Cozumel tomorrow but I may end up sleeping in through most of the day. Good news is, I've already hit 7k steps since midnight so even if I have a lie in, I should be good on steps. Thanks for following along, see everyone tomorrow from Cozumel. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #924 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) My cabin has been violently shaking for 45 minutes now. I finally got up to come see us failing to be able to dock, only to find us tied up already. And how cruel the song on the overhead right now is good vibrations. Mariner of the seas. I probably won't be able to see her once the other ships are in. I'm going to try and go back to sleep now.
