Standard classic chef recipe for scrambled eggs. The only noticeable difference in the cooking process is that they then cook them in the same tray that they use to serve them, which is why they have a uniform consistency. BTW, the world record for cracking eggs (one handed) is 18 in 30 seconds. I always make my scrambled eggs at home with milk, 1 tbsp per egg. It makes them softer and fluffier. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh eggs are substantially less expensive per dozen than the ones that come pre made in a milk carton (~$4/dozen vs ~$11/dozen), and you can use them for any egg prep unlike premade which can only be used for scrambles or omelettes. Always watched though Modern Marvels type shows. One on Eggs, not perfect ones would go into the premade Milk Cartoon type... When got Hired as Burger King MGR almost 40yrs ago couldn't believe they cracked every egg for Breakfast Sandwiches, but that order came from Corporate. Thinking about it they always mixed milk into eggs also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Andrew Zimmern the cheeks are to die for. I'd rather die than try them. Unless I'm on Survivor going for the million dollars. 🤑 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems this is a rather unusual cruise for RCI...so it is a rather unusual situation. Not sure this was really thought out in advance. 🤨 We have been to a number of ports in Europe that were working ports, and buses were used to take cruise ship passengers out of the secure area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get around the crappy scrambled eggs by getting a completely plain omelet. I have ordered fresh scrambled eggs with some tomatoes or spinach (sometimes a little cheese) at the omelet station occasionally. They do a good job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think so There's lots of speculation they won't as it didn't sell out. That's good for the cruisers, but not the cruise line. They probably need to rethink the length. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Assuming that does not change). Hard to tell. But I think at least this sailing has been worth it for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that even with less than 100% occupancy the free publicity and "halo effect" is likely to generate new bookings fleetwide well in excess of the reduced profit from a less than full ship. It will be interesting to see if later segments see higher occupancy from all the exposure the trip is generating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mamamia.com.au) Hm. That must have been why the Today video interviews said that there was not drama 🤷♂️. But pins vs others is not a new thing and SOMEONE was going to complain about drama - that happens on a one week cruise. Not surprised. Also not judging - it could be a way to create views or RCCL giving those who have spent a lot with the company more face time. I’ve seen both and heard as much in these forums and on my trips. But if this isn’t real (or if it isn’t s just one passenger), there will be some other drama later I’m sure. The clique-ish nature of humans is one reason I would think very hard about this trip if I ever did have enough money and time to do it. so I will sit here on this thread and live vicariously through those actually on the trip. Hope you are enjoying your trip! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the European sectors are almost sold out. Just a handful of cabins available. Will be interesting to see how busy the next quarter is. You can still buy the mini sectors. Other cruise lines do annual world cruises, so never say never Thanks for all the updates @island lady As I dont do the other social media sites its great you're doing this on CC Edited December 29, 2023 by sgmn 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser99365Girl Posted December 29, 2023 #1149 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Just catching up on the most recent comments and discussion here. I'll be on the segment from Buenos Aires to Valparaiso then on to LAX. Will report in with any pertinent observations. Between the TikTok and the YouTube content creators it sounds like it will be busier than the average cruise. ( I'm not a social media content creator). Thank you all for your time. Have the best day you can. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am l like you, I don't do the other media sites.....though from what I have heard, this cruise is a media sensation! Even the crew is talking about it all the time. I like CC for being a more laid back and calm site. 😉 Indeed, I checked on the last quarter...looks totally booked, unlike this quarter that had many inside, outside, and balcony cabins left to book. Since they were not, we are treated to a ship that is not crowded, has good service, and very little shortages. 🥰 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
