I don't particularly enjoy salads but adding a salad a day helped me I believe not gain as much last month as I did on my transatlantic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time recognizing salad as food, unless there is meat involved. Careful with the salad dressing - those are the calories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful with the salad dressing - those are the calories. I added meat and cheese. Went too heavy on the pour on the salad dressing. Definitely added too many calories there I will go lighter next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the novelty factor pretty cool use of the deck space since they don't need to devote real estate to the kids attractions. It looks a little patchy here, some of the other areas are holding up a little better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are open with a gentle reminder to not wear high heels on the grass. They rotate sections so each can have some rest without the herds stampeding over them.

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 28 Author #144 Share Posted January 28 Got mustard Asked about the welcome aboard sparkling wing at martini bar bartender had no idea what I was talking about. He asked another bartender and it's a no go. No welcome aboard bubbly for me today. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted January 28 Author #145 Share Posted January 28 Buffet lunch was average at best unfortunately. I'm not a buffet fan in general but for included options it's that or hamburgers and hot dogs. The veal cutlet was dried out other than that the food was passable but cold. Some is on me because I stopped for photos and got all three plates instead of each course individually. No way it should have gone cold that fast though. The salad was great for a salad. Very nice selection of toppings and I appreciated the seperate line instead of one long lineup like on Carnival. Dessert was again just average with a lovely orange cream kind of dessert (the one in the glass) but some that were dried out and flavorless. Will stick mostly to the bread pudding and ice cream for the most part going forward, those have always been really good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there should be ping pong tables, but the last video that I saw had them in the elevator bank foyer. Weird placement.

I know appearances aren’t everything, but I thought those freshly made while cakes that appeared sometimes on Carnival looked far more inviting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
