They rotate sections so each can have some rest without the herds stampeding over them. Actually, stilettos are good because they aerate the lawn. Makes a mess of the shoes though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Love Posted January 28 #152 Share Posted January 28 Thought I read on another recent live X thread that the welcome sparkling could be found at Cafe al Bacio? Not that I necessarily trust my memory these days haha, but might be worth a try to check there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted January 28 #153 Share Posted January 28 It seems to vary ship to ship if they are offering the sparkling wine. But if do it is on trays at Cafe al Bacio. That’s on Deck 5 same deck you embark on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted January 28 Author #154 Share Posted January 28 49 minutes ago, Itchy&Scratchy said: it's definitely real. Looks very sad. speaking of attractions, do you see any ping pong tables, and is pickleball available on the ship? 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 saw them by the elevators. Indeed a strange place for it. I will keep my eyes peeled for a set outdoors as well as pickleball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hopeful but honestly I've never found the buffet here to be very good. Dining room is usually much better though. 46 minutes ago, Itchy&Scratchy said: as a mom who makes sure the kid is fed first, I've always "enjoyed" cold buffet food.... 😞 So, to me it makes no difference if the food started out nice and hot. I'll have to do better next time at eating quicker to see if it started out at the proper temperature. It just opened before I got there so one would think it would still be fresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way better cakes over there although the new pre cut cakes aren't that good the ones they slice from the whole cake are quite tasty. These were meh but glad I tried them. The Cafe al bacio desserts are much better and so are the ice cream and bread puddings. I won't go hungry for sure. 39 minutes ago, exlondoner said: Actually, stilettos are good because they aerate the lawn. Makes a mess of the shoes though. Interesting. I don't know why they say that then. I don't wear heels so I'm good either way 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 28 Author #158 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Got my exercise before going to the gym. Elevators were mobbed sou took the stairs. Stopped off at the room instead to charge the phone. I was careful to not make a mess in case they room was not ready for me. Got a little charge and left the room since I'm not supposed to be there yet. Now I'm at the gym 🏋️. Getting in two miles then may peek at the sauna but I want to see if al bacio has the welcome drink for me before they put it away.

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 28 Author #164 Share Posted January 28 No bubbly here either. I'm on the fence about what to do now. Drinks are free at the casino for players but I have no idea if the service is sufficient to be worthwhile. I planned to test it out before dinner but they don't indicate free drinks until 6. I may purchase a bottle at dinner. I don't really need two bottles but one is not going to get me through the night unless i fall asleep. I'm sure I could buy a bottle from the wine bar though if the casino bar service is too slow instead of dinner. Happy this is my biggest problem to tackle right now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the overhead announcements that come into the room. Hard to sleep through seven long blasts followed by one long blast on the ship's speaker 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked another bartender and it's a no go. No welcome aboard bubbly for me today. Somewhere I read that it is in Cafe Al Bacio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
