2/11/24 LIVE Super Bowl Sunday Cruise from Manhattan to Anitgua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Maarten...

The atrium is beautiful but not huge. The symbol of Venice,  the winged lion, apparently is not impressed with the string trio and appears to either be mooning them or ready to take a dump.

Bonsai Teppanyaki and Bonsai Sushi are next,  I survived the shopping gauntlet but I still smell the perfume.

Il Viaggio Ristorante 

[IntrepidFromDC]

Then Frizzante and 3 or 4 more bars...

[IntrepidFromDC]

You can peek at the casino on deck 4 from deck 5.

[IntrepidFromDC]

There is a spacious outdoor seating area all the way aft, and deck 5 also has an outdoor promenade on both port and starboard sides. No pic cuz it was cold and I'm in shorts.

[IntrepidFromDC]

Deck 5 is inviting and I'll be revisiting each of the bars during the cruise.  I don't get first-name basis with the bartenders to the point I have favorites or remember their names next time I see them,  but I remember faces.

Then there are alot of shops walking toward the middle of the ship and atrium. Alot. This is just a bit...

Are they actually selling Bvlgari and Cartier on this ship or have they just not changed the shops over? 

[IntrepidFromDC]

Fun, American Style. The two largest venues showing Super Bowl,  Lido seaside theater and Teatro Rosso.  All the casino TVs are tuned in too. Casino is smoky hell except for the non-smoking casino-closet. Sure, they have a fancy name for it, "casino annex" but I know a closet when I'm in one. 

[IntrepidFromDC]

Sailaway starting so I caught a few pics of Intrepid. Before someone asks,  no the ship wasn't named after me. Not THAT old.

[IntrepidFromDC]

Sailaway,  passing lower Manhattan and Statue of Liberty...

I wound up at Lido Marketplace for dinner. Salmon was very good,  thanks for the suggestion.

Bocci ball? I played that inside a restaurant in NYC called Il Vagabondo in the 80’s.

Just enjoying a delicious pizza after the casino closed...

Aloha. Love your pictures. Grew up watching them build the WTC then sadly when it fell because of the sub humans.  Lived across the street also. But the pictures of Ms Liberty which I am blessed to see from my windows never cease to impress.  Have a wonderful voyage!

My favorite!  Looks tasty!!

Fun day at sea...

[IntrepidFromDC]

I had lunch at La Strada grill. Except for the sauces at the end of the buffet line,  everything could b ed found at Lido Marketplace.  Nothing special but not bad. For example,  the Italian Sausages taste like a bargain brand you'd pick up at local grocers freezer section.  I did like the animated digital wall art of Palazzo Ducale and Bridge of Sighs.
