Fan made it. Agent was training someone so I was super worried but no issues.

 

Waiting to board now.

It looks so empty. Is that because you are very early?

[jam19872016]

Boarding getting ready to start.

I'm in the special assistance area with my mom it's a little more crowded in the main area but still pretty uncrowded in here.

[jam19872016]

Boarding began at 1058. Almost there just waiting on the elevator to spit my mom out.

 

[jam19872016]

I see lots of paper being loaded. Hope they got plenty of food being loaded somewhere 😜

 

 

Elevator finally released my mom. Off we go.

[jam19872016]

Home away from home for 12 days.

Looks like a comfy cozy nest!  Enjoy.

[exlondoner]

Hope they clean the window for you.

[jam19872016]

Took care of mustard.

 

Welcome aboard drinks at the martini bar so grabbed one for each of us and out in the room for tonight.

 

Now  heading to get lunch.

[jam19872016]

Starting with a salad. 

 

 

Came back to the table and my mom was already checking out the salt and pepper.

Bed looks a little small but maybe I'm just used to a full bed. Room is comfy other than that though.

This close to the water line probably won't stay clean for long 😅

No, they’ll have to do it at every port. Are you on the higher or lower of the two ocean view decks shown in the picture.

Is this another euphemism I don’t know, or does it mean what it says? More cruets?

Excellent. Matching but dull.

Displaying my superior plating skills.

Yes, you do have a little way to go. But what is the cream stuff that looks like congealed wallpaper paste?

[jam19872016]

And some dessert. 

 

[jam19872016]

Taking my mom to check out the library.

Lower. I like it better because I have cabins above me instead of public areas.

On Carnival boards they tend to say mustard instead of muster. They also call the Stewart, Stuart.

Scalloped potatoes. They were quite tasty.

I’m glad they are nicer than they look.

[jam19872016]

Not a big fan of buffets but the food here was decent. Everything that was supposed to be hot was, including the bread pudding. Struggled with that a bit on Reflection. 

 

Salad bar wasn't as good as Reflection but on par with Carnival and Royal. Only thing I didn't care for was the sandwich, too much bread, I scooped off the egg salad and ate it without the bread.

 

Lots of seating especially in the back but the buffet islands are set up awkwardly creating some bottlenecks.

She's found about 6 or 7 books to read. Leaving her here and heading to the gym to get some exercise in.

oh my.. looks good but heavy on carbs. Good you  ditched the bread.

 

  The salad is more my style for lunch.. looks very fresh.

 

I am  a type 2 Diabetic  so carbs are not my friends
