Eggs2Go Posted March 16 #551 Share Posted March 16 I'm having so much fun reading your live review. Supposed to be cleaning my house today, but keep coming back to you. Agree Jersey Boys wonderful show. I saw on Broadway and have been several times on NCL and really think better on the ship. Perhaps the small theater in Bliss makes it more personal. (trivia answer Frankie Valli). Of course, I'm booked to see again when onboard -- one more week to go before I sail away. Oh your mention of Million Dollar Quartet brings back memories. Best of the best (the fourth guy is Carl Perkins). The incredibly talented Jared Freiburg was Jerry Lee Lewis. He still performs on cruise ships, now with his trio The Vagabonds. In 2024 mostly scheduled on Celebrity and Princess. But does list a Norwegian Escape date of 6/23 - 7/3 (Barcelona to Venice). Also listed is Norwegian Jewel on 11/17 -11/24 but that cruise not shown on NCL website, so perhaps private. You can see all the details plus a You Tube video on his website www.jfreiburg.com Your food pics have me salivating. That Indian food in the buffet available anytime, breakfast-lunch-dinner, and such a treat. The guacamole in Los Lobos. Like you, I order the cod and asparagus at Ocean Blue and as a Floridian must have key lime pie. Where will you dine tonight? If can't get into Le Bistro, perhaps try La Cucina. Always seems delicious to me. And remember to get the tiramisu. Yikes, weather only 63 today. You must be getting close to California. I'll be bringing a jacket along. Wishing you a happy last day onboard (wine tasting will guarantee that) and a good disembark on St Patty's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted March 16 Author #552 Share Posted March 16 taste lunch was really good! 55 minutes start to finish. Two glasses of wine. Two apps two entrees. First course - bistro salad - solid salad bay scallops gratin- flavorful bay scallops and a whole lotta butter -‘heavy for lunch! entrees - spaghetti carbonara- 7/10 - perfect lunch size, bacon flavor was just right, just the right amount of cheese - only needed to be warmer - chicken Milanese- really good- loved this! But chicken also could hav been warmer. Arugula salad and lemon- perfection! 8/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted March 16 Author #553 Share Posted March 16 The lobby continues to rock- people love this stuff. I still long for a quiet hotel resort style lobby, but I realize I’m in the minority… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sitting in there last April with the bar closed. It was just a nice view with low conversation or reading. Dunno if it was a one off or what exactly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this because I enjoy it - i relax by being busy- ha! I also enjoy the chronicle that it creates. Super excited for your sailing in just a week! Pre-cruise is so much fun- I love the planning! Yes. Temperatures have hit the full range from chilly today, cold the first night to hot in Mazatlan! Pack for it all!’ thanks for your comments on entertainment -‘I hate to see folks saying “good riddance” - I dont get to take my girls to broadway shows often and we always find them memorable! Million dollar quartet was my late father’s favorite show ever - shared family memories- priceless!! thanks again for coming along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted March 16 Author #558 Share Posted March 16 My DH eats at off times. He’s a “coffee for breakfast” guy and typically eats later in the day. He keeps hitting the buffet when it is closed. Alarm set for Ice Cream Thirty today so he gets ice cream before they close! I told him there was ice cream on the dessert menu today, but he was too full… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs2Go Posted March 16 #564 Share Posted March 16 Hey, Lush, guess you're referring to an Alaska sailing. After the Mexican Riviera trip I'll be staying on the Bliss for the Pacific Coastal, but jumping off when we reach Vancouver. Back in 2019 I was on the Bliss to Alaska in July. It was beautiful and very enjoyable but I was so cold. Had on longjohns, a woolen cap, and everything else. I admire you for having the fortitude to sail to Alaska in April.

Lush LaRue Posted March 16 #566 Share Posted March 16 49 minutes ago, Eggs2Go said: admire you for having the fortitude to sail to Alaska in April Yep! I’ll be on the 2nd lucky sailing on the 13th. I will also be spending 2-3 hours tucked in on a lounger, Vibe side, for a Battle Creek Sanitarium cold weather, invigorating experience. 😆 I did the same, 2nd sailing last year around the 20th (waves to readers posting that sailed with me!). Didn’t find weather bad, but I’m from Seattle and 30s nights and mid-40s days is our normal winter. if you are posting live, it will be great to know how it goes - it seemed that we had a lot of crew turnover after LA, and there were some quick learning opportunities for staff in how to adjust to the Bliss.

One of the best feelings I've had in recent years. Very addictive though.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
