I am not a fan of Prime Rib, however, Suzi is, and she is envious as she has never had a portion that big on a HAL ship. You're not alone. We've never seen a slice that large either. Michelle was wondering when the other three people were going to show up to help her eat it. 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a slightly different format. They show a deck plan with the locations of the various installations. Very much looking forward to that. It's a big ship to wander around in and a map would be ideal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted April 3 Author #206 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Our verdict on Chogogo? It's definitely worth the $25 per person cost. Just remember that they limit the number of day passes to 30 people per day. You'll want to be up and off the ship early because the resort desk opens at 8:00 AM. A taxi from the pier to the resort is $15. Same price for the return trip. We shared a minivan cab with another couple from the Rotterdam, who just like us, thought that they were the only ones who knew about it. We're in port with the RCCL Rhapsody of the Seas. We had the earlier docking time, which helped. Even so, there were 10 people in front of us. I put the link below, in case you want to see the menus. As a point of reference, your $10 back on the $25 day pass fee will get you two beers. https://chogogobonaire.com/beach/ Edited April 3 by POA1 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted April 3 Author #207 Share Posted April 3 Here's what we're not having for dinner in Club Orange tonight. We're going to the Morimoto pop up in Tamarind at 7:00. co_mdr_dinner_day_6.pdf 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted April 3 Author #208 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Here's what we are having. We're going to cover all the bases, except for the ramen on the appetizers. If you are guessing that Michelle is ordering the Dark Chocolate Sphere, pat yourself on the back. You are a winner! morimoto-by-sea.pdf Edited April 3 by POA1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted April 3 Author #209 Share Posted April 3 You know those plaques you encounter in the hallways around ship? I enjoy reading them. I found one for Joska, a guide dog. It commemorates his reaching 700 days aboard Holland America vessels. The plaque reads: 26 October 2022 Guide dog Joska for 700 nights on a Holland America Line cruise ship. Blindguide dog Joska 700 nights on a Holland America Line cruise ship Joska has sailed so far on: Joska has sailed so far on: Ms. Amsterdam - Ms. Eurodam - Ms. Koningsdam - Ms. Maasdam - Ms. New Amsterdam - Ms. Nieuw Statendam - Ms. Oosterdam - Ms. Prinsendam - Ms. Rijndam - Ms. Rotterdam - Ms. Veendam - Ms. Westerdam - Ms. Zaandam - Ms. Zuiderdam Joska is a blindguide dog from KNGF (The Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation) There is also one from our home port, Port Everglades. There is a PEV plaque on every HAL ship currently sailing. (The puppy plaque is way cooler though.) 17 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted April 3 #210 Share Posted April 3 Looking forward to your experience on Morimoto! Normally I would go for chocolate-anything, but I recall reading someone said how good the white chocolate lime ganache was. Well I guess white chocolate would count, too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning toward the Tofu Cheesecake. It almost seems like it would be a dare. Tofu? In cheesecake? My dessert choice is almost always the one Michelle would get if she didn't choose the one she ordered. (I'm usually the dessert backstop guy.) I may throw this out to our server and see what's suggested. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted April 3 Author #215 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Saw these signs by the pool towels around the ship. I have no idea how much they enforce the 30 minute rule, but it could give cover for vigilante pool chair justice. PLEASE DO NOT RESERVE POOL DECK CHAIRS CHAIRS LEFT UNOCCUPIED OR RESERVED FOR OVER 30 MINUTES WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER GUESTS Edited April 3 by POA1 Added sign text 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec on K'dam, I got a copy - like NS, it did not have a deck plan. I really like the idea of including a deck plan for a more in-depth experience. I'm so excited!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted April 3 #225 Share Posted April 3 I just have to say that slab of beef is quite a benchmark. Did others get a similar portion? I wish I had some witty remark but words escape me. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
