I see just about that view when I am at our place in St. Maarten. It’s only about 28 miles away and our place looks directly out at Saba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise pictures. =). 🍹 In March we ate there and did not care for the main course. We had brisket and the ribs and both were so hard to chew we finally gave up. Dried and hard.

Everything we had was good except I had the ***** Burger, no bacon, and the taste was good but the texture freaked me out. It was the grind. I ate half. Tonight my dad had the ribs as an app and he said they were good, not dry at all. Someone else had them as part of the main course and they were dry. You could see how dry they were. Someone had the brisket and enjoyed it. 4 of us had filet and it was very good. My dad had the seafood kabobs and t-bone and both were good. All sides, apps and desserts were very good as well. Out of two meals and 'lots of food ordered between the 6 of us, only 2 misses. The ribs though, other orders were good. 🍹 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 20 #330 Share Posted April 20 We ate at the Rooftop Garden Grill on ASCENT. Had to ask the adjacent Pickle ballers to stop their overtime play..Plink Plink. ..It was a beautiful night. calm waters, stars etc! Service and food were very good but it was a very casual venue with tables closely situated and a few large groups. We would skip it next time.except maybe for lunch..if no Pickleball. I recall lunch portions were huge on other ships.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very neat you know someone who visited. 🍹 This reminds me of landing on St Barts, they go between two mountains and then cut the engines so the plane glides down onto a very short runway with a beach at the end of it. Very Cool! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t normally have a problem with food texture! I can’t believe you were able to eat half of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The texture got really weird in the middle. It wasn't as bad around the perimeter of that half but once I got to that texture, I couldn't eat anymore. 😆 It's ashame because it had a good taste but couldn't get past the texture. At Lawn Club on the Reflection, 7 years ago, we went for lunch and the burgers were excellent. No texture issues at all.

I recall lunch portions were huge on other ships.. We had the same table both nights. Right by the kitchen. When we ate there last time on here, there were 4 of us and our tables weren't close to anyone but there are some two tops that are closer than others. No pickelball when we've been. It seems pickleball is in the late morning, early afternoon now, but not everyday. If eating during lunch, then yes it might be at the same time. For dinner, you only really hear the sounds of the restaurant itself. 🍹 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted April 20 #344 Share Posted April 20 Can you find out if Caleb Crawford, who does the "Beyond the Podium", will be on next cruise, please? We board April 27. His presentations look very interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Pearl Posted April 20 #345 Share Posted April 20 I see the notice about "Not reserving deck chairs", have you noticed if they are taking it seriously? It's so frustrating to look for a chair by the pool only to find them all filled with belongings, but no one in sight, ever! Just currious. Hope you've had a great cruise and thank you for sharing. I'm onboard Apex next week. -Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiosFan Posted April 20 #347 Share Posted April 20 Do you know when Captain Kate finishes her tour? I understand it has been extended “ a few weeks” but don’t know exactly when she leaves. We’re boarding May 12th with fingers crossed. The only other time I sailed with her, I missed Bug. Would love to sail with her again. great LIVE.

Rare PinkSandGirl Posted April 22 Author #348 Share Posted April 22 Day 10 - Sea Day The last day. Fooey! You know how it is. A wonderful trip. Always sad to leave but always nice to go home. We have a late afternoon flight so we'll eat breakfast in Luminae then hang out in the Retreat Lounge until they kick us off. I am writing this after midnight so it is now technically Day 11. 🍹 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
