Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #177 Share Posted June 13 Last night was an early night for us, we called it about 9 and went back to the cabin to watch a movie. Oceans 8 is pretty good! We rocked and rolled on the way to Amber Cove. Made for great sleep! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #178 Share Posted June 13 Welcome to Amber Cove! We slept in until 845 today, since we had no plans to get off the ship. We went to visit Setyo for go-go juice (aka coffee) and then went to Lido for breakfast. Huervos rancheros, no eggs, for the win! It was also towel animal invasion day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #179 Share Posted June 13 After we finished eating I told Chris I wanted to head to the upper decks to look around, and we got to watch Venezia dock. I don’t think we have ever stood and watched another ship dock next to us before. I admire the abilities of the captains of these vessels, and the precision it must take to dock a big ship in moving water! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #180 Share Posted June 13 We got a good look at the Terrazza (however you spell it) area. If only it had a pool, like the Havana area! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #181 Share Posted June 13 Came back to the room, and our toilet isn’t flushing. Got a call in to maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #184 Share Posted June 13 Toilet problem was fixed very promptly! I meant to post that earlier, but was distracted by Cipriano (I can’t remember correct spelling right now!) and the Havana area and friends we were chatting to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #185 Share Posted June 13 Where did I leave off? I think it was pre-lunch, right after Venezia docked beside us. We literally spent all afternoon until now (4:30) in Havana. The secret is out about my raspberry margaritas, on the rocks, with repasado (excuse my lack of spelling skills) tequila…I had a pool full of people ordering them from my friend C at the bar. Luckily he makes most of them with Patron and is saving my “other” tequila for requests! I had a Guy’s burger for lunch about 115…my one and only this cruise, and it was actually good! Not dry and flavorless like previous cruises…it actually had a buttery, slightly garlic, good flavor to it. Yum! Back to the pool for the afternoon, we sailed at about 3 after paging for 2 families. Now it’s time to get ready for elegant night #2. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #187 Share Posted June 13 We went to the Reflections MDR, deck 3 forward, for our first (and only) assigned dining this cruise. Carlos and Princess Diane were wonderful and so quick with service! The calamari were good, and spinach salad very good. Crawfish fettuccine was ok but didn’t have much crawfish (maybe 4 pieces?) and had been sitting a while…it wasn’t very warm. Still had good flavor tho. The cream brûlée…delicious! Now for a “something spicy and guava” from Mirela. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #188 Share Posted June 13 Comedians onboard this leg: Jersey and Mark Hawkins. Currently in Punchliner waiting for the 7:30 Mark Hawkings 18+ show titled “You Want Whine?” Got here at 7, no line, and lots of seats (good ones too!) still left at 7:11. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 13 Author #189 Share Posted June 13 Current chair sitch for comedy at 7:17. Chairs behind us (along the wall) also readily available. Maybe since it’s elegant night the early comedy isn’t as popular? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted June 13 #190 Share Posted June 13 That crawfish fettuccine is hit or miss. I've had it where it was my best meal of the cruise ( loaded with crawfish), and I've had it where it has had almost no meat at all and not very flavorful. Because of this I started getting it as a starter instead of an entree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was delicious last time I cruised with mom! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 14 Author #192 Share Posted June 14 Mark’s 7:30 show was good. Im not sad we went, however, he wasn’t the best comedian we have ever seen. I may try and go to another show if I manage to stay awake and there’s nothing else going on I want to see/do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 14 Author #193 Share Posted June 14 Went to visit Setyo for a late night (ok not really, but whatevs) espressotini to take to Red Frog for cheering Chris on in beer pong. He’s reliving his college days 😂 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 14 Author #194 Share Posted June 14 LOVING the steel drum music on Red Frog Pub! Chris & his friend didn’t do so well in beer pong tonight. 😖 Oh well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 14 Author #195 Share Posted June 14 We called it a day about 1145 last night. It was a fun evening chatting with people we had met all cruise long. However, about 1:00 something hit me hard, and I do not think it’s alcohol. I have been sick all night and all morning from both ways. I sent Chris to get crackers to see if they will help, and more waters so I can stay hydrated, and also to Guest Services just in case others are feeling ill. Today isn’t going to be a fun day at sea unless this turns around. Ugh the trip home tomorrow too will be torture! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted June 14 #196 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Sick from both ways sounds like noro or food poisoning. If you can eat a little but still have diarrhea, try to eat some yoghurt. Diarrhea washes out the bad bugs, but takes the good ones too. Yoghurt puts the good ones back. EM Edited June 14 by Essiesmom 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got hit one night and it prevented me from getting off the ship at HMC. Thankfully, by 10am I was able to drink bloody marys. I hope your recovery is as good as mine. 😎 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think of yogurt, I’ll try and have Chris hunt some up. I did manage to keep a 1/4 of a 1/2 a dry bagel down a bit ago. 2 hours ago, Jamman54 said: Feel better!

The only saving grace is are weather right now is liquid sunshine, so at least I don’t feel like I’m missing out on sun & fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
