Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #528 Share Posted July 11 Verdict=yummy. Better than expected. I was too full to eat it all. I also only ate two slices of the pizza. They should make a small pizza so there is less food waste. I think I will use my other free casual meal at Alfredo’s again. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #530 Share Posted July 11 Carpet bowling took place outside Sabatini’s during lunch. It seems like activities where items are thrown are very popular. There is ring toss, bean bag toss and carpet bowling. We are well-prepared in the event of a person overboard since the life ring will be heaved with accuracy after all this tossing practice. 3 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JGmf Posted July 11 #533 Share Posted July 11 1 hour ago, ceilidh1 said: Everyone raves about the Tiramisu. For me, that is the most disappointing dessert ever (in general, not Alfredo’s-never tried it there). Such a waste of calories 🤣🤣 Everyone is different, of course. I love Tiramisu if I'm going to have a dessert. For me, the biggest waste of calories are those dirty banana and mud slide drinks. That's like half your daily intake right there. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have people come down and drink 5 or 6 Pina Coladas or Bushwackers or MudSlides--the Pina Colada that we made had 900 calories EACH--I'm sure that the Bushwackers and Mudslides had just as many!! 3,600 calories in JUST drinks!! YIKES!! I drink wine.... 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, been going slow around 10 nts & easy and traveling 10 kts / nm this morning. Good for fuel conservation and smooth ride / sleep & relaxing, with an icy cold one in hand, of course 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #541 Share Posted July 11 (edited) It is the Island Princess’ birthday, not my birthday! I always spend my birthday with my dad on the NCL Jewel.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted July 11 #543 Share Posted July 11 I have been on many cruises and have always wanted to order the dirty banana (minus the alcohol).

collyb83 Posted July 11 #545 Share Posted July 11 I'm really enjoying your reports! Thank you so much for sharing so many details and photos, especially with regard to food, menus, and happenings on the ship. My wife and I will be sailing on the Island Princess for our honeymoon this August – but our itinerary is Europe. Looking forward to more of your entertaining updates 😇 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted July 11 #546 Share Posted July 11 14 hours ago, capriccio said: It is my favorite - by far - production show I've seen on over 30 Princess cruises. On the Bayou was created specifically for the two level (decks 6 and 7 aft) Universe Lounge of the Coral and Island Princesses. It is a spectacular stage set up on the Coral and was on the Island until Princess decide to chop up the aft portion of the ship and add new cabins across the rear of the Island. Now On the Bayou is performed in the Island's theater. On The Bayou is vastly better on Coral Princess due to being done in the Universe Lounge. I've seen it there twice and have also seen it in the main theater on Island Princess. No comparison. It was designed for the rotating stage in Universe Lounge. Like some other folks, it's my favorite Princess show - at least to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that the "lady next to you" is me at every single arts and crafts. My teen (who is the most artsy/crafty person I know) refuses to attend with me any more as the session ALWAYS ends with me being frustrated, a few swear words, and her doing my project.

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 11 Author #550 Share Posted July 11 Since I was at the Bayou Cafe for flower making I took the opportunity to look around. I adore the New Orleans art! In preparation for dinner the tables are set. I’m getting a strong hint that this may not be the place for a vegetarian. 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
