Hint. The filet at Le Bistro was ordered without Foie. Edited August 21 by BirdTravels 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how can I do that if i don't know what they are? My point is, many do not recognize these items. Me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkritter Posted August 21 #304 Share Posted August 21 The Onda food looks like: Bread service Frito Misto Yellowtail Crudo Branzino? Mushrooms Trifolati Lentils Pappardelle Bolognese Panna Cotta Chocolate Gelato We ate there last Ssturday and loved the Macellaio Pizza...so much so the leftovers went back to the room. Also the Papperdelle Bolognese was very good. The Haven has a similar Frito Misto for lunch and we ordered it with Calamari only. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see them adding spice H2O, but think that maybe they could have worked the serpent into the motif if they went with a grotto theme. Maybe have it pop out and hover over one of the warm tubs. The renderings of the new Spice H2O do look clean though. Maybe removing the serpent is for the best.

I am actually surprised to see so much water back there. The ship is already very heavy back there due to the supersized race track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Sugarcane, that sounds like our approach. Tough to do in one night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you're right. I went back and looked at my Prima pictures and the water is more show than function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I'm kind of a smart aleck at times and I was really tempted to just lie down on my back in the ankle pool. But as it was a cold weather cruise to begin with and nobody was out on deck except me, I fought the urge successfully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Encore was purpose-built for Alaska. Ceiling heaters in outside dining areas. Heated pools, slides, water features. Now, the pools are heated to pool water temperatures (78 degrees-ish). Not hot tub temperatures (102 degrees). People say “the water is cold” but it is a normal temp all year. Yeah, the sun and bodies will warm the water a few degrees.
