In YC

We are checked in at our muster station and in the Top Sail Lounge.

 

Seated next to the front windows just to the left of center.

We are in the rearmost Starboard corner. BCD is working on a car and I am working on a champagne. 😁

 

If you feel like stopping by on the way to your cabin, we'll still be here.

It was a pleasure meeting you both.  
I was able to secure 1230 reservations for both Teppanyaki and Butcher’s cut on our two sea days.  
went back and showed my DW my exciting gift and exchanged a warm watered down welcom aboard margarita for a cold delicious sidecar. 
no soon had I rejoined my DW and taken two sips when they came up and told us our room was ready.  
so we went to our room, organized our carry on items and are now debating about lunch.

 

i love my gift from BCD!

Ahhh, the memories. Waiting for the inconsiderate ZEROES to mosey over to the last luggage and pass the facial recognition while all the B2Bers wait and wait and wait.

Did @Best cat Dad divulge that his 'trouper' wife must down 15 Champagne bottles for enough product for each vehicle ? ( he has plenty of spare tires )

DaKahuna, Thank you the updates and real time progress. We will be joining you onboard from Miami 9/28-10/5! Enjoy your vaca!

[DaKahuna]

 We did lunch in the YC restaurant and it was very good.  I had the Cobb salad and my DW had the Asparagus Pana Cota.  We both cleaned our plates. 

 

 For our main course my DW had the Rockfish Stew and I had the Beef Tournedos.  I like my beef, despite it having been cooked past the medium rare I requested.   My DW was not a fan of the Rockfish stew as she was expecting more of a soup style dish.  I paired my beef with an excellent Australian Syrah that I do not recall having before.   We both skipped our desserts after I remember our middle grandson was playing football and we at least wanted to catch the second half of his game on the internet.  

 

A little food porn.

A nice Australian Shiraz to go with the beef

 

 

And who does not like pizza when enjoying football.

I took a few pictures of our stateroom but seeing as how there is a YouTube video of it online I had not planned to post unless someone had any specific thing they wanted to see.  It is a typical YCP room on deck 19.

You have to turn your clocks back an hour tonight....

Are you talking about daylight savings time?  If so, an internet search shows that it ends at 2 AM  on November 3.

DW's and my record is 6 glasses of champagne each before lunch on embarkation day.

 You both are way ahead of me.  I managed three.  One ashore and two in the TSL, one of which went to lunch with me.

I have to confess that this "record" was due to the fact that the ship was slow at zeroing out departing passengers causing a longer wait time in the YC pre-boarding area.  Butler kept on pouring and we kept on consuming.

What exactly is a Tournedos?  Looks like a petit filet?
