Marc - Yikes, if the ship has run out of tequila, how is everyone getting their margaritas??!! Have the Latin cocktail lovers had to switch to mojitos and caipirinhas?? That's tough on the bartenders, as both of those drinks are a lot more work to make (requiring muddling) than are margaritas. Just pray that the ship doesn't run out of white rum and cachaca. If that happens, there are still Pisco sours as an option, assuming that the ship doesn't run out of pisco... Oh, the humanity...
As to the foc'sle screw-up (oh, how tempted I was to make that phrase alliterate), did any others of the at least 25 G-P-T pax show up for the non-event? Were any of the hotel staff there to serve coffee and rolls? It does sound like a major disconnect between the Hotel Dept. and the Deck/Safety crew. It would have been cool if they'd allowed you to help play out the docking lines, no??
We've read that Mariner may be changing Latitudes from the Asian fusion theme to a steak-house theme. Any indication of that on Voyager?
Cheers, Fred (desperately wishing he was on B2B with all of you)
Aliteration is always good... :D
We received replenishment in Venice so all should be in order. ;)
Mojitos were impossible to get in Observation Lounge since the beginning of the cruise. We were saving the mint on our ice cream in Compass Rose so that Tom could take his own mint up stairs. Luckily, they have now found mint on the upper decks.
There were 15 G, 6 P, and 4 T on last cruise. Two other guys were out early on foc'sle with us. Hotel staff already had champagne, fresh fruit, and pastries ready. They also had bloody marys. As for the lines, I think I could have tossed it far enough when we docked; in fact, we were so close that all you had to do was toss it over the side and it would have been fine.
BTW, two banana daquiris at lunch just now so I have to see how I do at Pooch. :D
