Neat, hadn't noticed, been busy coughing and sneezing my brains out from this asian noodle bowl I had for lunch, SPICY!

That sounds REALLY good. Probably beats the pants off of my watermelon and yogurt with granola that I had for lunch.

Oh, it is. Just that subtle hot that you don't get till you're about halfway thru, and wasn't really expecting it.

There's a huge grocery store near us that is totally asian called Super H mart. I don't get into the cooking from scratch part too much, as normally after a workday I don't want to fuss with all that, which is too bad as they have a fantastic meat and seafood deli. But they have a lot of interesting prepackaged things, and noodle bowls are a.. prolific item there to say the least. Usually they have some kind of 'hot' indicator on the packaging, but this one has very little words of any kind in poorly translated english so I really didn't have any idea how strong it'd be.

Hey, at least your sinuses will be nice and clear to breathe in all of that wonderful Caribbean air.

Do you guys have Noodles by you?

(be careful.....your next post is post 5555. It should be something profound!)

Food Question Here....
I have been on a Mexican food kick...love that Guacamole...do they have any ethnic offerings onboard at all...like Asian food, sushi, Mexican?

I guess, as usual my joke went over THAT well. To get it, you have to have seen the movie The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis, when Chris Tucker was trying to get soundbites for that live radio show thing he was supposedly doing.

The lunch buffet every day has a different theme, and the dinners have some ethnicity to them too!

Hello Birdlover - welcome to our Cruise Meet.

I've unofficially assigned myself the duty of maintaining the master list of "CRAZY CRUISERS."
--- See http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=24479903&postcount=3496

Would you like to be added to this list?

There is a cruise meet planned at 3pm, if you are interested.

Today’s temperatures -- highs and lows -- are on record pace.

If you wondered if the cold weather this morning set a record, well, close — the 47 degrees today tied the record low set on this day in 2004, according to meteorologist Matt Bragaw of the National Weather Service in Melbourne.

What’s more, the high today could tie the record for the lowest high temperature set in 1950 — 68 degrees, Bragaw said. The high today is forecast to reach the upper 60s, so we’ll see.

On Wednesday, Brevard County can look for the high to be in the mid-70s, which still would be lower than normal for this time of year, and a low in the mid- to upper 40s, Bragaw said.

Things will seem back to normal on Thursday, as the temperature is expected to reach the mid-70s, and then climb into the 80s on Friday. The lows for Friday and Saturday will be in the upper 50s, Bragaw said.

 

[ohiominnie]

Yes.

Wow, that was profound!

Congrats on post #5555!

7 am to Midnight. Note that the drinks offered here have to be paid for. I usually head to the drink station, make myself a tea (for free) and then head over for a pastry from cove cafe (also free). I hear though that if you are into fancy coffee drinks this is the place to go.

thanks Mary! Yes, I know that the drinks there are not free, but I love my fancy coffee drinks. I will be there 7am sharp every morning!

NO PACKING DONE YET!!! NO DOCS YET!!! I'm hoping that they arrive today!! Too many things going on here to even think about getting the packing started!!!! Next week will be NUTS!!

wow, how come we got our docs weeks ago and then there are some of you who still haven't gotten them? that is strange!

I am almost done packing mine and Kaylee's stuff. Alan hasn't even STARTED yet, and I still need to get Josh's stuff together!

 

[MarkRG]

If I understood this right they send them out in bunches as they're printing them, not waiting until they have the set for the entire ship. Also if you did the online part, you'll only get the actual confirmation and luggage tags, not all the forms to fill out.

Yeah, I was bad. I ended up filling out the online part after I read about people getting their docs. Which means I didn't fill them out fast enough and I ended up getting the whole packet. Sorry, DCL.
