Pixie dust on our DREAM vacation! Update 06/08 TR finished!!

[englishrose47]

Karin I soo love eggs benedict!!The ones at Olivias were great !!

 

[jenseib]

I am glad you enjoy them! It's fun writing them too, if you know they are read!



Usually on 4 night cruises pirate night IS on CC day. The day at sea has the Believe show and CC day usually doesn't have one. (Golden Mickeys, Villains, whatever you like, Believe)
On 3 night cruises pirate night is on Nassau day.
Well, at least it was that way on our previous cruises - the only exception being was last summer when they had to change the day at sea and CC day because of Hurricane Irene.

I had that backwards then . LOL! I need to find some recent 4 day navigators and refresh my memory on how they work. I have read several TR's, but it's been awhile. I guess there is no need to panic..I still have 190 plus days to get it figured out.

I updated my TR again today. I know Dis has been crazy and not giving people notifications. It's like a dead zone over there.

Oh I miss CC so much and the fruity little drinks

Eggs Benedict are something I would not order here in Austria, so it is the perfect vacation treat!

I am sure it won't be too hard to figure it out. I need to find my navigators and get Tom to scan them in, if you want those - they are from February. Might take a while though, as we are going to DLRP and Italy soon.

As for your TR - I stopped by there and since the email notifications are coming again, I will stay up to date, or at least try to!

Me too, CC means Heaven and those drinks are just heavenly.

That would be great. it was a 4 nighter? Itinerary A?

Yes, that was a 4 nighter and itinerary A as well. I get Tom to scan it and then we'll send it on the way to you!

Day 5, February 22


„You guys are on a very tight schedule!“ - Part 2

Around 10.45 we were done with it and ready to head to our next appointment.
This time we went to Evolutions for the Officer’s meet and greet they set up for Gold and Platinum Castaway Club members.
We arrived there about 5 minutes before it was to officially start and who would be there to hand us a wipe, Andreas, the hotel director, who comes from Tyrol Austria, and who we had met on our last cruise.
We both smiled and when we answered his greeting in German, he remembered us from the previous sailing. We exchanged a few sentences and then we went to find a seat. Once seated we were offered a choice of drinks and we both decided on the sparkling wine.

We had not even taken a sip when another cast member came by to offer us some canapees. Tom had

a salami one and a pate one and some melon. My choice was

the prosciutto wrapped green asparagus. They were so good. The officers had already started to interact with the guests and it was a family affair as there were only about 6 or 7 families there.

The cruise director introduced the only cruiser who had been on ALL the sailings so far, Captain Mickey!
He was ready to have his picture taken with the guests, but no one really walked up to him, so Mickey just visited all the tables. Next was Captain Gus. He introduced himself and talked about the ship,

before he wished everyone a good time and started to make the rounds himself. It was fun to have all the attention of the officers and then the servers even made a second round with the canapees. This time Tom had

the prosciutto and asperagus and I had

a salami and a prosciutto one.
Did I mention that they were yummy?
Oh, and both of us got a second glass of the sparkling wine and a Chocolate Chip Cookie as well.

Then, another cast member walked through and handed everyone a rice-crispy Mickey.
At 11.25 the guests started to leave again and we joined them, as we had an 11.30 reservation at Palo.
So back to our stateroom, Mickey rice-crispies were left in the room and off we went to Palo.
It was just two floors up, so we arrived there right on time.
Again, Ann-Marie was there to greet us and we were asked to wait at Meridian again, but just when we had sat down they were ready and we were led into the restaurant. When we walked into the restaurant we saw our table mates Sarah and Garrett and Jimmy and Dania who were having brunch as well.
We had a nice table at the window and Collette was right there to greet us. Once she had done her pep talk we were taken for a walk around the buffet where Collette explained all the different dishes.

And while we were still listening to Collette Captain Gus, who was walking through Palo approached us and with a smile on his face, said, “You two are on a very tight schedule, aren’t you!” We all laughed but the funniest thing was Collette’s face, as you could see, she had no idea what this was all about.

To be continued ..........

Did they give away any prizes at the gold and platinum castaway club party? On our next cruise, we will be on a tight schedule too with the 11:30 brunch after the party.

No, there were no prizes given away during the meet and greet. But it was fun to get to know most of the officers and the snacks were not bad either.

I can really recommand Palo brunch! It is VERY good and this is only half of what was on offer - there are more pics (of the hot dishes and sweets) to come!
You should definitely think about booking it!

 

[Teri1]

Looks like you had a great time, and the food at Palo looked good. Sure hope we get to eat brunch on the Dream for the first time in Sept. I will be up at midnight again on the first available day!!! Wasn't so lucky last trip.

 

[englishrose47]

We had a blast, Teresa, and this is only part of the food they had on offer - there are more pics ot come.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, so you will get to eat there. I think that now that they quit serving afternoon tea to extend the brunch hours it will be much easier to get in.

The buffet is just awesome, Rosie! I am not really a buffet person, but this is one I would go to every day.

Day 5, February 22


„You guys are on a very tight schedule!“ - Part 3

And while we were still listening to Collette Captain Gus, who was walking through Palo approached us and with a smile on his face, said, “You two are on a very tight schedule, aren’t you!” We all laughed but the funniest thing was Collette’s face, as you could see, she had no idea what this was all about.

We took a tour with the camera once she was finished explaining, then grabbed a plate and started filling it with wonderful goodies.
And while we were filling our plates, there was another familiar voice. “Where ever there is good food, you’ll always find the Austrians!”, Andreas, the hotel director, who we had met just half an hour before, said.
Again, laughter was in order and after a few sentences, Andreas left and we continued our walk around the buffet.
We returned to our table where some

Prosecco was waiting for us.
Tom ordered some coffee and I had some

Hot Tea with our first plates.

While we were still finishing it, Collette asked if we wanted to try some pizza and we decided on the Sun Dried Tomato and Goat’s Cheese Pizza. It was delivered about 5 minutes after we had finished our first plate.

The pizza was delicious, but I was getting pretty full and I needed to save room for dessert, so when Collette asked about hot items, I had to pass. Tom tried the

Chicken Parmesan, which came on a bed of risotto.
I tried a few bites and it was wonderful. And then it was time for dessert. We both wanted to try the Sacher Cake, as it originates in our capital city, Vienna. But there were lots of other wonderful things to try as well. So we both filled a plate,

and sat down to indulge in all those wonderful little concoctions.
While we did so we happened to see Dania and Jimmy and I remembered that this was supposed to be their anniversary celebration.
So we asked Collette if she could serve them two glasses of Champagne and she did! It was fun watching them when Collette went there to surprise them. It took a little more time to finish all the desserts, but we finally were ready to sign the bill and wobble back to our room.
We had to take a little break and lie on the beds for a while after all that food.
By mid afternoon we started to empty the drawers and cupboards and packed up our stuff, putting the stuff for the next day into our carryons, so we would not accidentally pack them.

To be continued ..........

 

[englishrose47]

More wonderful food pix !!! Karin you are making me hungry and a bowl of cereal has lost it's appeal

 

[Linda67]

Hey Karin
Wow your Palo brunch looks amazing, I wouldn't know where to start!
Everything looks yummy

 

[jenseib]

Brunch looks so fabulous.
It's so depressing when you talk about packing up...I hate that part...
