1/9/23 Sea Day on the Norwegian Prima

 

I worked in the morning then we headed to Galaxy Pavilion for an Escape Room. It’s $15 per person and really well done. We picked the Animals room. We had a family of 3 with us – a Dad and his adult children. The room worked really well for a group of strangers. You can find eight idol pieces within the room so we could all be working on our own puzzles. It was interactive and fun. We solved it with 13 minutes to go.

We went to Metropolitan and lost at trivia by two points! We were so close. Lunch was in Hudson’s – one of the main included restaurants. We had a great table by the window. 

The food and service were great. I really like the Asian spare ribs. The tomato soup was delicious – one of the best I’ve had. Great roasted tomato flavor and very creamy. The butternut squash risotto was a miss. It didn’t have a lot of butternut squash flavor. We shared a Thai steak and noodle salad that was great – just the right amount of spicy. The Smash Burger was terrific. Brioche bun with a Big Mac-type sauce.

After lunch, we passed through the Platinum party. It was really nice. Lots of officers were there. They were passing drinks and cheese and crackers. A duo played live music.

We headed to Vibe Beach Club. I loved walking in at 1 pm with lots of open seats. We found a day bed in the shade. Michael provided great service. It was very relaxing. I finished a book.

For dinner, we headed back to Hudson’s. I had the coconut shrimp, beet and watermelon salad, and the Buddha Bowl. All three were great. We tried Belvedere Bar. Jason, the bartender, was hustling. He was so fast and yet people were still super rude. They had these cool bottled cocktails. 

Someone in the back mixes up a big batch of a specialty cocktail and pours it into these cute bottles. Then, the bartender only has to pour it. We tried the one with bourbon and the one with gin. They were both very good.

We got good seats for Summer – the Donna Summer musical. It was terrific. Kimberly Locke played the older Donna and was terrific. The younger Donna was incredible. After the show, it was cool to watch the theater transform into a nightclub. The crew came out, folded down all the theater seats, and then the seats moved back into the wall like bleachers.
