    To people who love Starbuck’s, enjoy. I’ve tasted Starbuck’s coffee and it was so strong the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. The reason so many people are hooked on it is because it’s so strong, you get wired. It only took a few sips for me and I knew it wasn’t for me. And I’m pretty sure that a lot of their offerings are heavily sugar-laden. A good cup of coffee (one that doesn’t seem like they threw in 2 lbs of coffee for one cup), some cream and some sweetener is good enough for me.

    That's quite expensive. But she's worth it. First time watching this channel. I'm subscribed to that guy on Shiplife however. That's cool you worked in The Escape. I just went on my first ever cruise on The Escape July 23 thru the 30th. Stayed in a solo Cabin which was fine. I thought Jack the British Cruise Director was fantastic. He had all the lines. Choir of Man was Cool. I actually think the main dining room food was just fair nothing special. My Solo Lounge director Marc with a C as he announced himself was terrific.

From what I saw with the Prima; Indulge is great. The problem was finding a seat. Even the color scheme in the hallway is beautiful. At least that $700+ price is for the cruise and not per day. Escape rooms becoming quite popular on cruises. Gotta squeeze in some play amongst the working. Thanks for sharing
