Awesome Eldon!! You made it to Good Spirits and had Johnson make you a drink. I’m guessing he didn’t want to make you the Zombie, or didn’t remember how to make it. The Angels Envy Old Fashioned he made you looked really good though. Daily around 5pm, they do a series of special cocktails that come with a nice recipe card to take home if you order them. If you go back, be sure to ask for a card if you get one of those cocktails. The Vanilla Sky you had is one of those drinks. I think he and Putu there make the best cocktails on the ship.
Haha yeah, he didn't remember how to make it. But man, their drinks are so good! Glad you told me about this bar! We're here almost every night now haha
@@Eldons_Excursions Haha, that what I figured. I'll give you the recipe. It will cost 4 drink credits and be a pretty strong drink, but unique and one to remember. (And maybe forget later) 😆
Here’s the recipe for the Zombie… Zombie Ingredients; 3oz Aged Rum 1 oz Overproof Rum 1 dash Absinthe .5 oz Velvet Falernum .75 oz Lime Juice .25oz Grapefruit Juice .25 Cinnamon Syrup 1 barspoon Grnadine 1 dash Angostura Bitters Method; 1. Combine all ingredients. 2. Shake with crushed ice 3. Strain into glass 4. Garnish with mint sprig Hi Johnson and Putu
I was also having Johnson and Putu make a Bitter Mai Tai. It’s a real nice take on the classic Mai Tai, just not as sweet. Give it a try. Let me know if you get the guys to make these drinks for ya. You’re going to love ‘em! Bitter Mai Tai Take on the classic Mai Tai but less sweet Ingredients; .75 oz Jamaican Rum .5 oz Orange Curaçao 1.25 oz Campari 1oz Lime Juice .75 oz Orgeat Method; 1.

I agree with your breakfast at the buffet comment. I didn't like it either lol😆 Super random, but have you encountered the weird forward Elevator that closes like 3 times before it actually closes? So annoying but it was a funny way to bond with people. Can't wait to see your island visits 😎
It's been enjoyable watching your progress. I was just wondering if there is a showroom on the ship? Just for you It's pronounced....shar-coo-te-ree 😂 great job!
Haha I knew I wasn't saying it right 😅 A show room like a theater? Yeah, they had a couple of shows there, just didn't record them because sometimes copy written music is played. I'll try and record some later and voice over them.
I enjoy your trip videos. I’ll be sailing on the Crown to Alaska this May. Does the International Cafe charge for a glass of milk to enjoy with the cookies? I’m considering bringing my own gallon of milk in case it’s not in the beverage package.
@@Eldons_Excursions Yesss take advantage of it! Way better than the buffet to be honest. I prefer main dining room breakfast over the buffet. On all cruises there’s always a free sit down breakfast in the main dining room. Enjoy!!
Hey there! I'm of the older generation and not good at tech stuff. Not even sure you can see this. Can iask a question please. We leave Aug 11 fir first time. Our room is B427.Could you plz video that shows hows far the elevator is.. I'll be watching. Be Blessed
Such a gorgeous day to be out and about on the ship for sure! The ocean and sky are so beautiful!
Very cool. Can’t wait to see Hawaii. It is so beautiful over there.
So beautiful!! 😍 I wanna live here haha
@@Eldons_Excursions would be nice 😊
I need to try that drink at GS! I love Woodford Reserve and Aperol
It was so good!!
that drink looks so good i can taste it in my mouth
You nasty haha

Haha no! Is that on this ship? I haven't had any weird things yet, but if I do, I'll definitely share them
It's been enjoyable watching your progress. I was just wondering if there is a showroom on the ship? Just for you It's pronounced....shar-coo-te-ree 😂 great job!

A show room like a theater? Yeah, they had a couple of shows there, just didn't record them because sometimes copy written music is played. I'll try and record some later and voice over them.
I'm curious about the temperature on the ship. Do they keep it cool? Do you get a thermostat in your room?
@fw7993 Absolutely! You can control your own temperature in the room. I always kept the sliding glass door open, and the breeze was perfect.
@@Eldons_Excursions Thank you. I'm really enjoying your videos. You are such a personable guy!
Hey, I have two friends on the ship with you. They did the World Cruise with me last Year. Dave and Jacquie from Lethbridge, Alberta!
Oh that's awesome! You might see them in my videos! Lol I still have another 8 days on the ship 😁
@@Eldons_Excursions yes they were in Todays vid
I enjoy your trip videos. I’ll be sailing on the Crown to Alaska this May.
Does the International Cafe charge for a glass of milk to enjoy with the cookies?
I’m considering bringing my own gallon of milk in case it’s not in the beverage package.
Thank you!! Alaska is my next cruise! I can't wait. I may book one before then. The milk is all included 😁
Wow! 16 days! Is this a repositioning cruise or a regular itinerary?
I believe this is the regular cruise. A lot of people have taken this same cruise in the past.
Do you leave your plates on the table and they clear them?
Yeah, anywhere on the ship. Just leave it, and within seconds, they clean it up. They're really on top of it.
The main dining room has a free sit down breakfast! Sabatini’s is for suite guests, but the main dining room breakfast is free for everyone!
Haha I'm just now discovering this. I'm definitely going to take advantage of this. I heard the breakfast is really good!
@@Eldons_Excursions Yesss take advantage of it! Way better than the buffet to be honest. I prefer main dining room breakfast over the buffet. On all cruises there’s always a free sit down breakfast in the main dining room. Enjoy!!
Hi brother, From Kuwait
How about "Excursions with Elden". Just a thought.
I've actually had a few friends tell me the same thing! I think this might be it.
I think bkfst is served in the Botticelli DR
It's for people who have suites 😞
@@Eldons_Excursions Then I guess I'm confused; I thought Sabitini's was for Suite bkfst and Botticelli was for non-suite passengers.
Breakfast in Da Vinci is for everyone and Sabatini is for suites(at least when i was on crown)
@lissa_oc6317 exactly, I figured that out later lol

That's by my room now! You'll be right by the elevators. Super close.
So far would you rather fly to Hawaii and spend 16 days in Hawaii or still prefer to be on a cruise to Hawaii.
The longer I'm here, the more I wanna stay! Lol the ship is nice, but the weather and vibe here is so nice!
Nice videos. I have some questions for you and your cruises. Do you have an email where I can drop a line to you?
Yeah! You can email me at eldon.powles@yahoo.com
How are you, brother
How is going trip
It's going great! Just got to Honolulu
Refund on the premium dessert
🤣🤣 getting a blue Hawaiian instead
