Looking good my friend! 🎶Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man 🎶 😎

Something so special about going on a cruise glad you got away! We are finally off to Mexico for a week Puerto Vallarta this time not the other side where one of the cartel boss's son was just captured. Safety first Bob lol

[@friedchicken2474]

Your hair is looking sharp Bob, with the tail I'm getting flashes of a Karl Lagerfeld vibe.

[@TD-ce5ru]

That is a poblano pepper. The batter on it is actually whipped egg whites then fried..

[@justramblinaround]

Thanks again to you and your mom! We are getting more excited for our cruise this summer! Thx again

[@denisplouffe514]

Glad to see you enjoyed your your cruise on HA. Our family love cruising on several cruises on HA. 🚢⛴🛳😀👍🇨🇦

[@louiselanthier5135]

I loved the Chili Rellenos!

[@lizjoyce4846]

Looks like you're both enjoying yourself wonderful, it's nice to get away. Enjoyed the review and you are the world's best food photographer. Thanks again for the enjoyable video.

[@luckislonggone9233]

What a great meal, thanks for sharing!

[@Mumsgardenoasis]

oh man - i wanna go on a cruise! thanks dingo and mum for this very nice review.

[@steveee2511]

just back of a cruise with my mom on the Oosterdam,had same steak at main dining at last night.

[@edpotkay1]

Classy place. Looking sharp Bob 👍

[@GiaBlinks]

Funny, I went on a Carnival cruise just about two years ago and they had lobster, and a steak (I forget which cut) on the included menu. They own HAL, so you'd think that lobster would be available on formal night. Perhaps Carnival has changed that as well.

[@lydiawilson2723]

I love Ellis island too. Ellis Island is a hidden gem and so underrated. It's not fancy but the food is amazing

[@bryanammeter4450]

Styling Dingo but you might have your inner buccaneer coming through lol Mom looks very nice also 👍 ❤ Always

[@dflenn9423]

Well done! Really Bob and Mom. Might as well be an old shoe!

[@laurie6332]

You are such a good photographer Bob. Really great video. I absolutely love the relationship you and Mum have. It's beautiful. Making lifetime memories are priceless. So if I understand correctly you can decide each night if you want the fancy dine in a dining room, or you can hit the buffet if you wish? I went on a cruise 40 years ago and there was only one night that people dressed up and had fancy dining room dinner. It was called "the Captain's dinner", and you were assigned which night you were dining fancy. I am sure everything is different now. Bob, you kill the poor chef every time you ask for your well done steak (no matter where you are eating). The food looked very good. Except the pork belly (I am with you Bob on pork belly). You both looked very nice for your fine dining night. Mum looked so pretty in her pink dress. You also looked very handsome Bob. Another Dingo family memory for the books :)

[@RealBobDingo]

Thanks for such a thoughtful comment, Laurie! Yeah, the buffy and dining room are open at the same times everyday, so you can go to either one! The dining isn't really formal per-se they just have a few dress rules like no long pants and sandals.

[@donalynmoss203]

We loved the honest review. Everything looked so delicious! We’re looking forward to our upcoming cruise.

[@jlawrence0181]

I was on the Konigsdam about a month before you were. I thought that the food in the MDR was excellent throughout the cruise with very few misses. At the time, they were having some staff shortages which meant that the service was a little service and you had to make sure you ordered everything up front. Good revier.

[@ameliaerin1544]

Thanks contemplating this line for the entertainment..

[@RealBobDingo]

I am going to be posting a vid today with all the entertainment on board!

[@shanibloome]

Looks great!! Except Gordon Ramsey would say the dessert looked like someone dropped blood on the plate 😂

[@RealBobDingo]

Aaaand now I'm never eating that dessert again 😆

[@shanibloome]

[@andthe2become1flesh93]

Nice! The service looked impressive. Ship has nice ambience. It's been years since I've had French Onion soup, but yes, that didn't look right. Definitely needed more cheese. I love that you can order just about anything you want, even Indian food vegetarian and non. Now I really want to try it out one day. I too am a sucker for a bread basket. I could make a meal out of that itself, and I have. 😁

[@RealBobDingo]

You gotta give cruising a go... It's the best! If I was at home the bread basket would be my meal, but on a cruise, steaks and hot fudge all the way!

[@andthe2become1flesh93]

@@RealBobDingo Oh absolutely! They know what they're doing putting bread and other things at the front of buffets so you'll fill up on the cheap stuff. Lol

[@dustenm3453]

Food looked really good. I might have to try Holland America. I see they have a cruise match program going on right now where it is possible to get a free cruise with them.

[@RealBobDingo]

Thanks Dusten... Interesting about the HAL match, I have to try that too!

[@bodyloverz30]

I was not charged for double lobster tails on Royal Caribbean and steak and lobster on (Celebrity), for Christmas 22' sailing on Apex! Why is Holland America charging for lobster, on formal night?

[@RealBobDingo]

Every time we cruised prior to corona, even on Carnival, there was always a lobster night... they all appear to be gone now, celebrity may be the only one! LOL

[@bodyloverz30]

@@RealBobDingo This is because Carnival is in an extremely weak position, it may go bankrupt, due to its excessive loans!

@@RealBobDingo When I left my Christmas cruise on Apex, a long time loyal passenger was complaining (in Elite departure lounge) how the standards had plummeted at Princess, while another couple said the same thing for Holland.

[@Largepapa2]

You should do a collaboration with Ben and David by inviting them from the cruise world to Vegas. It would be a huge hit.

[@nedj10]

New York Strip well done? So you paid extra to have them burn your steakl?

[@RealBobDingo]

I palmed the chef $20 to make sure it was burned extra good!

I hardly had time for dinner in between all the sheila sketches I was drawing in 1st class! LOL

[@bermudezeg]

I like pork belly but with minimal fat aka flubber. Dingo it takes time to get used to eating the meat medium rare. Its much better then well done and its coming from a perosn that used to get well done.

[@davidgrybb8547]

DELISH !!!

[@gorymarty56]

French onion soup looked 2 soupy and not thick like it should be, fail.

It sounds like the food tastes like your mummy
