Maby fun fact: The purpouse of having the pinky out is to cusson the glass or cup so it won´t make a sound when you place it down, it also served the dual purpose to cussion the cup or glass so the stem don´t shatter since crystal glass and bone china used to be super fragile(and still is). There are also some sources that say it was to touch the glass as little as possible because servants had touched it, I don´t know about that one...

[@hypnotherapy69]

It was suprisingly common to get injuriess by the stem of a broken champagen glass

[@hypnotherapy69]

that looked like creyfish.

[@DLFH]

I've been to multiple multicourse food and drink dinners and this one looks well beyond worth it for the $200 price. From food alternate choices and food and drink pairings to portion size so you can enjoy the whole meal without being miserable at the end, this was an ultimate meal and entertainment experience.

[@SpookyKassie]

I just really love that Kidder always finds carrot cake without fail 😂❤

[@AtomicAgePictures]

The "United Song" is called Rhapsody In Blue and was written by George Gershwin in 1924. It's the first piece of "jazz" ever to be allowed to be performed at Carnegie Hall.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks for the info

[@AtomicAgePictures]

​@@OrdinaryAdventures my pleasure, but I see that I'm actually not the first person to mention this. I suppose I should have read down in the comments a little further first.

[@oldmomj5088]

I am glad you had so much fun. Thank you for showing us all of the options available on the cruise.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We try!

[@atheladyinthenorth7125]

The Empire club looked well worth the price. Heck cheaper then what my husband and I spend at Nobu in vegas. So happy you enjoyed it. The monkeys, omg you two kill me lol

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I was surprised at the quality of everything from the food to the drinks to the entertainment to the service. I left so stuffed

[@topheecake]

I didn't think i would want to go on a cruise because of motion sickness, but your vlogs are changing my mind. Thank you for sharing this adventure!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

If you ever do go on a bigger ship because you’ll feel it less

That was amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing that experience. The emotions on Kitra's face when she realized that she liked the taste of rabbit was wonderful. She looked like she needed another cocktail to process what was happening.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Please tell me there’s another icon of the sea video coming out and if so when!! Loving the cruise travel content!! Thank you guys so much sending love!! I could watch these all day hahah

Ive been on 3 cruises so far in my life, one of them was a Disney cruise, and i still remember our waiter at the fancy restaurant. Im neurodivergent and a very picky eater, so i ended up getting buttered noodles and fries, and he was so so nice to me. His name is Nazeem and i still remember what he looks like and everything. He was so nice my mom took a picture of us, and she still has it framed in her home😂❤ He was by far the best server ive ever had, i had a HUGE melt down before dinner because i knew they didnt have anything i liked, and he just made me feel comfortable and he went way out of his way to feed me. Im 34 now and this was when i was in 4th grade, and ill probably always remember him. Yalls videos make me want to go on another cruise😂 I dont travel much because of medical conditions i have, but cruises really are fun, and they aren't as hard on my system as flying is. Ive only been on a few, but i feel like cruises are something you can do over and over again and still not experience everything there is to do. Especially now with these big ships! Its so crazy seeing how big this is!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I’ve had some of the best servers on cruises. It can be a very memorable experience.

[@L..S...]

Amazing video! I'm loving your Icon series and it really seems that Royal Caribbean nailed it with this ship. Hopefully the prices come down eventually because it's crazy right now

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend the prices that are going on right now. It’s an amazing ship though.

[@AmusementLabs]

I noticed a nice touch with the background of the Empire stage. 8 courses, there's 8 rings (of I assume neon) behind her. Looks like they're supposed to light up matching to each course. I like it. :)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oh that’s a good point, we didn’t notice that!

[@barakaacim]

"East of Houston" is a play on the name of an area of NYC (the theme of the restaurant) called South of Houston (SOHO). So it's pronounced House-ton. Additionally, the "Delta Theme" is Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin and is probably the unofficial theme of NYC. (or at least it was before "New York, New York" hit the scene.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

👍

[@PhoenixVic21]

Ah! This is a great point on the NYC theme

[@Berrypatch360]

I've been loving the Icon cruise videos! I especially appreciated that you shared the various courses and beverages at Empire. Getting to see the meal options for non-seafood connoisseurs was especially helpful!

The sandwich you had is affectionately called a “beef on weck.” The roll is simply pronounced Kimmel-weck. It is native to the northeast around Buffalo/Western NY. It was originally crafted in Polish delis- most notably Charlie the Butcher or Schwabels. It has a Wikipedia page. It is extremely popular in the region, and usually served with aus ju, horseradish, and a dill pickle.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks for all the info!

We were just on Icon of the Seas last week and ate at Empire Supper Club for my birthday and was one of the best dining experience I have ever had. My favorite course was the raviolo. It was fun seeing your different reactions to the different drinks and showed how different palates can be. Great video!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad to hear you loved it. The Raviolo was my favorite too

[@James_Ford4815]

Lots of good local pizza shops that use those New York style deck ovens ... If you're in SoCal and ever in the Huntington Beach area look up 'Ghost Pizza Kitchen' right off the 405 freeway on Edinger ave ,,, they really make a great New York slice ,, but order the whole pizza you'll get more flavor from a fresh made pizza vs a reheated slice ... They also have one location in LA and one in Burbank too

Just wanted to let you know my husband and I enjoy your videos. Informative, fun and pleasant to watch. In one of JoJo's videos of the same cruise you said that by the time your videos came out everyone had seen them because JJ was doing them right away, while that is true your perspective is very much appreciated. That dinner looked so good, $200 a person is not bad but I would not pay more either. Thanks for the fun watch, keep it up. Your friend Kevin (? I think that is his name) is funny.....his faces, I totally agree. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.
