Newark to Liberia, Costa Rica and Back on Continental

Please keep in mind this is a few months old so the IFE on the 737-800 was out of date.
The plane there: a 737-800
    The Seat: A bulkhead seat, large and comfortable with nice recline and enough pitch for a 4-5 hour flight
    The IFE: LCD screens showed an in-flight movie
    The food: The meal I elected was a “steak” and potatoes. The meat was well seasoned, but tough. I asked for a roll but they ran out. I went to the restroom and saw that FA eating a roll. Investigated and later learned that it was from a crew meal so it was understandable. Desert was some sort of berry creme pie. It was reasonable but odd for this route and meal. The meal was still pretty good despite these few setbacks.
    The flights: Very good.
    The plane back: a 737-900
    The Seat: A bulkhead seat, large and comfortable with nice recline and enough pitch for a 4-5 hour flight and a screen built into the seat back
    The IFE: basically similar to Jetblue except it didn’t function as well. They had some kinks to work out. It was nice to have options though. When we were out of the country the TVs looped which got annoying.
    The Food: I elected for a bagel I believe and it was terrible. The snack with the bagel was fine.
