Disappointing Chops grill
2012年12月4日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Quite simply the meal in chops grill last night was spoilt by the very slow service.
The meal it's self was nice except for the of the soups being cold, but two hours for the first two courses I think was to long.
The problem lay in the kitchen not with the waiting on staff.
On a plus point the company was good and we'll miss them these next eleven days.
Anyway it's Nassau today, I think we're getting off, I'll keep you informed.もっと詳しく

Cruise number 2: 3 day Bahamas
2012年12月5日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
The change over for the consecutive cruisers was better than the last time we did it three years ago.
Only an hour and a half to get back on the ship, as against 5 hours last time.
Maybe next time they'll have it down to the promised 20/30 minutes.
Another thing, the beer prices have come down by almost $2 a pint, from the prices we were paying when sailing around Europe.
Just another way Royal Caribbean rip off the brits and Europeans.
Not only do the Americans pay less for their cruises but they get charged less for their booze.もっと詳しく

Pandemonium
2012年12月7日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Wow! Last night in the diamond lounge was manic.
The lounge was used for everyone from diamond upwards, because the pyramid lounge where the diamond members normally go was being used by travel agents selling cruises, so in true Royal Caribbean tradition they crammed everyone in one lounge.
You'd think that some of the passengers had never seen free drinks before, it was a real bun fight.
We were ok though as the waiters knew us from the crossing and kept us supplied with our drinks.
On the up side it will only be for the three night cruise, then we should be back to normal, fingers crossed.
Today we're at Coco Cay in the Bahamas, it's beach party day so I think we'll be staying on board and enjoy the empty ship and the sunshine.もっと詳しく

Seems like all I'm doing at the moment is moaning, but not only have the beer prices on board come down by almost $2 a bottle but also the duty free cigarettes are $20 a carton cheaper and perfume $25 per bottle cheaper.
RCCL may argue that taxes are different in the US but for 10 days of the crossing we were in international waters, so the European taxes won't count.
Personally, I feel that us brits or should I say Europeans, are being ripped off.
And that's before I mention the cruise prices the Americans pay, which we have no access to..... Phew! End of moan....lol
Other than that we're having a good cruise :-Pもっと詳しく

Fort Lauderdale turn around
2012年12月9日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Sheila, a lady we've met called Holly and I decided to get off in Ft Lauderdale and have a stroll.
We were the only people walking out of the port, everyone else was taking a cab or minibus.
We got some surprised looks, it seems that walking in south Florida is not the usual mode of transport.
Anyway we took a 40 minute stroll to a local shopping centre, did some shopping, had a coffee in Starbucks, then joined in with the local tradition and got a cab back to the ship.
Seriously, there must have been 3000 people queuing to check in.
We had our in transit passes so we should have been allowed straight in at the front of the queue as we had no need to check in.
But the security guards kept insisting we had to join the line at the back.
If we had we'd have been waiting hours to get back on board, seems like they had no idea what in transit, or a back to back cruiser was.
As luck would have it the head of the ships security was coming out of the terminal, he solved our problem and walked us right through..problem solved..... Phew!
If nothing else this has been an eventful cruise....lolもっと詳しく

St Kitts maybe next time
2012年12月12日, セントクリストファー・ネイビス ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We didn't get off in St Kitts after all.
Sheila wasn't feeling to well, so I decided to stay on board with her and sun bathe.
We're back here in February so we'll have a look around then.
Today we're in Phillipsburg St Maarten.
We'll definitely be getting off today as Sheila wants perfume for a couple of people back home.
Last night was an uneventful night in the diamond lounge.
Except for the four people who dress up every night.
They were in 60/70s style last night. Not they're best costumes yet, but still great fun.もっと詳しく

St Maarten
2012年12月13日, シント・マールテン ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Well we got off in St Maarten as planned, but we didn't find the perfume that Sheila was after.
I got my self a Caribbean shirt for $10, and it was Sheila who bargained the woman down from $15.
We bought a few other things, then walked down the beach front and had a beer.
The cafe had free wifi, so we phoned Nic & Neeta on tango, that's an app similar to Apples face time.
The temperature was in the high 80s, but we're made of stern stuff, so we had a leisurely stroll back to the ship.
I know, I know, it's a hard life, but we managed.
In the diamond lounge last night it was the usual debauched mix of booze and chat.
San Juan on Puerto Rico today.
I'll keep you informed.もっと詳しく

Dramatic rescue at sea
2012年12月14日, Caribbean Sea ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
The title is not a joke.
About an hour and a half out of San Juan, Puerto Rico, we came across three blokes in an upturned boat.
The ship had to come to a stop and send a rescue boat out to take them on board.
It turned out that they'd been there for six hours.
They were taken to the medical centre and checked out and thankfully they were all ok.
About an hour later they were transferred to a coast guard vessel and taken back to Puerto Rico.もっと詳しく

Labadee
2012年12月15日, ハイチ ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
What a change to a place!
I wasn't going to bother to get off the ship today but I'm glad I did.
The last time we were in Labadee was about ten years ago, the difference is amazing.
From a bit of a run down island, with a bit of a shack and a few benches.
RCI have transformed it into a beautiful resort, with a number of wonderful beaches and relaxing woodland walks.
Add that to water sports and zip wires, there is something for everyone.もっと詳しく
