Loving your Live review, TenneSea! We'll be on the Carribean on her return crossing in November, so it's great to get a little feel for what the day-to-day activities are like. Glad to hear it's been largely smooth seas until just recently. We've been blessed on the other crossings we've done so fingers are crossed for our next one. By the way, both my wife and I swear by candied ginger as a prophylactic treatment for choppy seas. One question on the sea days--how often (and early) has the Promenade Deck been open on sea days? Honestly that deck has been one of my favorite features on the Grand class (I think I'm identifying them correctly) ships. Always figure that if I can get some regular walking in, along with basically avoiding the buffet, I stand at least a reasonable chance of returning home around the same size as I started, Again, thanks for posting...great shots on the dinners have me looking all the more forward to November. --Jim

Thank you, annmarz, for the review. We're going to be on the Caribbean in November, and very much looking forward to a return visit on one of our favorite ships. An older one for sure (but hey, aren't we all!) and there are so many features that make it special, including the full wrap-around Promenade Deck. Sorry to hear you missed Turks & Caicos--personally love the walk to Jack's Shack with a quick swim along the way. -Jim

I think we're on the same cruise--see you on the roll call? Haven't had issues with the meds, but always take extra, just in case. As for rough seas, we've found candied ginger to be very calming--always take some with us. Actually. I recall the QM2 putting a plate of them out at dinner on an earlier trans-Atlantic. Embarkation day lunch has become a regular tradition regardless of the itinerary. Happy travels!
