Hi @Rpb929! Check out the link in my signature to my review to my January 2024 cruise. Go to page 14 for our day on Grand Turk at Jack’s Shack! 👍😁

That’s great to hear! I’m also a fellow Duck. I’m hoping there can be many more in the future. A 14 nighter is gonna be my next mission.

That sounds great!! My DH and I are on a 12 nighter out of Dover, England next June. Can’t wait😁

Hi @TigerWoodsLibido I grew up in Salem, OR and went to school at U of O. I hope you and your wife's honeymoon cruise is wonderful!!  Here's to many more future cruises!!👍😸

Yippie!!  Looking forward to your review and Patti's pics!😄

I have seen quite a few signed receipts while waiting for a drink with no tip added in.🤷‍♀️

First time on board the Horizon in 2019 there was a huge water leak two cabins down from me, and I also saw several buckets around the ship catching other leaks...

 

On another note, what time does it get dark in Aruba? Your pictures from last "night" look light until pretty late...

Hi Sid 😎Sunset today (May 1) in Aruba is 6:55pm. Google says the sunset is earlier than the US because of Aruba's proximity to the equator.

This was mostly about feeding ostriches and getting your pictures taken. I was with a family that has four kids so you can imagine how that was. The boys were screwing with pigeons and ended up killing one. It wasn’t super great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn’t the tour guide try to stop the boys from killing the pigeon? 🤬

I think the “leather trinkets and steak dinners” you speak of are when you hit Diamond. 

Yeah, I was getting ready to have more FOMO🤣🤣

Never got a letter nor did we get a mirror message.  Guess they don't love us as much as they love you - lol! 

Thanks!  Now I don't feel so shunned!😉

Think I missed this the other day.

 

I didn't get one of those either.  No mirror message, no letter.  I'm changing my name to Greg.

Having a little dinner at JiJi’s?

I’m 15 mins late but it looks like I got a spot.

 

 

15 minutes late to the opening time?

It’s all just a matter of opinion. I saw someone on social media give those duck rolls a 9/10 and the crawfish strudel an 8/10. I didn’t expect the duck rolls to be cold but they were. And something about that strudel pastry didn’t work for me. 

I wasn’t a fan of the cold duck rolls. Crayfish strudel a little light on crayfish. 

Why the big crowd waiting for their apps to say their tables are ready?  I feel bad for the white haired lady on the stairs (my mom would need to sit somewhere) but I have us wait in the library or atrium where there are seats for my mom and then proceed to our table when notified.

I noticed this on spirit and they’re doing it here. Trying to push people to mustard first thing.

 

I stopped in the room first.

 

 

Well that's pretty special! All I got was a white sign and sail card last cruise this January.  Dedy must know this cabin has a CC celebrity! 😉

Those looking for Bonaire excursions and if you like to do an easy snorkel. Check out SeaCow.  Great people, easy access to the water.  Not too many on boat maybe 25.  Great day.

I just booked Sea Cow for the Double Dip in Jan 2025. Sounds great!!

Craig and I are on this cruise January 2025. Looking forward to your review!!👍😁

Lunch at The Office looked great! Do you remember how much was the total bill? Thx!

My mom uses the wheelchair assistance to embark and disembark and we utilize the porter service for her suitcase.  Sorry about your injury.

I was on the cruise, just got back Sunday, I did go to the new area they just finished, It is a mini me of Amber cove, except there is no splash zone for kids, other than a small pool they can use. the umbrella's are like amber cove, ask for one, but have to pay for it, restaurant is open, swim up bar in pool is open, so will have many that partake, but not many that will do a bathroom break. Not as many chairs like amber cove, so it will be a rush to get a spot. so recommend be on of the first ones off if you want a chair. clean bathrooms,, It is nice, just small, ask me anythig you want about it, and I will try and answer.  

Good to know! Last time I ported at La Romana it was a parking lot and a few vendor stalls.

La Romana is not a favorite port of mine. Thank you for the review!👍😁

Same. 😜

I wonder, if DH and I were seated at sea day brunch, could we order it as our Platinum benefit and it wouldn’t count in our Cheers 15? Hmmmm….

Just now, Frank12 said:

That's funny.  I've done brunch my last 5 or 6 cruises without ordering my "free" drink.  

We usually have Cheers and don’t even think about it.😁

I looked at RC's Ultimate World cruise and it's definitely a chunk o' change!  I wonder what Carnival would charge in comparison? Even a 2 month segment (like RC has available) would be awesome!
