I have been considering starting a mooring line thread some Day.

I love this look when the sun hits the water.

Have you been to Coco Cay? We were there in last October and January. With reduced prices we got really good prices to the Waterpark. It was a lot of fun and I was able to get really nice pics from the top of the slide towers. I still have a couple on my phone. This is from the shorter slide tower. It is where the workers live. I got great pics of the ship from the tallest tower. We enjoyed it enough we did it a second time. We have been there in the past without doing any of the extra stuff and still enjoyed it. There is no need to pay extra to have fun there. If I remember correctly go past the far large pool to the left, as far back as you can go, and you will be in a less crowded fun beach area. On the way back, at the end of the pier, you can find a ride back to the boat.

At the end of the trolley ride we got off and headed to Adrenaline Beach. To get there go to the left behind the trolley seats and get on the path. You will soon see the sign... It looks like there is a separate buffet set up at several locations... You will see a map sign.... And will soon find where we sit.....

View by the elevators in front.

😆 thanks! I have been working on those legs for 66 years! After you open Hyperlapse look up in the right corner. There will be a circle with 5x, 10x or whatever speed it is currently set on. Click on that to find your speed options. I think I finally set it on 5x for the trolley. If I was recording a sail away or clouds rolling by I might try 20x or even more. Also after recording you can open it in the editor and have more options to adjust speed.

I am nor a Starbucks guy. I don't even drink coffee. Sharon says it the largest size drink. Maybe it's a 20oz drink. I really don't know.

Well as you can see I am working hard to show you...... 😆 Open the camera and see if you can see an option for it. It probably not there because you have to add to it what you want. Scroll to the right and hit more. It will open up to more options. Hold down Hyperlapse and drag it down to the main line. Tap it and you are ready to go.

If I remember right if you don't use a card up you can use the rest on the next cruise. Maybe someone here can verify. Our new TA has got use some OBC so it is taking care of coffee and extra tips at dinner.

I was looking forward to meeting @mo&fran. If you see this anytime soon we are laying out at the bottom of the suite deck steps on the portside.

The machine is not on the side like I remember most being. I need to stay away more this cruise with all I am eating. I say that after drinking a milkshake. 😆 In the past I drank a milkshake almost every night. Since I slowed way down my weight is getting better.

Sharon got a white mocha twice. 1st one she was charged $7.02. The second was $7.95. She nows that the 2nd one was a venti. Not sure about the 1st.

Sharon is the Starbucks drinker. She said the Larger drink is about a dollar more.

Wow, discovered a big negative about the UDP. The 1st day we board and hurried to book reservations. Shortly after we ate lunch at Giovannis then to the room to unpack, then a trip to the muster station. Before you know it Dinner. Why is this a negative? If you have followed a live of mine before you would know that one of the 1st things I do is get ice cream! It's day 4 and I just got my 1st ice cream! That can't happen again!

I am keeping an eye out for them. Jenny was super nice.

Almost twice the size.

The milkshake straws are the same but bigger. I will try to remember. Sharon goes to Starbucks often.

Here is a big plus change! How often have you started an ice drink with a paper straw and it was worthless half way through the drink? The straws they use now hold up nice. They are thin but work.

Ooops, sorry @Sea Dog. I know you do post nice ones.

We our at Johnny Rockets. Yang is taking our order and does not understand most of what we are asking for. 😆 We will see what we end up with. Heads up. Seems to be different each ship and sometimes each itinerary but at this time we are able to get milkshakes with our diamond drinks...... if he understood what we were asking. 😆

It was while I was waiting for the trolley I remembered the Hyperlapse. While we were pulling away I gave it a couple of short tries. 1_102255.mp4 2_102331.mp4 And finally figured it out before our last stop. 3_102537.mp4

There are many areas to hang on the Island. We like a less crowded area. A lot will walk to the nearest beach and get going. Other think that if they get on the trolley and go to the end it will be less crowded and it may but we are headed to our favorite spot, Adrenaline Beach.

It had been a while since we have been here but as we were walking down the pier the memories were coming back. As you exit the pier RC will want to snap your picture a few times. There is a booth to get towels if you did not bring one off the boat. Further on you will see an information booth off to your right. You can pick up an Island map. Walk Further and to your right you will find a trolley station. The trolley goes all around the island.

Labadee A great tradition started by I believe @harryfat, Mooring pics! I need to do a little better at the next port. And no whistle was blown!

Balcony tip If you stay in a balcony cabin remember that when you open the balcony door it will turn off the a/c. You have to make sure when you close the door that the handle is all the way down even when on the balcony. The 1st day we did not get the handle all the way down. Luckily we noticed it getting warmer before we left the room.
