Afterwards, Patti made her way back to the cabin, and shortly thereafter I joined her. We hung out all afternoon just relaxing inside, and on our balcony….. Tonight, we are having dinner at Bonsai Sushi. Here are the food and drink menus….. While we were waiting for our food, Patti took a few pictures around the restaurant….. My drink has arrived. I’m having the Sake Sangria. Very tasty! To be continued…..

Patti is going to go to Soul Play to do some arts and crafts. On the way she takes another shot of the Dome Pool, and of DJ Dillandro who is spinning the tunes…. Patti has made it to Soul Play where they have a huge amount of art supplies….. Patti has her wooden squares and her paint…… The class is about to begin….. Here are Patti’s finished works. Not bad babe! Here are some parting words…… To be continued…..

Patti now heads forward on Deck 10. She takes one look back at the Green Thunder waterslide….. She’s looking down at the Dome Pool……. She moves forward to the Sun Pool….. Patti joins me for a drink at the Red Frog Rum Bar….. To be continued…..

This is the Spirit Captain and Team….. Patti heads aft to the upper level of the Empire Restaurant…… They will be serving lunch here today….. Patti heads all the way up to Deck 11 to check out the water slides and Water Works….. To be continued……

Patti heads up the stairs to Deck 3 to check out the Shanghai Piano Bar….. Patti has collected some useful information for you….. To be continued…..

Yes, these are in the morning. Later on in the day they put out the cakes, chocolate covered strawberries, etc, and these are not.

Here are some of the Red Frog Pub menus….. Right next door to the Red Frog Pub is the Skybox Sports Bar….. To be continued…..

Patti continues on Deck 2 forward. Here is the Red Frog Pub….. To be continued…..

Patti heads back up to the Promenade Deck 2 and checks out some of the venues at the front of the ship that she didn’t get to yesterday. She starts with the Monarch’s Card Room. Books and games are available here……. Across the way are a Sail & Sign Kiosk and an ATM….. Here is the Fountain Café Coffee Bar….. Park West has a table set up nearby….. To be continued……

After filling our bellies, I’m going to head over to the Red Frog Rum Bar for some Thirsty Frog Wheats, and Patti is going to walk around and take some pictures of venues that she missed yesterday. Patti heads to the forward elevator bank, and then heads down to Deck 1 to check out the Versailles Lounge. This is where the Comedy Shows are held….. This is the bar in the back of the lounge where on Spirit Class ships, I watch the shows from….. Patti goes down to Deck 0 where the Medical Center is….. To be continued…….

Around 8am Captain Bovo made the announcement that the sea conditions made the Water Shuttles unsafe to operate, so that our call at Princess Cay was cancelled and we would have a sea day. I would have to agree with his assessment….. The Captain also said that the port fees would be refunded to our Sail & Sign accounts, and that we would arrive in Grand Turk tomorrow at 9am instead of 11am. That sounds good to me. We are sailing away from Princess Cay…. Some of the Senior Officers were hanging around Guest Services to help deal with any passenger’s questions or concerns. It seems for the most part, people understood why this port stop was cancelled….. Roma is getting the Spirit Lobby Bar ready for action! Now that today is now a sea day, Patti and I head up to the Lido for some omelets….. To be continued……

Day # 12 – (January 15th) – Princess Cay (8:30am – 4:30pm). We were up to a much warmer sunny day. The seas are a lot calmer than last night, but still a bit bumpy. Here is the view from our balcony looking forward and aft….. We were treated to a beautiful sunrise this morning….. Here are today’s “Fun Times”…… Patti puts a few bags of laundry together and gives them to our Room Steward Jay. Our plan for today is to head ashore after the rush, take some pictures, have some lunch and a few drinks, and then come back to the ship. Here is the General Water Shuttle information for our day at Princess Cay….. Here is the Priority Water Shuttle information….. To be continued…..

Great start to your review. Looking forward to the rest! 😎

I think that commercial was only shown regionally. Patti missed it but she googled it and it came up.

Just saw the Mets commercial here. Cute.

The Thermal Suite is way too small for the amount of people on the ship.

You are right. I have never seen South Beach so sparse! Yes I did and he was very good!

This is the La Playa Grille Bistro menu. Most of what’s on here was available at the Empire Restaurant (MDR)….. Tonight’s Bistro offerings….. From the Deli I got two grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and fries….. Patti got herself a Southwest wrap….. Afterwards, Patti went to check out the shops and then back to the cabin. I went to the Alchemy Bar for a couple of Pain Reliefs. The Alchemists for this cruise are Katia, Giovanni, and Alexandra. At 7pm I left the Alchemy Bar and headed to the Versailles Lounge on Deck 1 for the 7:30 Comedy show starring Tim Kaminski. After I had been served my usual Punchliner drink, the announcement was made that this show had been cancelled. Both comedians, the other being Mark Hawkins, would do a Comedy Showcase in the Pharaoh’s Palace Theater at 10pm. I made my way to the Spirit Lobby Bar where I would hang out with Roma for a while….. I listened to the Art Shake Trio do their last set, and then the Latin Golden Sound do their first set, before calling it a night. With the ship rocking like it is, I’m going to sleep good tonight! Coming up next: Our Day at Princess Cay! (Maybe).

We check out the offerings at the Salad Bar….. This is one of several Drink Stations….. This is the Dessert Station….. This is the Seafood Corner. This section is Chopsticks for lunchtime….. To be continued…..

Patti and I never get seasick, knock on wood, so our thoughts turned to dinner. We decided that the Deli would be just fine tonight. But first, we would head back to Serenity to catch tonight’s sunset. That’s Miami in the distance….. The sun is setting over Miami….. Turning around we look up at the waterslides….. Looking at the Serenity Pool you can see the water sloshing around pretty good. It’s freezing out here, and yet there are still people in the hot tub….. This poor girl has to stay at her post taking care of the towels….. The Serenity Bar is empty. Where did everybody go? Walking into the La Playa Grille we noticed it was also virtually deserted. I’m sure the condition of the seas had something to do with it….. To be continued…..

It wasn’t long before the Pilot Boat came alongside to pick up the Pilot….. This is what is left of the sail away party….. Once we were a couple miles offshore you could feel the seas getting really rough. I made my way back to the cabin. Patti told me that her luggage had arrived and that she was all done unpacking. I stepped out onto our balcony where you could see that it was getting pretty nautical out there…. To be continued….

Cool. We'll be at the Barcelo Aruba having drinks in the pool. 😁

Hey Scott! Of course we remember you guys. What a great cruise to Charleston! I think we all made the best of it. Great memories! 😎

It's considered the Sunshine Class. 😎

Place looks familiar. We went through there a month ago. First time we ever had to line up for the dogs.
