Every one has to take one of these pix in the Caymans

 

Now after eating we went to go get Bries bracelet charms and it started pouring rain on us. Didnt get any pix because we were to busy running from place to place. It stopped raining when we got back to the pier.

 

Were on a tender going back, that long line is for another Carnival ship. (Which was leaving later)

After Paradise Beach the ladies went shopping and Don and I went to Ponchos for some more food and margaritas.

Can you see how burnt I am

So it was dinner time, so we headed to the dining room.

Well this storm came out of nowhere. It was sunny all day long. As we were pulling out of the pier we came across 50+ knot winds and we started to drift towards the Enchantment of the Seas. Our dining room table was on the portside and we had a window. I didnt even notice the other ship because I was watching us get closer and closer to the other dock. Well we hit the dock (and the other ship). I didnt even feel it, but I did hear glass breaking and metal scraping. Then we starting pulling away from the dock and forward. The other ship comes into view with a bunch of Carnival red on her side. I couldnt believe that had happened. Brie tells me "That was from us", I told her no way that had to be there before. So Allen our awesome waiter comes up and tells us yeah we hit really calmly and asks us if were ok. The crew was really calm and did not panick at all. I headed up to the lido deck to get a few snap shots. (My camera was dead so I had to use Brie's camera and she has all the good pix) So up on the lido deck the crew was still calm, and the cd did an awesome job of keeping everyone else calm. We finally pulled away and had to wait about an hour to an hour and half for the port authorities to come out and inspect the damage to clear us to leave.

We decided to go the zoo which was pretty cool. About a 45 minute drive.

 

My Grandpa was feeding this deer, so Brie and I decided to do that too

 

This bird was so cool

We got back aboard and I wanted to try and go see the damage, this was as close as I could get

 

After that we went and tried laser tag in this thing

 

Time to get ready for dinner

[OrdieJ]

Now I know you all love to see the food pix, so I took as many as I could

This lamb was sooooo tasty, Don didnt like it

[AryMay]

I'm enjoying your review so much...love the pictures.

 

The nachos at Grand Cayman looked so good...and is that ceviche that you had at Paradise Beach?...it looked yummy as well. Guess you can tell it is lunch time...your food photos are making me hungry!

[OrdieJ]

Ok guys, Ill post later. I have to go pick up my car.

[OrdieJ]

Fabulous pictures and some views I've not seen in other posts. Chew quickly so you can get back and post some more. (What kind of camera were you using? I want a new one before our Feb. 7 cruise on the Legend.)

 

I'm using a Canon Power shot sd750.

One of my buddies dropped and it hasnt been taking good pictures like it used too. Thats why some of the pix are kinda crappy.

After getting onboard, Don and I went to the pool to get some drinks and listen to music while the ladies got ready for dinner.

 

If you ever see this server on the lido deck, his name is Aggus and he is awesome. I only got drinks from him

 

There was a Sangria sale going on.

 

Time to get ready for the 2nd and last formal night.
