cruznbuddies Posted June 3, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2005 :o I'm embarassed to be so dense, but how do you pronounce Curacao? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10X Posted June 3, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I could be wrong but I've always used: Cure-a-sow, with the "a" using the same sound as it does in the word - attend; and "sow" as in female pig. I've also heard : cure-a-sew I don't think anyone will whine too much, regardless of which one you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyzoo Posted June 3, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I pretty much agree, except I've usually heard the beginning not as "cure" but more like a hard k -- "kur." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznbuddies Posted June 3, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted June 3, 2005 So where do you put the accent/empahsis? On the a? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted June 4, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Cure a sow (emphasis on sow) :D From the South as well! Always remember because that's what we do to get our "country hams"! With my Southern drawl "Cure A Sow" is close enough. :p Happy Sailing! OCruisers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredH Posted October 19, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks. Now I can finally tell people where we are going and hopefully they will understand. We are taking the Jewel of the Seas repositioning cruise out of Boston November 1st and this will be the last stop. I am digging out information from this board. Thanks for those who have taken the time to put up what information there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
