island284 Posted September 12, 2013 #426 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The birds in your pictures do look like frigate birds. Here's some info. We often see them while near the islands. The frigatebird (also known as the man of war bird and the pirate bird) is a species of sea-bird found in warmer, tropical regions. Frigatebirds are thought to be most closely related to pelicans giving rise to another name for them, which is the frigate pelican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc1025 Posted September 12, 2013 #429 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Great pictures, we get excited knowing we will be there in a few weeks. We took the Plantation tour the last time we were in Falmouth, it was ok, like many tours half the fun was the ride getting there. Glad they are putting in a Margaretville, we spent a day at the swim up bar in Ocho Rios when they use to dock there and loved it. Can you answer a question. I was looking at the webcam from the boat and it looks like one of the wave runners is not operating. I am looking forward to doing that and wondered if it is down? Hope the rest of the week continues to go well and you have great weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted September 12, 2013 #430 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Beautiful review, with great pictures. Thank you. FYI A carton of Virginia slim lights in Ohio ( where we live) my brand when I smoked--- including tax..this week approximately $67.00 Just like to check. Sea Ya In NJ a carton is anywhere from $90 to $105 depending on what you smoke and where you buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw1023 Posted September 12, 2013 #433 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Trainman-2 sure enjoying your live review and pics.Quick question do any of the swimming pools have steps rather than ladders to enter? Thanks. Norma Not train man...but there is a beach pool that has no steps, you just walk n and it gets deeper. The solarium pool has steps, not a ladder also. :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted September 13, 2013 Author #434 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Can you answer a question. I was looking at the webcam from the boat and it looks like one of the wave runners is not operating. I am guessing you mean the Flow Riders????? They were both running today!

Trainman-2 Posted September 13, 2013 Author #435 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Have you heard how your puppies, goozols, chickens and the flood plain are doing in your absence? We get an email every day with updates and assurances that all is well. We miss them all and are looking forward to the reunion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted September 13, 2013 Author #436 Share Posted September 13, 2013 We had another Excellent Dinner in the Windjammer tonight. I had the carved Prime Rib which was cooked just right and tasted great but as you can see in the photo, it was not the best cut of meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted September 13, 2013 Author #437 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It was rainy early this morning and then cloudy the rest of the day. We took it easy, posted on the Internet, and read our books. I think we cruise more to relax than anything else... That's all for tonight...

Sunny AZ Girl Posted September 13, 2013 #439 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Great pictures, we get excited knowing we will be there in a few weeks.

Hope the rest of the week continues to go well and you have great weather. I am intrigued by the Taste of Jamaica Tour at the Plantation House with Lunch, including a tour of the house & grounds. Did you do that one, by any chance? I see a lot of reviews on TA, but really none on CC. The TA reviews are consistently good. Many of our group are not willing to leave the immediate port area due to safety concerns and concerns with pushy vendors, pat downs on return to the port, etc. Did you see reasons for these concerns when you were there? I am impressed with Trainman's willingness to go off with an unknown cab driver. I would probably not do that, but it looks as if he had a wonderful time and got an intimate insight into the lives of the Jamaicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daghis Posted September 13, 2013 #441 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Can you answer a question. I was looking at the webcam from the boat and it looks like one of the wave runners is not operating. I am looking forward to doing that and wondered if it is down? That web cam (showing the FlowRider) hasn't been working since July. You can see a timestamp in the upper right-hand corner of the image when it was last updated and it's currently saying 7/28/2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella O Posted September 13, 2013 #442 Share Posted September 13, 2013 We were in Falmouth in June, and I would say it was a highlight of our trip. We took a private tour with someone that came very highly reccomended on TA and here on the port of call boards. Not once did we feel any unease or fears for our safety. We also were not accosted to buy stuff, but perhaps that's because we did not go to any markets. We had an active day climbing and jumping in some local falls. We also did some rafting, and lots of driving, which was a great way to see this beautiful country. We ate lunch at Scotchies which was yummmmy! We got the chance to speak with several young men (who worked the rafts) in depth, and it was so interesting to hear about their culture and lives. Our whole family loved the experience! I would encourage folks to get out and see the area if you have not already. I personally wouldn't do it without a guide I trusted, but I really like to see the places we port!

mgray5308 Posted September 13, 2013 #443 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The Junior Suite looks like the handicap cabins; even the balcony looks the same. Hmm. I thought the Junior Suite was much larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesstral Posted September 13, 2013 #444 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The Junior Suite looks like the handicap cabins; even the balcony looks the same. Hmm. I thought the Junior Suite was much larger. Looking at the deck plan they seem to be the same size. I'd assume the handicap rooms would not have a walk in closet in favour of a more user friendly bathroom... and no double points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytank Posted September 13, 2013 #445 Share Posted September 13, 2013 But on the next Kiosk over, a whole bowl of Feta Cheese :eek: Looks like they put all the trendy non-diet foods aside as "condiments" for the salads to appeal to a wider variety of people perhaps? Forget the salad I'll have the condiments! Lol. Kari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drb_2000 Posted September 13, 2013 #448 Share Posted September 13, 2013 We had an excellent breakfast in the MDR this morning. Some great table mates, stimulating conversation, and I forgot to take photos. Being an english ex-patriot something I have always missed is English Bangers (sausages). So tasty and never seen here in the mid-west :( Do they have them anywhere onboard? Thanks. DrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tasty and never seen here in the mid-west :( Do they have them anywhere onboard? Thanks. DrB I will check for you. They have some "banger type/looking" sausages in the Windjammer but I don't think they are "real" bangers. There is a Mixed Grill dinner is Chops that has a "banger looking: sausage in it.
