maxs mom Posted May 25, 2014 Author #108 Share Posted May 25, 2014 We absolutely crashed once we got back on board the ship. We have discovered something. We can no longer drink on the beach and then function during the evening hours. It's hell getting old! It was hard getting up and getting ready for dinner, but we managed. We were a little late getting to the CL tonight. Nice gathering there tonight and we had a nice time visiting with great folks! I also had a real treat this evening when Merion_Mom, aka Carol, came in to say hello! We have seen each other posting for a number of years here on CC, but have never met. It was so good to meet her in person. The "Moms" meet at last! Here is another picture of Nizar. Anyone see a pattern here? Dinner was ok tonight. I had some kind of a salmon appetizer that was too salty. Then a fish entrée that was so-so. But the dessert tonight was outstanding.....the honey nut tart. The Love and marriage Show was just OK tonight. We went back to the cabin after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxs mom Posted May 25, 2014 Author #111 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wednesday ~ April 30th ~ St. Kitts Yet another beautiful day and another one of my favorite ports! Got to the CL and breakfast early once again so we could get on out to the beach. We had plans to meet Al and Phyllis at 9 o'clock and they were right on time! We got right off the ship and headed out for the day! We went straight to the taxi guys and got a taxi over to the Marriott.....our favorite hang out on St. Kitts! (Taxi is $3 pp). We get the day pass at the Marriott for $35 pp. We discovered the Marriott several years ago and have been going there ever since. We tried out a number of beaches here, but none can measure up to this beach day. You have beautiful pools and a fabulous beach! So relaxing! First of all we go down to the beach and set up under one of their great cabanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleo30 Posted May 25, 2014 #112 Share Posted May 25, 2014 We are heading to Palm Beach in November! That place looks gorgeous and relaxing; just what we are looking for. I was waffling about going back to Orient Beach, and thought maybe we'd try Le Galion, but your pictures/review have made my decision easy. Palm Beach :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxs mom Posted May 25, 2014 Author #113 Share Posted May 25, 2014 We relaxed here at the beach until lunch time. We then gathered up all our stuff and went up to the restaurant by the pool and ordered lunch. John and I split a hamburger plate and they put our halves on different plates and gave us both plenty of fries and slaw. Phyllis got a fish sandwich that was huge. Al got a ginormous order of nachos! If you eat here, be sure and go early as they can be a little slow. Also take a credit card because they do not take cash at the restaurant.

maxs mom Posted May 25, 2014 Author #114 Share Posted May 25, 2014 We wanted to spend the rest of the day up at the pool, so I searched for a place for us to sit. I luckily found a spot, but had to move a few chairs around. I called everybody over and we had some very nice pool time! The great Marriott Wi-Fi works great by the pool, so we had a good time posting on Facebook and checking e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxs mom Posted May 25, 2014 Author #115 Share Posted May 25, 2014 As the afternoon came to a close, we gathered our things again and went out front to get a taxi back to the ship. What a wonderful property and another fabulous beach/pool day! Our cab was really nice: When we got back to the port....we went straight back to the ship.

Jax129 Posted May 25, 2014 #118 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Patty.....thanks for hanging in here with me! Next week on Freedom' date=' we had the new Chops menu and there were several new desserts on there. Some new things to pick from.....but they have the audacity to keep "Mud Pie" on the menu. We suggested that they call it something else as it is surely NOT Mud Pie!![/size'] the mud pie is my husbands favorite!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxs mom Posted May 26, 2014 Author #122 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The view from the Frozen Yogurt machine this afternoon! View from our cabin this afternoon: Drinks in the CL: Tonight we had reservations at Giovanni's Table. We were able to pay for this the first night and use our BOGO's. The last two times we ate at a GT's....it was just not good. We've also had very good experiences at other GT's. So we would see what this night would bring. We had a great waitress.....Mimi. She laughed and had a great time with us. The food was really good tonight. We had a lot of appetizers.....all good. I got the beef tenderloin......great. John got the lamb. The desserts are still very, very lacking here, though. None of them are good! We both got the little mousse thing. it was just OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxs mom Posted May 26, 2014 Author #124 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thursday ~ May 1st ~ San Juan We arrived early in San Juan this morning and we would be leaving early as well. We've been to San Juan many times, so we were making this a Wi-Fi day. There are a lot of neat things to see in Old San Juan, though. If you haven't been.....be sure to explore. We got off the ship around 9:30. First we went to CVS to pick up a couple of things we needed. There is a nice CVS right there on the waterfront. Then we walked up to the Starbuck's (right behind the Sheraton). We each got an hour of Wi-Fi here. We got caught up on e-mail, etc. Here's the Senor Frog's Mobile: Starbucks: We took a leisurely walk back to the ship.....mainly because my sandals were rubbing a blister on my foot!! There was a long line to get onto the pier. Be sure and have a photo ID here. The line took so long because people did not have their sea pass cards AND ID's out ready to show the security people.

joand452 Posted May 26, 2014 #125 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We got off Indy on 4/20! We were on the 8-day (same itinerary as your second week). We would have loved to been able to do that 6-day as well. Some day...sigh... Lots of good hints on beaches! Looking forward to more of the review and photos!
