sewut Posted September 23, 2014 #251 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Go into dictionary.com and enter curacao. When it comes up there will be a little speaker symbol next to the word and if you click on it you will hear someone say "coor-a-sow" Hope this helps. Thanks, I'll just think of a sick pig that needs to go to the vet to cure a sow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehenfan Posted September 23, 2014 #252 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Spent many a Sunday afternoon at Jetty Park with my two kids when they were little. We lived in Cocoa Beach. Since then, I too lost my son and seeing these wonderful pictures brought back many happy memories. This area has grown so much since I lived there. I remember when Ron Jon's was just one fairly small building. LOL ! I love to cruise from PC because I always fly down a couple days early and visit all my favorite spots. I am really enjoying your wonderful report and the pictures are amazing. Thanks to you and your wife for all your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted September 23, 2014 Author #270 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I have received a gift from the Players Club. I guess they are happy that I’m losing my shirt this cruise. Lol….. Now it was time to head to the Piano Man Bar for the Diamond members cocktail party with the Captain. There are 15 Diamond members on the cruise this week, so Captain Giuseppe Giusa made sure to spend time talking to each and every one. Also there, was the Hotel Director Donato Becce, and other Senior Staff members. The party lasted about an hour, and there were plenty of drinks and appetizers. My bar waitress, Ieva, from the dining room was there, and she kept the drinks coming! Afterwards, we made our way to the EA Sports Bar, for some pre dinner drinks and watch the Yankee game. Soon it was time for dinner….. Ryan is ready for dinner….. Patti and Jamman….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 23, 2014 Author #271 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It was another great dinner. I started off with the cod fish balls….. Ryan had the Cannelli….. And Patti had the crab cakes….. For my entrée, I started off with the linguini and sausage….. Followed by an order of spareribs….. Patti had the salmon for her entrée, and Ryan once again, had the chicken. We all had the smores parfait for dessert. After dinner, Ryan went to Club O2, Patti went to check emails, and do a little shopping. I went to do battle at the blackjack tables, and after a few hours I walked out with a hundred or so. Yippee!!! Back to the cabin for a good night’s sleep. Here is tonight’s towel animal…. Good Night! Coming up next: Our 3rd relaxing sea day.

The infinity pool and beach belongs to the Renaissance Resort and Casino. I do not think that they offer a day pass there, but I could be wrong.
