Around 11:30 we headed over to the lunch buffet. The jerk chicken had great flavor but it was cold but the side dishes were good. They had a real yummy rice. They had some really cute little baby chicks walking around the seating area. After lunch we went over to the pirate ship bar to check it our. It had some really great views.

We hung out at the bar for a while watching people doing line dancing. We headed back to the chairs for a while then attempted to go back in the water again. This time we lasted a little while longer, we watched some fish swim by that were pretty. We met a lady in the water that was talking about the shells she was finding in the water. The lady grabbed something out of the water and said "oh look, someone dropped their cell phone in the water." Them she started looking at it and said " hey they have the cell phone as mine. Oh and it's broken just like mine....but I didn't bring my with me" the she said "oh no! Wait a minute I did bring mine, I put it in my bathing suit top". Then she realized that the phone that she retrieved from the water. Then she left to see if there was anything she could do to salvage it. Poor lady, I hope she got it working.

After that we went back to the chairs until unfortunately it was time to head back the ship.

 

 

I thought this cabana was really pretty. Love the bright colors.

The view from a little church we walked by. It would be an amazing place for a wedding.

Great job so far and love the pics. We are doing this same cruise May 30th and I am really looking forward to HMC. Can't believe the water. Looks so clear like a swimming pool.

 

Thanks. The water at Half Moon Cay is simply amazing. The pictures don't do it justice.

We watched sail away from our balcony. Then got ready for dinner. That night we were sat at a 6 top and met a an interesting young couple who was just starting a three month vacation and after the cruise were headed to Sri

Lanka, Nepal and Vietnam. That's the reason I refer anytime dinning, you get an opportunity to meet so many interesting people. Dinner on the Glory seemed to take a REALLY long time and service was slow. It didn't really bother me but I did hear several other people complain about it.

 

After dinner we went back to the room to get ready for the deck party and this little guy was waiting for us:

Then we headed up to the Red Frog Deck party. I love the deck parties and the line dancing. It started to rain a bit during the deck party but we didn't let a little rain stop us.

After the part we headed to the piano bar which once again wasn't that great so we left and went to get pizza. They now have Pizza Plus late at night which has chicken Parmesan sandwiches, lasagna and ceaser salad as choices along with the pizza. I got the sandwich which I really did not care for at all. It was really dry. After pizza we sat on the balcony for a while then went to bed.

Love your anchor fingernail. Thanks for sharing all this great info....didn't know about Pizza Plus. Did you by chance take any pictures of the dinner menus or have food pics from the MDR to share?

We woke up and once again headed to breakfast at the Blue Iguana. After breakfast we headed back to the room to watch us sail into Grand Turks.

Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of the ship to see us dock, so we went out on the lido deck to check out the view. We were docked next to a HAL ship.

If you look closely you can see a HAL crew member cleaning the balcony window

The water here is so amazing

We then went down to deck 0 and got of the ship. Once off the ship you see this amazingly beautiful water! We walk down the dock and found a couple of beach chairs and relaxed in the sun for a while. Then we decided to go to Margaretville and grab some drinks and go for a swim in the pool. The water was cold when we first got in but we quickly got used to it. We went to the swim up bar and ordered some margaritas which were pretty strong and we had a few jello shots which were tasty and only cost $1.00 each. Then we decided to swim around the pool for a while. The pool is more like a lazy river. The part by the bar is quite loud and can get pretty crazy with all the people and the DJ but it is fun. There is also a 0 depth part of the pool for younger kids. We stopped next to the Flow rider and watched the people do that for a while. It was fun to watch they people get on the board one at a time and the instructors tell them what to do. After watching for a while we decided to get out of the pool and walk down to Jacks Shack for a few drinks. The walk down is beautiful, the beach here is just so amazing and the water is crystal clear. As we were walking down to Jacks Shacks we watched the HAL ship sail away.

Jacks Shack is a fun little bar with friendly staff. We grabbed a couple of seats and ordered some drinks. I have been wanting to try conch so I decided to order some conch fritters. I’m glad I did they were delish.

we had a great time hanging out at the bar. We met quite a few people from the ship and had a fun time chatting with them and the server we had was really friendly and we chatted with him for a while and had some more drinks. After spending a couple of hours at the bar we walked back to our beach chairs. On the walk back we came across these cute little houses and I found one that look empty so I decided that I wanted it to be my future residence.

After we were back on the ship we were hungry so we decided that we hungry so we went to the Lido deck to grab something to eat. Back in 2012 when I was on the Liberty I tried a Guys Burger and hated it. I thought it was WAY overrated. Since then I refused to eat another one. For some reason I decided to give Guys another try and OMG, I'm glad I did! I had the ringer and it was good!

 

After eating that delicious burger we went to put balcony to watch sail away.

After we went an walked around the ship. Then it was time for dinner. After diner our towel animal was waiting for us along with Diane's platinum gift

After dinner we went to watch guess that 70s tune with Dr E. That was so much fun! He does it at the stage by the casino and plays clips of 20 songs from the 70s. After he says all the clips he goes girls through the list song by song and has people sing and dance along. If you want get a seat you have to get there really early.

Next we headed to the piano bar which surprisingly was pretty good that night. He sang a lot of upbeat songs and had a good size crowd. So we ended up staying there til the place closed then headed off to bed
