Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #402 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We head to the upper level of the tender because we know that the upper level will get off first. Here I am enjoying my last drink from HMC….. From the upper deck you can get some good views as we begin to head back to the ship. Here’s one of the Carnival Pride….. I guess we’ll see the finished work when we’re back here in July….. Here are our final views of HMC as we tendered back to the Pride….. To be continued…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #403 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We are approaching the Carnival Pride….. Our balcony is in the middle of this picture on Deck 6….. Looking up at the whale tail….. Once back on board, I went up to Guy’s Burger and got myself a “Ringer”. Patti and Ryan went back to the cabin and ordered a room service snack of veggie platters, Caesar salad, and grilled cheese sandwiches….. To be continued…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #404 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We hung out in the cabin relaxing, and enjoyed a beautiful sunset, until it was time to head to dinner….. Ryan is hungry and ready to eat….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #405 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I started off with two shrimp cocktails, and an order of tomatoes and mozzarella cheese….. Patti started with the tomatoes and mozzarella, and we both had the lasagna….. Ryan had the chicken noodle soup, and an order of the jumbo fried shrimp….. For dessert, Patti had the apple pie, I had chocolate ice cream, and Ryan had orange and lime sherbert. Ken Byrne wowed the crowd with his rendition of “New York, New York”…… Ryan got up to dance with the waiters….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #406 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Afterwards, we all decided to head to the casino and gamble for a few hours. When all was said and done, I had lost $200, and Ryan had broken even playing blackjack. Patti was tonight’s winner, winning $100, playing the slots. Way to go Patti!! We were exhausted from the day, so back to the cabin we all went. Tonight’s towel creature was waiting for us….. Also waiting for us was our Diamond invitation from the Captain, Francesco Borgogna….. Coming up next: Our short, but very enjoyable stay in Freeport, or how to have a blast without leaving the pier area!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandot Posted April 29, 2015 #407 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Still loving your review, as always! Thanks so much for sharing the HMC bar list - I don't think that I have seen that before. Only 137 days til our Pride cruise (and first cruise in a long while). Thanks for filling it in with great pictures and stories. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted April 29, 2015 #410 Share Posted April 29, 2015 By the way Jeff I noticed in your cruise countdowns that you are booked on the 3-day CTN on the Vista. I just booked that as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutontow Posted April 29, 2015 #414 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thankfully no. Some items are jacked up a buck on HMC. Jeff, I noticed something strange at the Captain Morgan Bar. Bud Light was $1.00 cheaper when they were closing. We were there 4/15/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #415 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Jeff, I noticed something strange at the Captain Morgan Bar. Bud Light was $1.00 cheaper when they were closing. We were there 4/15/2015 Just checked my S&S printout, and I was charged $6.75 + 15% right to the bitter end, and as you know, no breaks on the buckets of beer on the island. We are by no means wealthy, but to tell you the truth, when I'm on a cruise I pay no attention to the prices. If we want something we get it, and face the music later. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted April 29, 2015 #416 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Good to know. Next time we stop at HMC I will fill my collapsable cooler up with beer on the ship. Edited April 29, 2015 by Jimmy Geegitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want something we get it, and face the music later. :D Two things, we feel exactly as you do. When we are on vacation we pretty much say damn the cost we are here to enjoy ourselves. Number 2- From the looks of your lovely family I would say you are quite wealthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkehlb Posted April 29, 2015 #419 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi! Silly question I'm sure - we use S&S cards for beverages on HMC, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainepaddler Posted April 29, 2015 #420 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Here we are waiting for the last tender at the Rumrunners Bar….. This is a brilliant strategy. Hopefully I can convince my wife to do this when we are there in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted April 29, 2015 Author #421 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi! Silly question I'm sure - we use S&S cards for beverages on HMC, right? That is correct. This is a brilliant strategy. Hopefully I can convince my wife to do this when we are there in February. Thanks!! Why stand out in the hot sun when you can sit in the shade and drink!! :D The same strategy can be used to avoid the long lines to re-board in Grand Turk.

SandyBShores Posted April 30, 2015 #422 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Is there a bar in Grand Turk from which you can see how long the re-board line is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NatsFan15 Posted April 30, 2015 #425 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm so into your review that I actually felt a little sad looking at the pictures of the beach from onboard the tender. This review has me so pumped up for our trip 6/14 with the same itinerary! Thank you so much again for such a great review!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
