I will post all of them that I have before I wrap up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 28, 2015 Author #203 Share Posted August 28, 2015 We awoke early as usual, we had done another sleepover with our two grandchildren that were sailing with us. After breakfast, we went back to the room and watched as we sailed into Curacao from our balcony. Our plans were to walk around town, then catch a taxi over to a time share that my daughter has, which is right next to the seaquarium. Curacao is a very interesting island with a rich history in oil production which is still evident. We found the people there to be very friendly and open. The vibrant colors are unique as is some of the bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSaints1 Posted August 30, 2015 #206 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Did you find it busy on sea days, was it easy to find a chair on the serenity deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #207 Share Posted August 30, 2015 We spent about 4 hours over at the Royal resort enjoying their very quiet pool. This resort is next to the Sea aquariam. We then headed back to the ship area, where we did some wandering around and some shopping, then headed back on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #208 Share Posted August 30, 2015 About half of us went back to the MDR for dinner that night and the rest that had not gone to the Cucina the previous night, went that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #209 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The next day was to be another day at sea, before making our last port of call in Grand Turk. 8 day cruises are something we really enjoy as it gives you some time to relax, mixed in with wonderful islands. The group by this time had really settled into a cruise routine. We all enjoyed that day at sea to the max. One of our group even won the hairy man chest contest. We spent a lot of time during dinner laughing about hat and other events of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #210 Share Posted August 30, 2015 We awoke the next morning as the ship was pulling into Grand Turk. Our plans were to spend the day around the pool (we had rented a cabana), watch some of our group on the flow rider and just plain chill out.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #214 Share Posted August 30, 2015 After just another lovely day, we headed back to the ship about 2:30. GT is one of those wonderful ports where people stay on the beach and in the water till the last moment. There were at least 20 people in the water as the ship horn sounded. We managed to get under way only 20 minutes late..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #216 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That night we had plans. The first was to have a cocktail party in our suite for our group, and then the majority were going to the steakhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one port where I would find it hard to imagine facing the other way. WOW, congrats on the 50th milestone! We were discussing this weekend whether we could see the way to 50. I think you will really love the Sunshine and this cruise. Feel free to ask any questions. This is one port where I had wished I took more pictures. I should be finishing up in the next day or so.

thrillfan Posted August 31, 2015 #224 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Anxiously awaiting your review since we're doing the same cruise March 5. I always love a good picture review! 😀 I will be on the same cruise with you. Come on over to our roll call. We have a slot pull, cabin crawl, meet and greet and door decoration contest. Hope to hear from you soon.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted September 1, 2015 Author #225 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We made our way down to the 4th floor and the Steakhouse. We had the entire back wall of the Steakhouse for our group. Here are a couple of shots of the group during the meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
