Trainman-2 Posted November 18, 2015 Author #303 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I shot a bunch of photos yesterday and will never get them all uploaded but I will do what I can. We were moving slowly up to the pier yesterday when word of another ship backing in spread across the pool deck. It was the Anthem and it was the first time I had ever seen one of this new class. When we debarked later on the wind was really blowing through the "canyon" created by the two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted November 18, 2015 Author #304 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The shopping area immediately ashore at St Kitts was nicely laid out and extensive. People on ship sponsored tours were met and marched off to their buses. Once you entered the shopping area there were plenty of tour operators available offering all kinds of activities. The Shops offered the usual "stuff" available on any island. We did not see a "Senior Frogs" or a "Margaritaville" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted November 18, 2015 Author #305 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Judith spent several weeks her about 20 years ago but just about everything she remembers is gone. Back them growing Sugar Cane and producing sugar was the main industry on the island but the cane industry is long gone today. The sugar cane plant was located next to the power plant and after the cane juice was squeezed out of the cane, the left over was moved to the power plant where it was burned to power the electrical generators. I did find, by accident, a small portion of the old narrow gauge railroad that was used to haul the cane to the power plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted November 18, 2015 Author #306 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) There were two RCI sponsored train rides. KT08SR - Caribbean Scenic Rail & Sail ($154) KT05SR - Caribbean Scenic Railway Tout ($109.75) Both were sold out so we didn't go...

Trainman-2 Posted November 18, 2015 Author #309 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The Anthem of the seas has a nice little public "balcony like" area just above the gangway where people can watch for runners at sail away time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting sail for fun Posted November 18, 2015 #313 Share Posted November 18, 2015 There were two RCI sponsored train rides. KT08SR - Caribbean Scenic Rail & Sail ($154) KT05SR - Caribbean Scenic Railway Tout ($109.75) Both were sold out so we didn't go... We did the one without the sail portion and enjoyed the minibus tour to the train. We did it twice and we had the same driver both times. He was an older gentleman and was very informative. The tours were probably sold out due to both ships being in port. We were lucky in August in that we were the only ship in port that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5326jan Posted November 18, 2015 #314 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The new lifeboats look like a combination of school bus and subway car! Very fancy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky616 Posted November 18, 2015 #315 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Dominica looks beautiful. I've always wanted to go there. Sailing on the Adventure southern Caribbean in April but that's not one of our stops. Next time I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHProud Posted November 18, 2015 #316 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Jim , while trying to find your location last night I came upon this web page : sea-scanner .com (sea-scanner dot com ). It lists in port in Roseau ( Dominica) / Lesser Antilles, today : MS Serenade 2,110 PAX MS Britannia 3,647 PAX MS Silver Sea 382 PAX Total in port 6,139 PAX Britannia must be a mistake . I really like this web page. The info for our cruise on Serenade next summer is up to date concerning a port change.

mark290 Posted November 18, 2015 #322 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Do you display your clothes for everyone on the pier to see? Only if I want to give peeping toms with a zoom lens something to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted November 18, 2015 #324 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Who is the HD? F&B? Thx. The Hotel Director is Adriana Tibaudo. Sorry, can't recall F&B manager. We both had the fried Chicken Strips which were as good and any we have had anywhere. Yes, we found this too. My brother in law couldn't get enough of them last week. :) Edited November 18, 2015 by Langley Cruisers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
