Rare BillOh Posted September 13, 2016 #77 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Drinking water: I always drink the ships water and like it. This time it has a weird taste if you drink it in plastic. There's no aftertaste if you drink it in a glass. It's very weird. Smell the inside of the plastic cup before you put water in and I'll bet the smell will remind you of that taste.

sg1phileshipper Posted September 14, 2016 Author #79 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Before we go on with day 4, let me say that El Gaucho was simply amazing! And just like I thought, I have seen him before, probably on the Freedom of the seas Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1phileshipper Posted September 14, 2016 Author #80 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Day 4: Antigua, St. John Woke up a little earlier than usual, around 6.30 and couldn't go back to sleep. Continued watching my tv show on netflix and watched from the balcony how we pulled into port. Once the ship was docked, an ambulance pulled up and the went into the ship with a stretcher. I didn't stay to see what was going on, but someone was probably taken to hospital. I feel sorry for that person. Getting sick while on vacation and getting to hospital in a strange country. Adventure docked in St. John We had breakfast in the MDR, again it was very quiet in there. We went to shore and didn't have anything planned, so we took a taxi for a trip around the island. Our last stop was the amazing Dickensen Bay. I have never seen such a beautiful beach before TBC Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Edited September 14, 2016 by sg1phileshipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1phileshipper Posted September 14, 2016 Author #81 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Continued Wanted to do lunch at Johnny Rocket, so that's what I did. Food was really good, especially the onion rings. And they still dance Went to the screening room for the movie 'Me before you' and to my surprise it was nearly full. What a beautiful movie it was. Meet and mingle was at 5, but only 7 out of 60 showed up. And it was nice meeting those who showed up. They gave away 3 bottles of wine, each with two luggage tags. Just before leaving, mom saw four runners, but they didn't run. One of them was a probably drunk girl, a couple and a guy who walked really slowly. He started running when people on the balcony were yelling run. We were docked on the starboard side. Saint Maarten and St. Kitts on the port side. Dinner at 6 again. Here's the menu Had the fruit medley as a starter Main was manhattan strip steak. Cooking was perfect, but meat a little chewy Mom had the chicken cordon bleu and it was on the dry side Had a fruit platter as a dessert, but it looked so good I forgot the picture. Entertainment was the ice show and it was amazing. Line started at 8 or so, but there were seats left Tomorrow we should arrive in St. Lucia around 9. We have booked a ship's excursion. Since the Captain said the will be backing the ship into the port, I plan on going to the Windjammer around 7.30 Back to the water issue. As Bill said, I thought it was the plastic cups, but it isn't. This morning water in MDR had that weird taste and tonight not. So it's not always weird and it doesn't have anything to do with were you get it. Thanks to CC member Joan and her husband, I found out they seem to enhance the dress code. They saw people in shorts and slippers being turned away, which is fine by me. I'll be back tomorrow with more.

sg1phileshipper Posted September 14, 2016 Author #83 Share Posted September 14, 2016 We have a long day before lunch, so I am having a hearty breakfast.

sg1phileshipper Posted September 14, 2016 Author #84 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Something I forgot to mention. I can't sleep if I drink diet coke in the evening. So we each took 16 cans of caffeine free diet coke onboard. We carried it on, no questions asked, not even the open water was checked. Yesterday I bought a 5L bottle of water, two 1.5L bottles and I still had my tupperware bottles with water in it. They were all shaken, but he didn't want to tell what alcohol does. Water makes bubbles, so I guess alcohol doesn't? First time they checked it on this cruise :) Cindy Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg1phileshipper Posted September 14, 2016 Author #86 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Soda price: A can of soda is $3, so it comes at the whopping price of 3.54 gratuity included. You can order packs of coke and diet coke, but I can't remember how much it was. A 1L evian bottle is 4.96 Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torchd Posted September 15, 2016 #90 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi Cindy- I have been enjoying reading your daily updates on the AOS! I will be on this ship on 9/24 doing the same tour that you're doing. I love the helipad pics, from what I have read not a lot of people know about it and go up there. Have you found any secret doors yet? ;) And what does MDR stand for and I am guessing it is a restaurant? Have a safe trip, keep up the good work.

sg1phileshipper Posted September 15, 2016 Author #94 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The beautiful beach of the small fishing town of Anse la Raye Had an odd and scary experience there. I was taking a picture of a little arch with the name of the town. There was a guy sitting nearby, but not in the view of my picture and he started yelling at me that I couldn't take a pic and to put my camera away. I pointed to the arch and said I took a pic of that. He kept on yelling and saying I couldnt take a picture. I walked away and back into the bus... La Sufriere Volcano. Nearly the whole island is in the crater. Last activity was in 1776, a new one is overdue.

sg1phileshipper Posted September 15, 2016 Author #98 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) DAY 5 Continued Last night's show was Patrick McMahon, an Aussie guy impersonating John Denver, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, etc. I really love country music, so I really enjoyed it. The Quest was on at Studio B at 10.30. Since I was really tired, I didn't go. All that fresh air really wears me out. Lady's night was at 12. We were docked on the starboard side, so it was really interesting to watch people. All aboard was at 5.30 instead of 5, since we were a little late getting into Castries. I found it really interesting to see people take their time to shop at 5.25 and walk up to the ship at 5.35. I am simply amazed and shocked at the same time. I am writing to from a chair on deck 12. I was all alone here, but someone decided this was the best spot... All chairs are empty, so people must really like me. Hey dude, can you go yell somewhere else??????
