ncklhaus Posted February 25, 2017 Author #376 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Originally posted by Bonobochick Shanghai's was only open for dinner. It was open embarkation day. The restaurant serves fried rice dishes too as well as standard Chinese restaurant appetizers. 7 The menu doesn't change. Do you need to make reservations for Shanghai on line before sailing or can you just walk up and book a table? MARAPRINCE No reservations. You just walk up and get seated. I'd advise going when they first open or an hour before they close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyESQ Posted February 26, 2017 #378 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks so much Amy. I appreciate it. It was a pleasure meeting you and hopefully we meet again some day. We are doing Breakaway again for the 7 night Florida, Nassau, and Great Stirrup Cay on December 15th. I've been enjoying your review and all the pictures of the Breakaway in anticipation of our trip. Just realized we'll be on board with you in December. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted March 1, 2017 Author #383 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Since we fell in love with snorkeling yesterday and our friends were going again today, Melissa and I decided to book the excursion with our friends. I believe it was Snorkel St Kitts. You may have noticed that I haven't been mentioning my husband Mike much throughout this review. That's because he was sick and miserable for most of it. He never set foot off the ship from the time we boarded until we got back to NY. He went to Vibe maybe twice. It turns out he was suffering from a gall bladder attack and a blood infection. He is very stubborn and refuses to admit when he is sick. He took Melissa's antibiotics that the ship doctor prescribed for her. When we got home, he went to his doctor and he said that those antibiotics probably saved his life. Had he gone to the ships infirmary, he probably would have been airlifted from the ship. He's still not fully himself yet. He was very overweight and since we've been home (around 6 weeks) he's lost almost 60 pounds. He was at the doctor again today and he says he's recovering slowly but steadily and will have a full physical in 2 weeks. I'm trying to add more pictures to this review but I keep getting error messages. :mad:. WTH?? I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe what happened to your husband! I thought he was at the casino the whole time as you girls were hanging out on the beaches. So sorry to read about his gall bladder issues :( What bad luck. :( Wishing him a speedy recovery!! You guys definitely need to rebook so he can experience all the fun times! We are looking at the Western Caribbean 2 weeks on the Epic for 2019! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted March 2, 2017 Author #387 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am REALLY trying to continue with this review and post the pictures from the morning of St Kitts. For some reason, even though I uploaded them to my photo hosting site from my phone, and I can see them on the hosting site through my phone, I can't see them on my Kindle, which is where I do my review. I am getting SO frustrated. :mad: Plus, when I try to continue the review from my phone, all of the pictures are out of order. I'm not talking just mixed up a little. I mean the photos I uploaded in the past few days are mixed in with the photos from our cruise in 2005! Seriously!!?? In the meantime, I may just skip the St Kitts morning (breakfast in O'Sheehan's) and just skip to the pictures my friend Jane took in St Kitts.

ncklhaus Posted March 2, 2017 Author #388 Share Posted March 2, 2017 So after the breakfast in O'Sheehan's and beautiful views of St Kitts from our balcony, which I will hopefully be able to post soon, we were off the ship. The meeting place for our excursion was at the end of the pier, under a tarp/tent with not enough seats for everyone. No biggie. We were going snorkeling again! After a wait of around 20 minutes, our guides showed up and walked us through a gate that led to the Marina. The name of the boat we were boarding....Daddy's Girl. Once again, this excursion provided you with gear and a mandatory life best. The excursion in Barbados had optional vests. Needless to say, by the end of the excursion, I was happy that I had the best. Melissa and her kid sized flippers Me, Melissa, and our friend Jane. These are her pictures.

ncklhaus Posted March 4, 2017 Author #392 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Back to the morning of St Kitts. We woke up to this view. This ship was next to us There must have been a few big groups traveling together because you can see that the balcony dividers were removed to make very large balconies.

ncklhaus Posted March 4, 2017 Author #393 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We went down to O'Sheehan's for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted March 4, 2017 Author #394 Share Posted March 4, 2017 No breakfast on a cruise would be complete without an extra spicy Bloody Mary. They made them STRONG!! We got off the ship to head to the meeting place for our excursion. I thought the Celebrity Reflection had a really cool rear end. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
