ckrobyn Posted May 10, 2017 Author #351 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I watched Allure dock in St. Maarten this morning via the webcam (http://www.portstmaartenwebcam.com/). Enjoy your day. :D Thanks!

Shar27 Posted May 10, 2017 #352 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We have done many b2b's with St.Maarten on both weeks, and while one week can be like glass, the next can be so rough you're risking your life if you go in....

Ocean Boy Posted May 10, 2017 #353 Share Posted May 10, 2017 As many times as we have been to this island I never get tired of it. I always feel a bit disappointed if it is not on an itinerary that we are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted May 10, 2017 #354 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Still sunny so far..... We love renting a jeep and heading over to Mullet Bay Beach, which is, in my opinion one of the best beaches anywhere. The only real issue is the unpredictability of the waves over there. We have done many b2b's with St.Maarten on both weeks, and while one week can be like glass, the next can be so rough you're risking your life if you go in.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Have heard good things about Mullet, but didn't know that the water varies day by day. Glad the sun is out after all. Enjoy your day. Looking forward to hearing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrobyn Posted May 10, 2017 Author #363 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We made it back onboard - wow what a day! It was really sunny, and really hot. The beach was fantastic, my daughter certainly enjoyed it [emoji41] We shopped a little along Front St, and took the water taxi back to the ship. Right now we are sitting at the cafe promenade trying to cool down a bit with a cool drink before heading back to the cabin.

ckrobyn Posted May 10, 2017 Author #365 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We are just pulling away from the dock as I type this, from my balcony... Tonight we are planning to eat in the MDR - we have to at least once this cruise! Observation: there are thousands of passengers onboard, but surprisingly it never feels crowded. I'd heard it before, and now I can confirm it to be true. More later....[emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard it before, and now I can confirm it to be true. More later....[emoji41] Very true a lot of times, but then there are those that I would beg to differ....such as sea days by the pools and the nightly sales on the Promenade. :o Oh and lets not forget breakfast in the Windjammer on a port day around 8-9am!:eek: Glad the weather tuned out great for you again today. One thing I've learned is to totally ignore the weather reports in the tropics (unless there's a hurricane coming). It's never completely correct and rain is so isolated much of the time. I've been enjoying following along...looking forward to hear how your dinner in the MDR is tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit disappointed when we got the compass last night and here is what it said The forecast could not have been more wrong as you can see from the pics I posted all day ☀️ it's true, don't pay too much attention to the weather forecast in the Caribbean! I'll let you know our thoughts on the MDR. We have My Time and will be in the American Icon dining room.

ckrobyn Posted May 10, 2017 Author #370 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The Headliner tonight is El Gaucho. I've seen his act on other ships and while we have reservations, we are skipping the show. Time to head to the Diamond Lounge. I know there is a Cosmo calling my name [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
