tunaman2011 Posted February 20, 2018 #201 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Greetings Thanks for sharing your cruise, it seems like I am along for the voyage. Feeling much better about our upcoming trip at the end of March. I have seen multiple venues where they serve gelato. Is there one that stands out as the best?

OneParticularHarbour 71 Posted February 20, 2018 #204 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thank you for taking time from your vacation to post. I enjoyed your posts from your Divina cruise last year - they were very helpful in planning our Divina cruise and your Seaside posts are helpful for our upcoming Seaside cruise! Happy to see the price has come down for the zip line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicfairy Posted February 20, 2018 #205 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm sitting here reading your posts and looking at the photos and I can feel the gentle breeze....oh wait... Nope i left the back door open, the snow finally melted here in South Jersey and its 70° today! This makes the review just that much better!!

sidari Posted February 20, 2018 #206 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Nikki ... I knew that all the Bella, Fantastica and the B3 Aurea and aft side Aurea so called suites were the same though it appears some have showers and some have a bath. I am sure we will find the B3 somewhat smaller than the S3 Aft suite we had at Xmas. Have you had to leave items in your cases at all seeing as the wardrobe space is small. Interesting to see the zip line price drop, must be less people using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Posted February 21, 2018 #207 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Can access to the Aurea deck be purchased by the day like Divina? Please post photo of notice board, someone said you can rent a sun cabana for the week. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like $100 or something.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see the zip line price drop, must be less people using it. We doubled up on hangers and also I have put trousers over the lower rail. We did bring far too many clothes! Travelling stuff we have in our suitcases under the bed. To give you an idea of how much luggage, one suitcase weighed 23kgs and the other 21kgs at airport check in! I do believe in travelling light.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted February 21, 2018 Author #211 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just woke up to this lovely view! We have arrived in St Thomas in the early hours of the morning. And this is the view of the bridge! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted February 21, 2018 #212 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi Nikki ... St Thomas is our favourite island that we have been to so far, did i mention all the gold shops in Town ... ooops ... :p we bought Kerry`s Engagement ring there some time ago and bought a new one and a future wedding ring at Xmas ... :D We have decided not to take as much in April clothes wise due to the restricted space so we should be ok, we have some hangers that can hang 4 items on them so we will bring them with us again.

Rare nikkiw60 Posted February 21, 2018 Author #213 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Now last night we went to a show It was Frank Forever. Now it was a very good show I like that kind of music. The introduction was in many different languages and only took a couple of minutes for us Europeans it was like the introductions in the Eurovision Song Contest and made you giggle. The singing was very good definable an accent there and the singers sound to be classically trained. One especially he has long hair think called Martin. For some of the numbers they had some background dancers that were actually unnecessary and distracting! At the end of the show a lot of the audience gave a standing ovation. It isn’t a broadway production but a very enjoyable show none the less. People took drinks in with them.

Congratulations! I am actually annoyed as bought some lovely tanzanite studs in Cayman a couple of years ago at the familiar chain known to everyone one on every ship in the world... I was hoping to find a matching pendant this trip and what happened sometime somewhere on Monday I lost one of the studs! So that little bit of shopping is now out of the question!

Rare nikkiw60 Posted February 21, 2018 Author #215 Share Posted February 21, 2018 As we have an early start I need to start getting ready for our morning on the island we have a trip booked with an 8.30 meeting not the best time the morning after the white party! I will post yesterday’s dinner menus etc later also the daily planner. But just remembered I think it’s the second Elegant night tonight which seems to be an odd night to have it! Also got invite to Black party again at 5pm and the dress code in there is down as elegant! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kba1988 Posted February 21, 2018 #220 Share Posted February 21, 2018 @nikkiw60 - were you able to get any pictures of the seafood tower?? Dying to see how good it really looks.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted February 21, 2018 Author #221 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Okay a NEGATIVE coming up!!! Not the best day in ST Thomas! We booked through MSC the Peaks Pirates and Plunder tour. Biggest waste of money ever! You got taken to the top of the Island for the Peak bit, then comes the Pirate bit Assume the Plunder is this gift shop at the top of said peak? We then got dropped off in the main shopping area about an hour later approx 10.30 and was told there was a boat back to ship at either 12 noon or 1pm! Absolute waste of money and time on the island! Also was a pain being harassed at every shop we walked by! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
