Harmony Live, March 10th to 17th - If you need me, call me on my shell.


Recommended Posts

We rode Pope Class Style today in a Mercedes Sprinter Van, not even the open air truck box. You’ll never guess who our driver was today.

We are headed to the helipad sail away in a few minutes. I am dressed up and ready to roll. White should be formal enough for 150 CP tonight. Right?

Look how this guy dries his swim suit. Creative, for sure.

How was the sailaway party? Wife and I will be in a GS on Harmony next month. Any festivities/drink options? My wife likes to maximize active time, so trying to decide if this is worth the time away from other activities.

Andrew, thanks so much for the answer to the Johnny Rockets question. Hope they keep it that way for awhile.

Looked like a perfect day for you guys! So happy for you all!

he liked the morning activities, called “Balls, Balls, Balls”. What 10 year old boy wouldn’t, for the humour or the sports.

 

 

How did Owen like "Balls, balls, balls?" Was it a morning full of fun and innuendos?

Sharon with her first bushwhacker. Thumbs up.

 

That was cruel on so many levels. One of these days I'll finally learn how to load pictures here and get my revenge. But then when I do a review people will copy and post them over and over and drive me insane. Hmm....

We were joking about it all day. [emoji846]

I’d be sure to re-post all the photos. [emoji6]

 

Wish I knew the name of the weather app..... [emoji3]

Enjoying your review and love the pictures and videos.

 

Owen seems to be doing very good on the boogie board. Has he ever tried stand-up yet or is he too young?

 

Next best thing to being on a cruise is a great live review like this! Thanks for taking us along.

The had Champaign, and a fruity type of drink but I took a bottle of water as I knew it would be relatively hot. Unfortunately we had dinner reservations at 6 so had had to leave before we got far away from the pier. We have enjoyed it in the past, as it is a unique thing to do, but we don’t always attend. I’d say go at least once, espically if you have never done it.

Thanks for the kind words Judy. As for Owen’s height, he is about 1/8 of an inch to short to try stand up. However, a year from now on his next ship with a wave he will be.

For those who asked about where we were today, here is some information. We were at the Emerald Bay Beach Club. It is minutes from the ship, and there is no admittance cost. Taxi was $4 per person each way. It is ant as nice as Meagan’s or Coki but it is less than 15 minutes from buzzing off the ship to stepping onto the beach. I will say though that it has become a lot busier over the years.

 

Here is a map to the beach.

You can get chairs etc or just sit on the sand. They have sea doos, fly boarding, food and a bar. The beach is very sandy and there are a few rocks in the water but it is no where like the amount in the Great Lakes. Washrooms are clean and it has a very safe feel.

 

Here are a few pics of the area.

Now I’m going to be honest, where we were did need storm repairs in spots. If you looked you would see it, but if saw the positive you could glance over it.

 

This is what the bar looked like after Irma. They, like others in the island, are rebuilding.

That being said the very loosely deemed resort next door appears not to be. It was a dive before and now the only thing operating there is the bar. The same situation plays throughout the island.

But the bar is open at the non operational resort. They are trying to make the best of it.

Even at the busy Crown Bay Port you could see cosmetic damage to the buildings. This is a small example.

After you get back on the ship and look at the surroundings you can see it.

Amazingly where we were there were no beached boats in the immediate area, but some in the distance. The hills are starting to green up, but they have a way to go. When you look at the hills you can see debris such as roofs and walls that had been thrown around. Not to mention he amount of blue tarps on roofs of buildings.

We did our part to help the local economy and it will take a long time for them to round the corner.

We also had some animal spotting going on. These two beasts fought, but not to the death.

And speaking of animals it’s the perfect segue to the next pictures. Our towel animal zoo.

 

First was the elephant.

Followed by the dog.

Then in honour of Lucy, we got a cat with a mouse. I considered getting ketchup and squirting the mouse, but it didn’t.
