clarkg Posted March 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just finished my blog post. You can see it here... http://clarkanddeb.blogspot.com/2019/02/caribbean-2019.html My mother-in-law came with us on the trip. She lives in Tampa so she took us to Molly's for dinner. I highly recommend it. So many fun looking ships went by us, my wife snapped this picture of one. When I left Seattle area, there was 8" to 10" of snow on the ground. I sent this picture back home to my coworkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkg Posted March 1, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted March 1, 2019 La Bistro restaurant. We went to three while on board, but this one was my least favorite. They've changed the menu since the last time I was there. I used to like it a lot. Ships leaving Miami. We were one of the last to leave. We had towel animals every night. I really liked that.

clarkg Posted March 2, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Harvest Caye was hot that day, Even in February. I enjoyed it though, especially after a jumped into the pool. An obligatory picture of the Belize sign. My mother-in-law posing in front of the sign. There was a shuttle for those who didn't want to walk down the long pier. Even though it was hot, there were a lot of picture taking opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkg Posted March 2, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I loved the building design they did for area. Shop keepers were very friendly. The main thing to do in Costa Maya was shop. There were also traditional Maya show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother-in-law, the ship and the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkg Posted March 3, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Pretty much all there is to do at Great Stirrup Cay. I did see some zip lines under construction though. The water was great, although a little on the cold side in February. Obligatory sign picture. It's a tender port which means you can get some great shots of the ship from the ocean. Just don't get the corner of the tender in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkg Posted March 3, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted March 3, 2019 We toured Hemingway's house while we were in Key West. The most stolen sign in the United States. This one was only four days old while we were there. We had to stop and get some Key Lime Pie. It was delicious. I didn't go in, but I loved the sign, especially the flags on either side. Conch Republic The waves were drenching people as they stopped to do their selfies. Bench at the Southernmost Cafe. Key West was my favorite stop. Next time I'll spend more time there.
