I know some have asked about the ladies dress on this cruise, so I will try to give my impression. 

 

There are probably only 15% or less with sleeveless outfits, and those are usually on the younger ones.  Most, including Susan, have sleeves plus either a jacket or wrap.  I think most are comfortable in that.  If it is too warm, you just take the jacket or sweater off. 

 

I could check out more outfits, but I may get in trouble 😬

 

 

That's because many cancelled their gym memberships this winter! LOL!

Go ahead and check them all out....especially the swim suits.! HA HA.

For those who have asked for copies of the compasses, I may have to wait until I am home to upload.  Uploading photos have been tough with either the web version, or Tapatalk. 

Thanks.  Enjoy the rest of your cruise.  Hope the weather gets better!

We are doing crystal caves discovery, so we will see how it is

I loved that!

If you get a chance, cross the road to Grotto Bay hotel and walk through  their grounds to the "Cave Spa".......really beautiful.

If you have the time, go to Horseshoe Bay beach.  Possibly my favorite beach anywhere.

 

And if the seas are rough on the return trip, ginger is supposed to be a natural cure for seasickness.  I take mine in the form of ginger ale, with a shot of Jack. 😀

We stayed there for a land vacation a couple years back.  Great place!

I did do a short periscope on spur of the moment as we sailed in. Didn’t know what quality it would be with this internet.  Sorry there is wind noise.  I forgot my wind screen. 

 

Anyone wants to to see a replay, it is here.

Just followed you!  I'm @KathLuvsGH.  I belong to a group of periscopers, that scope from cruise ships all around the world.  I'll be scoping my cruise next week!

The top tier party was sparsely attended, likely due to the weather. 

 

The makeup for this cruise is 

600+ Gold

155 Platinum

104 Emerald  

106 D

55 D+

17 Pinnacles

The top three cruisers had 825, 974, and 1050 points

Wow!  That is a sparse crowd.  We had almost every seat full for our cruise.  I hope the weather smooths out for you.

Well, we are back from our day ashore, so there is a lot to get caught up on.  But how about some food porn first?

 

We were both hungry when we got back on the ship, so we headed to the MDR and ordered the Chops filet for the $16.95 up-charge. Well wort it, when there wasn’t anything on the menu we were crazy about.

And, we both had the raisinless apple pie

We know it won't be Tampa Bay.  Blue Jackets gonna surprise everyone.

The jackets did okay, but I still think it will be the Isles.  That way, I won’t feel as bad about the Pens elimination

The captain joked that eating a lot of food was a cure for sea sickness, and that everyone was in the WJ getting the cure. 😂

Good to hear you saw it. I did a few from Harmony in November. I am kind of new to scopes. 

 

The internet has not been great, so I didn’t know if it would even work. Plus, all the outdoor decks were closed due to weather, until we were almost to port

I scope a lot...we do drink scopes for various holidays, as well as scope from all our cruises.  I can't post the name of the group here, but if you look at any of my cruise scopes there is a hashtag in the title that starts with RC.  If you click on that hashtag, you'll see scopes from everyone in our group.  We have a lot of fun... 😄

Is it part of the RCPeriscoper’s group?  I have followed a few of them.

Happy Easter everyone. Yesterday, we had the Crystal Caves Excursion. The island is 22 miles long, and our excursion would take us over most of the length.

This map shows where the ship docks, and where the caves are on the other end.

Along the way, we stopped at the Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse. Our tour driver, Mark, had two of his small daughters along. They were a couple of cuties, and these two grabbed hold of Susan and had her climb the lighthouse with them.
