Unfortunately none of the ships are part of RC or Celebrity fleet. 

True. I’m going to see if some of Princess’s older ships still dock there. 
Just one more time is all I ask.

Hello!  I have been following along with your trip--You sound like lovely people! Thank you for all of the help and pictures.  We appreciate it.  

 

We will be on the Allure in June.  My teenager has aged out of Adventure Ocean 😞  He is very excited about his new freedom while his brother goes to AO. 

 

Could you please post a Teen Compass?  He would love to look at it. We have never needed one before and I can't seem to find a recent one.  

 

Thanks so much!

 

Sure, I'll see if I can get one

Oh John, If you're using that much brown sugar, you're defeating the purpose. I would be an expert because I use probably about 50% MORE brown sugar when I have oatmeal.

 

Personally, I think it needed salt first.

 

I seem to recall that from childhood

Out and about on our final sea day

 

Forgot to post my egg white omelet from this morning. Pro Tip, they are generally smaller than regular 3 egg omelet. Taste is about the same.

Had to wait 20 minutes since we wanted indoors. Laura went and got her free photo

 

View from a less blurry DL glass pane😉

 

My favorite appetizer was served today. 

Cherry pepper with cream cheese. 

I may have eaten a few prior to this photo😉

 

I think you can order them in Vintages Tapas menu. I had them there on the TA

Formal Night. First dress up since Mid March 2020. Not a lot of participation 

 

Coming down to Entertainment Place

 

I wished I had real camera with me. Could have been more creative.

 

FWIW, it's been fairly cool indoors. Laura said she needs to pack warmer for next cruise.

 

Speaking of next cruise, I think we are going to cancel Harmony TA. To much going on at home. Will be back for Harmony on November 14th, though.😁

[John&LaLa]

BTW, watched a little of Aqua Show from DL. We were overdressed to be outside.

 

Did notice a lot of families with littles watching from Deck 7 balcony. I guess that gets around the vaccination rule for BW level

I thought the same about Adventure. Glad I brought several jackets....

Hope to see you both on Harmony! Last time we sailed "together" was on the TA to Barcelona. Maybe we'll actually meet this time! 😄

Forgot something.  

 

Laura has gone Rogue and cut off her vaccination bracelet. 😱

 

Didn't compliment her jewelry tonight. 

 

Hope she can get off in Coco Cay🤣🤣

We've probably met at least a dozen CC folks this week. I'm fairly recognizable.  🤣

@John&LaLa I like your GIF! Very cool animation... almost life-like!

John, do you know if the credit can be used for Tapas in Vintages?  Hadn’t thought of that!

You sure it isn't Laura that's recognized? 😁

Did Laura get to see Mama Mia tonight?

Not sure, but the answer could vary

These look quite different from the ones I've seen worn in the Windjammer.

Day 7 Compass. Time for a last hurrah

Forgot to mention the dreaded departure letter came yesterday. Luggage tag determined by the survey I filled out a few days ago

From the internet I learned that Havensight is a nickname for the "West Indian Company Dock". Searching for that name, I found this website http://wico-ltd.com/cruise-ship-dock/ship-schedule-port-availability which has PDFs for the cruise ships schedule into St. Thomas. In the PDF, look for the location WICO.

October shows 4 ships in the WICO port (Norwegian Gem, Carnival Freedom and Magic, and Viking Orion).

Thank you so much!  My son will be so happy to see this.  This is exactly what we were trying to find.  My boys have always gone to Adventure Ocean, so we are really used to that. This teen stuff is a new adventure. 🙂  We are all so happy to be able to cruise again.

Our son loved the teen club when he was a teenager! They even had a ‘prom-like’ dance. He hit it off so well with other teens that he would have the once a day obligatory meal with us, then rush off to eat again with them. 😂 

 

I suggest he goes to the first gathering. They seem to buddy-up then.
