Adding it here in the forum gives everybody the opportunity to reply and ask questions. 👍🏻 We join the ship March 20th for 20 nights and have a similar itinerary. We have done over 50 cruises but with a long break from Florida and Caribbean ports we are looking forward to relaxing In the sunshine once more. Even with all the extra testing and paperwork! You are welcome . We took a couple of years off - but we didn't forget how to cruise . 🙂😊 We were originally going to do a Transatlantic and a Northern European cruise to follow but we were concerned with the various issues that some of the countries have , which may make the trip difficult . We hope you all the best and that you're trip may be easy . Do you have any questions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 28, 2022 Author #104 Share Posted February 28, 2022 This is an area where the Caribbean and the Atlantic meet . Eric Clapton has a major home and recording studio on the peninsula with all of the brown roofs. Toward the center is another cliff and finally another one on the right . A catamaran cruised in and anchored beneath his house The cliff straight below and the cliff to the right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows the rest of a band to take a break while the drummer performs solo for a while. What camera or cell phone do you use to take all of these great photos?

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 28, 2022 Author #106 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) This area was a military base to view and protect Nelson's Dockyard in the South of Antigua . Every year there is a sailing regatta for about 200 super yachts from around the world in the Spring . Besides the old Officers Club the view from Shirley's Heights are fantastic .

I thought drum solo was for us to take a break . 28 minutes ago, caribill said: What camera or cell phone do you use to take all of these great photos? Thanks . I like a Sony RX-100 VII pocket camera cause I always carry it . I use it for food , videos , availability , pano shots and as a backup . My favorite camera is a full - size , full frame Canon 6D with assorted lens . Edited February 28, 2022 by scubacruiserx2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sure hope that you get to go and it looks things are getting a bit better and more easy . We did notice more crowds in February on Princess than on HAL in January but getting on and off was a breeze . We'll be watching sail away at 4 today and the weather is much nicer today than when we left - just 11 days ago ! 🙂 😎 Edited February 28, 2022 by scubacruiserx2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 28, 2022 Author #110 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) At lunch we talked about food and our guild suggested that we make another stop first . It was a shame to see their churches needing some TLC because they really are pretty ladies . https://www.uncommoncaribbean.com/antigua/saint-barnabas-anglican-church/ We thought that our guide had our goat when we told her what we wanted for lunch . Goat for Pat and Conch for me . But she said that she could accommodate us at the next stop - with Goat and Conch Water . At a cross road we pulled over under a Mango tree with blossoms and some small green fruit and crossed the street . Sure enough the sign said Goat and Conch Water . They were out of the Goat Water so we split a Large Conch and a crusty bread to dip in the water . It 's great to support independent business where people enjoy their jobs and do great job at a good price . The water was a thick broth with a great flavor and large , soft pieces of conch . As we sat eating in the Air Conditioned van in the warm sun and left we smelled a burning smell and the car had difficulty running .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 28, 2022 Author #112 Share Posted February 28, 2022 We booked today's cruise originally after canceling our TA and instead booked today's cruise for our anniversary . Less than 2 hours after paying Princess in full they changed our cabin from D 727 to A 747 . This meant a loss of privacy , sun and rain protection and 95 square feet . We considered this unacceptable and moved to the Baja 734 on the 8th of February instead . We think that some special people got our cabin and the same deck ( D ) was locked to the elevator and we never saw anyone on balconies of the decks during the entire cruise . Kinda spooky . 🔱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted March 1, 2022 Author #115 Share Posted March 1, 2022 While driving the car in a on again and off again circumstance , a young man signaled Emelda to stop . He checked the water and oil and they were low so he bought and added some oil and water . Emelda's son was on the way over to trade vehicles with his mom and took only a few minutes . Here's where we waited to meet our guide's son , who is a guide as well . Not a bad cove to visit while we waited ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted March 1, 2022 Author #116 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Emelda got us back to the port in time and was a wonderful guide at a fair price . We would definitely recommend her . Back on the ship we got a heads up on dinner in the MDR We had some time to look at our stablemates from some different views An extreme Pano shot The Celebrity Millennium This is a sister ship to the Constellation - the first TA crossing that we had on Celebrity . We lucked out and got an upgrade to a Family cabin just before we sailed . It was the first really nice balcony that we ever had and it extended out like a diving board or a pier . And our first wake view 🙂😊 Edited March 1, 2022 by scubacruiserx2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are double doors to the outside between the aft elevators and the aft stairs . It's just in front of the Vista lounge at the beginning/end of the indoor Promenade Deck . Kinda of a trafficked area . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
