It happened…….

 

I think the most surprising thing is the bed  staying on the ceiling like that.

Looks like if you want to lay in bed and watch TV.....bring your binoculars.

When I sent the picture to my Girlfriend she asked if I was planning on picking up yoga.

I need suggestions for Aruba since we are there until 1030pm I was going to eat dinner someplace on the island. Looking for really good seafood restaurant so if anyone has any suggestions by all means throw them at me.

We like eating at El Gaucho's. It's more of an Argentinean Steakhouse but they have some excellent seafood dishes. Check out their menu. A little pricey but worth it to us. 😁

How are your seas today. We have smooth sailing as we head to San Juan tomorrow. 😎

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

It is a very wet and overcast day outside this morning. Just killing time while I wait on brunch.

It’s not as bad today, We have sailed through some thunderstorms so the decks are wet.

I remembered reading an RC review of Aruba.  Found it and stole these snippets.  Hope they help.

 

Did anyone go to West Deck for sunset dinner yesterday?

 

Where is West Deck? Is that on Aruba?

 

Yes, head east...other side of the big hotel, past the little park and over the bridge.  

we totally loved our lunch there yesterday!  Fantastic Calamari and Grouper!  😋

 

There's also a couple other bars/grills that you'll pass on the way to West Deck that are on the waterfront/ bay ("Sittin' on the dock of the bay..." good song, Otis Redding) that are also good and closer to the port. All very walkable including West Deck. We only have drinks as we usually don't eat lunch.🍺

 

Decided to walk back to check into our favorite restaurant on the point, Steak and Ribs.   This restaurant is very old, little tricky to climb the stairs at the old port, but oh so worth it.  Nice wrap around open deck right on the point with the waves crashing into the seawall just below us.  

Had seafood cocktail, and local favorites tiny hot fresh corn bread rounds with cheese and another with tuna.  A couple of beers and a couple of SBs...and we were in heaven.  Wonderful breeze, great view, and the best table mate.  Even the local Calico kitty came up to get some treats.  😉

God I could take a nap after brunch. lol

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

After brunch I got onto an elevator to go up to deck 5 so I could grab a Gatorade from Java Blue, Doors open and I round the corner and see a lady on the ground with her ankle looking very bad with a bunch of staff and a stretcher. Hopefully she is okay. 

 

Serenity is stilled blocked off due to high winds and they have closed the ropes course and the two big slides. 
 

Making my way to pasta lunch at Cuchina had a blue card stop me as I was walking up the stairs he was like you know that’s closed and I was like nope it’s open for lunch for free. Blew his mind.

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Lunch?

Great place to eat is Pincho's Grill and Bar.  You can sit on the dock...beautiful sunsets. When we go via land vacation must do's are Baby Beach, Donkey Sanctuary and Alahambra's Casino.

Steakhouse tonight but that’s not until 8pm. Probably go see 88keys at 7 and then make my way to the steakhouse. Going to try the lamb for the first time ever, This can’t possibly go poorly on me.

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Movement is straight up getting worse as the day goes on, I went and got cash out of an atm for tomorrow. And as I was making my way to my room to stick it into my safe I saw my room steward and maintenance folks going in apparently my shower that’s been flooding my bathroom for a couple of days has a clogged drain. I honestly haven’t had this many issues on a cruise ever but it doesn’t really bother me. 

 

Also watching bingo is quite hilarious. These people get stupid serious about it lol.

Okay I had to switch browsers Chrome stopped letting me respond to my own thread but I could respond to others threads for some reason.

 

Anywho here is some sunset pictures.

That looks delicious.

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Dinner in the steakhouse and it was amazing I really liked the lamb. 

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Wind is whipping tonight outside probably where most of our movement is coming from. 
 

Side note went down to my room to drop my cheesecake off and this chick passed by me and I heard a door open and she was like “Can I help you?” And a fight ensued all because this chick wanted to be bitchy.

Mega deck party was a lot of fun.

Oh what a feeling....Dancing on the ceiling....

I have no idea why things are uploading that way…….

 

 Anywho good morning from the Magic, still a few hours to go until we actually get to Aruba. They should have brunch today even though it is technically not a sea day since we don’t get into port until 1pm but i digress.
