Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 6, 2022 Author #53 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Welcome to Curacao!! The Baseball wing of the ABCs! Meeting early on the pier for our far side of the island excursion 80's style tour bus with AC vents that blow HARD air straight from the arctic. Elite. And if you squint when you look at that pattern, it's like you're in space. See ya later, mama Edited May 6, 2022 by TxTeach79 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 6, 2022 Author #54 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Driving through the less touristy side of Willemstad. Big bus on tight roads. Beautiful island. Our guide seemed to know the story behind almost every building. Edited May 6, 2022 by TxTeach79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 6, 2022 Author #55 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) When in doubt, the Rong Fat Bar is where the party's at. Fair questions all. Hey buddy. First stop was on the far side of the island. Long discussion about slavery in Curacao's past and how they were allowed to freely visit this area because the water was too treacherous to try and escape. Horribly sad history, but beautiful stories and an incredible island full of incredible people. Edited May 6, 2022 by TxTeach79 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 6, 2022 Author #56 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) We had plenty of time to stroll around this gorgeous national park It's almost like you're on the pacific coast, but it feels like surface of the moon Absolutely gorgeous Then you turn around, and it's like you're on a desolate desert planet Edited May 6, 2022 by TxTeach79 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 3, 2022 Author #64 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Absolutely love the historical Carnival ship art in the Cucina spaces. What’s up, Festivale!? I got to sail on the OG Mardi Gras, Carnivale, and Tropicale in the pre-Superliner days, but never got the chance to sail on her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 3, 2022 Author #66 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Appeteasers! I love the arancini. the meatballs didn’t survive our primal urges before I remembered to take a pic burratta! It’s gf’s favorite, but she didn’t love it. It’s purty, though.

Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 3, 2022 Author #68 Share Posted June 3, 2022 My entree. I’ve having a brain fart right now, but it was delicious. this picture doesn’t NEARLY do the size of gf’s chicken parm justice. This thing was massive. MASSIVE. it’s a polenta party! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 3, 2022 Author #69 Share Posted June 3, 2022 The bar at Liquid Lounge. I know the Vista class LL’s are a hot button around here, but I like em just fine. Yeah, the comfortable seating in the normal show lounges is great, but I like having this bar here. A lot. Especially during the Platinum/Diamond party. #TemporaryRIP a little post dinner Deal or no Deal action 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa was a port of call, oddly enough. Loved that ship. A real trailblazer in the industry! I bet you have some incredible stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin from vegas Posted June 3, 2022 #72 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I loved that ship too.. she was something else. Nothing like her at that time, the beginning of the ships today, I’m really hoping they name a new ship after her! Stories??? I cannot confirm or deny!! Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
