Rare h20skibum Posted May 20, 2022 #251 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Busy day for us in Curaçao. Entertainment on the pier Our excursion was snorkeling with the turtles, then a beach break. This is the same excursion we did in October, and loved it. Shot a lot of video, but these are just a couple frame extracts Two for the price of one we snorkeled at the beach break and I have a lot of video I haven’t pulled frames from yet, but lots of colorful fish. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 20, 2022 #252 Share Posted May 20, 2022 After we got back to the ship, we ate, cleaned up, and walked to town. Across the floating bridge Had to get photos of the colorful buildings We found a heart sculpture with the locks of love on them Birds Since we walked over later in the day, not many on the street We have been working hard on this cruise so we won’t be kidnap targets Made it back without being pier runners 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 20, 2022 #253 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Jeff Tracta was the Headliner show tonight. What an amazing, wide range of voices. One of the best headliners we have seen on Royal. This is a “Do not miss” show. 70’s night in the RP tonight. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 20, 2022 #254 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Good morning. Looks like a nice sea day. Cloudy on the horizon, so this was sunrise. Our current location looks like we are racing Explorer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted May 20, 2022 Author #255 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Some random thoughts. very few children/kids/pre adults on this sailing food has been good MDR:IZUMI/CK drinks seem to have adequate measured or free pour in some bars. Amber theatre shows EXCELLENT air conditioner in CLS keeping us comfy cabin attendant doing great job towel animals every day again the WIFI BAD. getting smoked out in casino. BAD. Even though smoking permitted on one side it Carrie’s over. waiters doing excellent job getting drinks. Only one day poolside was spotty before noon. Now I have not lived at pool but some towels seem to have permanent residency on loungers and nothing being done. once again not a great presence of security. Unless there in plain clothes. I cannot believe how clean the ship is. And on going wiping down of everything and every where. the elevators have been painful. Cannot understand why it takes forever to have one come to the 16 th of 17 th level. and when they do. There empty. ok layer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 20, 2022 #256 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I think you are spot on with all those comments @Lionesss Sue. The only thing I don’t know about is the elevators, because we haven’t been in one. That will change Sunday when we walk off. Loungers are hard to come by at 10 am. I have managed to find some, but have had to carry them from one end of the ship to where I want them. Relaxing by the Solarium bar this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot understand why it takes forever to have one come to the 16 th of 17 th level. and when they do. There empty. That's one of the few drawbacks to staying on deck 17. With the WJ right below on 16, the elevators get a lot of WJ traffic going up and down. It can take a while for one to come all the way up to 17. With so few people on 17, the elevators are usually empty by the time they get there. If you have a genie, they can do their magic thing with the elevators so you don't wait, or at least so I've been told. Haven't had that experience yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go Mark and Susan When we were there at the end of March we came across some on our tour to the lighthouse. More roundabouts but a couple of lights. 2 hours ago, h20skibum said: Your favorite bartender was working there today. That’s the first I have seen her this cruise.

We have been back to Curaçao 3 times since October but the only tour we did was caves, history tour. We will be back in September and the turtles would be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two cruises are the only ones that I can remember names of bartenders from. Either they were very good or I am just drinking way too much these days.😵😀 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted May 21, 2022 #272 Share Posted May 21, 2022 You know the cruise is coming to an end, when you already check in for tomorrow’s flight home. Sitting at the pub with the first drink of the day. RP is very crowded with their 2 for $25 T-shirt sale going on. It wasn’t that long ago it was 2 for $20. Inflation is everywhere! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted May 21, 2022 Author #273 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Good morning. Yup. Just arose from slumber land. Why? Well it was the DH turn to be lucky. Well he is always lucky we’re a team. But how many people do you know win the side bets when playing black Jack ???? He was on a roll and his table let’s just say bonded till after 3am. Me on the other hand just kept playing on the slots. No major wins. Had to feed the machine a few times. But not too painful. Although I have not witnessed it myself I have heard there was a major issue in the casino last night during some type of contest. And it does sound like the cruiser could be in the right. Hearing they filed an official complaint. Also. Last hot and sunny. Pools packed. Ty DH bringing my coffee back to cabin so I can get jump started. Today going with the flow. Nothing planned but packing. Chillin and getting sad because we have to leave. OK. My miracle potion is here. Time to enjoy later 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 21, 2022 #274 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The pool sounds like a good idea. We are headed there soon, then Mama Mia this afternoon. It must have been cold enough in our cabin this morning that baby penguins started to gather. I can’t say enough about our cabin attendant. She has been fantastic. As has our wait staff. Picked up some extra envelopes to give all of them something extra for their great service. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted May 21, 2022 Author #275 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I agree. Service has been top shelf. We love this ship and even though it is a completely new crew from previous pre COVID-19 sailings. They are the best !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
