These are three I’m hiding today that I brought on board. I’ve managed to find four others while hiding my ducks this cruise.

Just a FYI - reservations are needed for shows, even if you have a suite, regardless of what the suite info sheet says. The staff were very accommodating in getting me into Oceanaria however since I was going solo. I then booked the rest of my entertainment. It was easy to book through the app with multiple times to choose from for all shows. 

As a matter of perspective, went to the show last night as a suite guest without reservations and were let right in.  At 25 minutes before the show we got almost the last seats in the reserved section.

Interesting! I got there about the same time and I think I got the last seat in the reserved section. Maybe it’s all a matter of who scans your card and how familiar they are with the protocols.

Info on the pub entertainer.

So nice to see the parades are back.

It has been a while since we've seen this happening.

They are the cups you get with the beverage packages. I don’t think they are meant for hot drinks.

Dinner menus for the main dining room and Coastal Kitchen and the Windjammer theme for this evening.

Info sheet for B2B cruisers. No mention of needing to do another covid test for the second leg. Fingers crossed we won’t have to do one.

It  does mention waiting for your wellness screening results.  I wonder if that is a temperature check? I  was also under the impression that they no longer were doing Covid testing between cruises. I will be eager to see what happens. It would seem odd in lei of todays announcement of discontinuing Covid test for 9 and less night cruises.

I’m hoping it is just a temp check. I’ll be sure to post the process as I go through it.

Late night comedy anyone?

Day 4 - Good morning from Aruba!

[Cayman Turtle]

Lucky for us the starboard side of the ship is facing the port so I could grab a few shots. Docked by 8 am. Captain says we should be able to get off the ship by 8:30. Taxis and tour buses are right next to the gangway waiting for passengers to disembark. Looks like it’s not to far of a walk to the port exit for those not on a tour.

GOOD LORD!! With space being at such a premium on a cruise ship, where on earth do they store these things???

[LATTELOVE]

 

Enjoy your day in beautiful Aruba!

I love that Island.

[Cayman Turtle]

Today’s Compass, ship info and door sign.

I forgot to post our towels animals from the last two nights.

Walked to the port entrance with one of the kids who wanted some new shirts. Took about 5 minutes to get there and there are lots of shops right there on the pier. Also lots of locals offering tours right at the gate. Only needed Seapass to get on and off. Didn’t need to show ID or wear masks.

Today Duck Norris and Firequacker will be delivered to their hiding places.
