Lastdance Posted April 30, 2023 Author #51 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) We just heard another announcement from our Captain that the port will be closed "all day." Explorer of the Seas was to dock two hours later than us, but of course the weather isn’t allowing this at all. Below, I will post a few photos from a previous trip to Azores...it is a beautiful group of islands, but gets quite a lot of rain, enhancing its beauty!

Lastdance Posted April 30, 2023 Author #52 Share Posted April 30, 2023 So, decided to go to the gym, even though today was a day off and port day. Just a couple of pics… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted April 30, 2023 #53 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Sorry you missed the Azores. When we stopped there we thought is was one of the most beautiful places we have been. mac_tlc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a shame that you weren’t able to port, especially after 6 sea days. I’m sure it that it would have been nice just to get off the ship. We’re on this same itinerary in 2024. Just wondering if they mentioned any additional time in Cartagena? Thanks so much for the updates as you go alone! Hugely helpful for me and my SO, who is already seasick although she hasn’t boarded a ship! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastdance Posted May 1, 2023 Author #63 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) We really enjoyed being outside on deck 17 for lunch and some sun…my Caesar Salad was petite and perfect; Gary’s grilled chicken, on a croissant, with fries, was excellent too! Fruit kabobs were served late morning and chocolate back in our room😎 There were plenty of loungers… no hogs❣️ Edited May 1, 2023 by Lastdance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted May 1, 2023 Author #64 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Although the water in the pool was just a little cool, it was great walking around the perimeter. I chose not to swing on the chairs, but maybe tomorrow…it was just so peaceful. You rarely wait for a drink, as someone is always there…we even said “hi” to Captain D, as he was out and about! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted May 1, 2023 Author #65 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Dinner tonight, Chic Nite, was excellent. We both had the filet; it was so tender and juicy too! Just very yummy with every bite. Our friends sat with us, so dinner was even nicer. They are from El Paso and we lived in Texas for many years! Presently, we are enjoying the show… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastdance Posted May 2, 2023 Author #69 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately, it was so windy that we could not enjoy lunch on deck 17; I am talking lots of knots going on there with white caps; however, OVC was promoting all the chefs and assistants, not to mention anyone else who chose to make the rounds...the theme was Farewell, but we do not get to Civi until Sunday! Many were asking why so many cruises were jumping ship..first photo in Retreat and second in OVC. Let them eat cake!

Lastdance Posted May 2, 2023 Author #75 Share Posted May 2, 2023 We just passed the Rock, but unfortunately, had to turn back and allow a passenger with a heart attack to get medical assistance. We all hope and pray for the best outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
