Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted November 11, 2023 #52 Share Posted November 11, 2023 She doesn't seem to be reading our comments as there are no responses. I hope our excursion is not canceled as I have done no research on Tobago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aml3679 Posted November 13, 2023 Author #55 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I am answering the best that I can. What questions am I another answering? We did not do anything in Tobago Do not know who the maitre d is in Luminae Had a great time in St Lucia Took an open fun bus with unlimited drinks and beach - Pilgrim The water was warm and beautiful $20 for two loungers and an umbrella Bought our 10 year old granddaughter a necklace and bracelet for $20 Bring cash There were vendors selling food, drinks, jewelry, foot massages, etc. When we got back, went to the Oceanview for lunch. We went to the Sunset bar so my husband could smoke a cigar and had drinks. Took naps. Went for dinner in Luminae. I had a cold corn soup which had shrimp and an avocado ring, delicious. For my entree, had prosciutto wrapped chicken breast. My husband had the short ribs which were fork tender. Our friend had tuna which was delicious. All four of us had crème brûlée for dessert. After dinner we did a little window shopping and played slots. The show was a comedian who was very funny. After that, we called it a night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoe38 Posted November 13, 2023 #56 Share Posted November 13, 2023 If you get a chance, when you are in Luminae, could you see if the maitre d’ greeting you at the entrance is Laurence? She was on Silhouette in March of 2022 and we had heard rumours that she was currently on board. Thanks so much. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltnccruisers Posted November 13, 2023 #57 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Thanks for doing this. We'll be back on Silhouette in April, 2024, visiting a few favorite ports and a few new that you have hit. Tobago, St Lucia, Grenada will be new to us. Great pics, especially the food. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare greygypsy Posted November 13, 2023 #59 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Thanks for posting. We will be on the Silhouette holiday cruise next month. If you could take some pics of some of the public areas that would be appreciated. Earlier you mentioned that the water in the pool was cool - has it warmed up since you left or is it still too cool for you? Did your husband bring cigars with him or did he get some on the cruise? From some of your pics it looks like the cruise is not too crowded - is that the case? Figure our holiday cruise will be busier. Anyway, thanks for posting and keep on enjoying!

Taste of Local Rum You travel in an air conditioned taxi to the proprietor They discuss the history and culture You get to taste rum punch, pumpkin juice with rum, and a few more rums The food varies but we had conch fritters, chicken fingers, jerk chicken, and banana pudding soaked in rum They sell rum and T-shirts. We bought 2 bottles and a T-shirt. One bottle is for my brother in law who is keeping an eye on our cats. Today was an at sea day. We ate in LaPetite Chef. We had a burrata salad, seafood boulibase, filet, lobster, and either rice pudding or ice cream sundaes. Unfortunately, there was a medical emergency and the theatre was closed. Prayers. Tomorrow, is our last sea day. Mostly packed. Eating in Murano tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabaster Cruiser Posted November 15, 2023 #72 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Does anyone know about the medical event in the theater? I know one of the shows was canceled. We did a beach excursion in Tabago. It basically was transportation only to Pigeon resort(?). Talked with others who went by cab and they had payed $50 to and from. It was a fun beach. We ordered a $15 fish and chips. My DH and I thought we would be splitting a fish sandwich and fries. He came back with a out 3 lbs of freshly grilled King Mackerel , fries and a salad! One of the better meals of our cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. We haved booked this excursion for out Nov 23rd. We haven't done a fun bus in many years, so we're just looking to let our hair down (and we did the Piton's last November). 25 minutes ago, Alabaster Cruiser said: Does anyone know about the medical event in the theater?
