Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 15, 2023 Author #229 Share Posted December 15, 2023 This cruise and the last one, there has been a separate line on embarkation day just for internet hookup assistance. It's to the left of guest services, just opposite Dutch cafe. We have yet to pull away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 15, 2023 Author #230 Share Posted December 15, 2023 We are finally moving! Earlier today there were some folks going around the ship with red Visitor badges. The person we talked to said they are in the entertainment field and checking out the facilities.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 0106 Posted December 16, 2023 #232 Share Posted December 16, 2023 We will be visiting the same ports in March. Have been to all of them before. Have plans for all of them except St Thomas. Will probably just take a cab to the beach. Prefer to avoid Magens because of the crowds. Would be interested in knowing any info about cabs and independent beach excursions from anyone on the ship.

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 16, 2023 Author #234 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The croquette was tasty, the pot roast nice and tender. Jury is still out on the Brazo de Mercedes! Tasty but an odd texture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 16, 2023 Author #237 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Very rocky last night and this morning on this sea day! Went to a mostly empty ClubOrange for breakfast, had the banana bread French toast. Very tasty but filling. Our waiter Yudo said they were very busy with room service today.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichiban Nekko Posted December 16, 2023 #238 Share Posted December 16, 2023 We joined you yesterday! We had the fastest embarkation ever!! After the facial recognition with passport, we just kept walking to our cabin! Our cabin attendant visited. No assistant and he has 17 cabins to maintain. Our anniversary dinner at Rudi’s was epic. Truly, they pulled out the stops for us. Followed up on Navigator with appropriate compliments. We slept astonishingly well, despite the angry seas. It’s so good to be on a BHB. Every staff member is working so hard for every passenger to have the best experience. -Cat & Dave 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 16, 2023 Author #239 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Kind of a weird day. It has been very rocky all day, so I went to things I don't normally do! Saw the Caribbean spirit EXC talk again, the Deep Blue EXC talk, the Shore Excursions talk, the Port shopping talk, & the jewellery talks! I won absolutely nothing at the raffles, and tried on expensive jewellery just for the heck of it. 😄 The salesman was relentless but I perservered!! Got the silly free charms. Had a late afternoon sandwich and fries at Dutch Cafe so will skip dinner tonight. The show tonight was supposed to be Step One Musicology, but they switched it to Island Magic steel drums. Too rocky on board for the dancers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 16, 2023 Author #241 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Tomorrow is Grand Turk. We have an early excursion for Bajari Beach all-inclusive. We did it in Feb and really enjoyed it. Supposed to be calmer by then...Tonight is dressy night so we got a towel animal: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb-ottawa Posted December 17, 2023 #246 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We were on the Rotterdam in October and will be back in January. Have they completed the upgrade to Starlink for the internet? Also, have to disagree with your comment about the band in the Rolling Stone Rock Room. We thought they were incredibly talented and enjoyed every show in October and were thrilled to find out they would be on the ship until the end of February and look forward to seeing them in January.

Never needed the ID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 17, 2023 Author #249 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We docked on time this morning in Grand Turk. Finally some better weather! We enjoyed Bajari Beach and it wasn't crowded at all. The waves were pretty strong today and it rained a bit on and off, but still beautiful and relaxing! One of our favourite spots. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
