DW has not returned from the barbie movie so far.  My take is either football is that bad or Barbie is that awesome🤣

Fantastic!  Hope you have great time & maybe my next experience can help just a bit.  cheers friend 🍻

Love Tito’s White Russians.  Vouchers are exhausted.  Football is getting exciting!!

 

Anyone who had ever followed any of my threads will know I’m a Big Lebowski fanatic.  Obligatory GIF of the Dude coming in hot…….

Actual text from DW … can’t take anymore Barbie are you still watching football?

 

 

Me;  Yup, still here.  😆

@goldfish65  i think this is what your looking for 

 

 

Again, thank you. Royal commissioned these paintings. You can't get prints of them. The artist has work in the Smithsonian. He does a lot of book-covers, and science-fiction themed art. Prices aren't bad. 

 

Good to see you're already having a blast!

Pre Planned excursions are a private tour with Elegance Catamarans in Barbados.

 

Another catamaran tour in St.Lucia - Western Coast Catamaran Cruise through Royal.  This is a catamaran cruise with a beach stop and cruise to the Pitons.  I wanted to see the Pitons and a catamaran sounded waaaaayyyy better than a bus to me.  Throw in a beach too -sold.

 

For St.Maarten we haven’t booked an excursion but plan to do a bit of exploring and shopping and take the water taxi over to the beach & do whatever floats our boat.

Speaking of local beers, I always like trying the beer of the local culture. 

 

 

Here’s my Piton shot from last winter! 😂

 

 

Cheers!

Good morning 

It’s a beautiful day for a sea day!

 

We were up late and slept in but hey that’s what sea days are for right?

 

[SteelCityCruiser10]

Hitting up WJ for a quick lunch.  

Plan is to hang out on our balcony most of the afternoon.

 

Then Top Tier is at 5 today.  We’ll venture out for that.

 

 Dinner is Chops.  Thinking of asking Edna if we can have Chops in room.  

 

We want to have a calm/relaxing day.  No late night tonight since we have an early excursion with Elegance Catamaran.  8:30am meet time.

It’s a cute little theater. We saw The Fabelmans in there.

Hey SteelCity. Hope you're enjoying your time aboard. Thought maybe it be helpful if you mention more of the Pitt Stop (a couple of more photos?) as I'm only assuming that many reading this review may not realize that this is a one-of-a-kind venue found only on Jewel. (ie. where it's located, amenities, food, tv's? etc) It's kinda like the original long-lost Playmakers in a way I guess. It's great you're enjoying this area with all the games that are on

A big down side (at least it used to be) is the smell of smoke coming from the casino.

Samuel is taking great care of me in the CL

He’s from Trinidad so I’m working on insider  suggestions.

Hi SteelCity, great info and we are enjoying following your adventures. Is this the Crown Lounge (formerly the Diamond Lounge) or the Suite Lounge? We will be boarding on Saturday 1/27 and are staying in a GS. Can you show pics of the suite lounge? I'm guessing it is the same as the Serenade and has its own bar. 

Also, what cabin are you in?

Thanks!
