She was funny, knowledgable, talkative and constantly checked that the 4of us were happy with the AC. Next time in Dominica I would book this company without even checking competition.

Unfortunately a tree fell on it and squashed it. Actually saw this years ago on a relocation cruise on the Splendor, brought back great memories!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JGmf Posted February 17 #208 Share Posted February 17 I'm assuming there's only one and it's difficult to get a spot on the WPT Texas Hold 'Em table. Am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct? There are 3 Hold'em tables and you are correct, each table has a waiting list one to three deep at any given time between 7pm and 10pm.

Yeah, I hate that. I know, what are you going to do? I assume, like you, I like to park myself there and play through the night. Hate it when you have people breathing down your back like that...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #214 Share Posted February 17 Grenada sun is different than Antiga, etc. sun. Pretty close to torture. Speaking of which, I caught the locals 3-wheels-and-a-spare packed minivan to Grande Anse Beach. Better than any six flags ride and only $1, instead of $5 for a taxi.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #216 Share Posted February 17 (edited) We docked at St. George's. I had a blt with extra bacon, crispy, from the deli and it was great. I took some pics of St. George's and Grand Anse beach from Deck 15 before heading out to explore St. George's by foot, then take the $5 taxi to Grand Anse Beach. My plan was to get in the water a while then find a bar with a great view. I knew my chances of finding a view that equaled Magens Bay Beach in St. Thomas were slim, but I was hopeful.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #220 Share Posted February 17 I stumbled upon a stand with older model minivans for local transportation, kind of a bus terminal. I found a sign for Grand Anse and asked the driver how much. He said $1 and shoved me in the van which had locals sitting on laps and reggae blasting. No AC and it got pretty ripe quickly, probably most of the aroma from my seatmate. 20240217_124420.mp4 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #221 Share Posted February 17 Prince Charming wanted to show me the way to the beach but I already knew it. Getting away from him was a challenge, but I prevailed. I later learned these white minivans ARE the local bus system but no regulations or oversight. A lot of Carnival cruisers prefer the "safety" of Carnival excursions, etc. but this experience was immersive and I would definitely do it again. 20240217_124139.mp4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #223 Share Posted February 17 (edited) 20240107_084524.mp4 I just realized I'm at the halfway point of this 12-day cruise. I offer halftime entertainment, 5 of Faith's 11 ferrets devouring Dietz and Watson ham in organic low-sodium chicken broth. Turn up volume to hear their "pleasure squeaks".

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #224 Share Posted February 17 I arrived alive at Grand Anse Beach which was very nice. I spoke to 8 Americans and a Canadian and none were from the cruise ships, all were staying in Grenada for 1 to 3 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 17 Author #225 Share Posted February 17 Grand Anse Beach reminds me of Grand Turk because of lots of friendly dogs, but it is not crescent shaped. There is a dropoff but nothing sharp underfoot and the water is beautiful. Also, at least 7 beachfront bars. It's a long beach. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
