My pleasure!  It is more fun to share than to hog the cruise for myself…LOL!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Now...how exactly do I find this when I get on board?  We sail next Saturday!  Is it in the menu somewhere if I click the 3 lines at the top left?  I have never, ever seen these items in the app before.

Views while Sailing Away:

 

I wish we had a longer stay in Curaçao!  Equinox had an overnight stay - would have loved that!

 

 

 

 

Until next time, Willemstad:

I will gladly put together a step by step for you 🙂  I find things by tapping on everything, except the ‘Purchase’ button.  LOL!

Dinner - Day 5 - Curaçao:

 

We ate dinner in the MDR for a change.  This menu was not accurate.  We had to order from a printed menu.  It was similar.

 

 

 

 

Fried Shrimp: (Okay - it was a little bland)

 

Seafood Newburg (Okay - not what we had expected with just a little piece of pastry):

 

Veal Schnitzel: (Okay)

 

Lamb Shank (Excellent):

 

Dutch Double Chocolate Pave (Excellent):

 

[APDMOM]

Evening Entertainment with Buck and Oz:  We love their style - it is a pity they mostly play in the brewhouse where there is an up charge for dinner.

Great review! We are a solid 18 months out from this same cruise, but this is keeping me excited! 🥰

Do you know how much it was for the "Master the Martini"?  Is this the same as the mixology class where they show you how to make drinks and then you make them?

[Hoosierpop]

Have you seen the Rockband and if so, how are they?

I don’t, but I will try to find out today.

They are good, but we were very disappointed in their Beatles tribute.  They did not sing most of the popular songs. I don’t know why they sang many unknown songs…

Agree with you on Jonathon Tempanelli, have seen his show 4 times and would line up early to see his next one

If you have requests, I have 2 more days to find information for you.  If I somehow missed a request, please repost.  I think I covered all of them to date.

Are you able to see in the app how late the bars are open?  I know the casino bar is typically the only one open past 11pm, but I know Horizon doesn't have a bar in the casino anymore.

 

Are there any free group fitness classes?  Do you have a schedule and the prices of the "for a fee" group fitness classes?  I know I can prepurchase a class pass for the duration of my cruise, but I'm looking more for "per class".

 

How much is the brewery tour at Pig & Anchor?

My View:  Day 6 - La Romana

Early Morning Views:

I love a Cove Balcony Sunrise with Coffee:

Morning Fun:

 

Since we had a later arrival in La Romana, we used the opportunity to do the ropes course.  Unfortunately, the SkyRide was closed due to rain earlier.   They will not open the SkyRide if it is wet.

 

TIP:  Make sure you wear dry clothes, longer shorts or pants, and closed-toe shoes for the ropes course and the SkyRide.  You don’t want to lose your place in line due to not meeting the requirements.

I know they sang “Yellow Submarine”, then followed by 3 songs in a row that we did not know, so we left.  They said it was “The Rooftop Concert”.  They made comments like, ‘If you didn’t know that one, you probably will not know the next 2 songs either.” So, the band admitted that they were not the most known songs.  I guess a die-hard Beatles fan will know them. 😄

La Romana:

We had planned just to walk around the port, until DH saw a train/trolley tour for $25 per person.  We decided to sign up for that at the last minute.  It was a great tour to see a little bit of the city.  The people were extremely friendly, waving at us.  We had a police escort that stopped traffic so that the train-trolley could move through safely without stopping. You can pay in port for this same tour, but in a new port we prefer a ship excursion to see if it is a viable option for a future independent tour.

 

TIP: This ship will NOT wait for you if you are late on a private tour.  It is best to do a tour through Carnival in this port.  It was reported on our trip group that some people missed the ship due to bad traffic returning to the ship.  I hope they made it back by taking a road trip to Amber Cove…
