“Live From” the Grandeur or Z and TB Live the High Life in the Caribbean!

[Zqueeze1]

We went to the pool bar to say our goodbyes

 

and to the Meridian lounge where Paul made me one last mysterious concoction

 

Dinner last night was superb.  We decided to go with Terri and Ray to Sette Mari where we ate very well we had:  

Peppers and cheese

 

Meatball app

 

Spaghetti ala Puttanesca 

 

Gnocchi

 

And the gigantore veal cutlet. 

 

so long New York

Oh my....I'm going into a food coma just looking at this pic. 

 

Thanks for all the great posts.  I've been following along intently (and not just because I was born on the island you lived on).

Thank you so much for all your time and work to take us along on your trip. Great pictures and commentary.

Sorry you won't be joining us on Grandeur for the transatlantic in August. Save travels home.

Thanks for taking us along. Comedy should be your side hustle, if it isn’t already.

Thank you so much for the live! It’s been so so enjoyable to read over these past few weeks 🙂 

 

I’ll definitely be following along in the future! Any upcoming plans?

Sad that this saga (trip) is over.  So enjoyed your trip report!   BTW, on Carib cruise on Grandeur in March we stopped at St. Barth!

On the Feb Grandeur Caribbean run,

we stopped in St.Barts as well.

Didn’t know this had been an issue…

November Mariner also stopped there. I really don’t see the big deal anyway.

Just got home after 11.5 hours from ship to front door to see this waiting for us. 

It’s great to be back home.

What a great picture - glad you got home safely!

Always enjoy your reports and pics of TB!   This Jersey girl got engaged on a Central Park carriage ride and 40 years later we still take one once in awhile, so not just a tourist thing!

This has absolutely nothing to do with your cruise (which I thoroughly reading about), but my youngest gradddaughter is in her fourth year at Savannah School of Art and Design; she would have graduated this year but asked and received permission to pick up a minor in Doll Design.  My theory is if they want to learn, go for it.  She loves it there.

Z-

It was great meeting you and Pam at the Pool Bar! I always enjoy your reports. Safe travels!

At our tenth anniversary we took a carriage ride in Charleston and replaced the teensy engagement ring with a real one at the same spot where I got engaged with my Jersey girl.

Thank you for entertaining us again - your humorous reports are always a great start to the day.

[Gray Lady]

Thank you so much for your beautiful pictures, wonderful insights, and witty commentary. It allowed me to “get away” with you and leave my “reality” for a bit. Always enjoy reading about your travels. Would love to meet you sometime. Best wishes!

See you on Splendor in January 🛳🛳🛳🛳😂

[Gcto]

Back home now too.... caught up on the "blog" to see what I was missing. Enjoyed the trip and it was great getting to know you. Hope to see you again.

Welcome home Z and TB!  I'll be in food porn withdrawal until be board Grandeur April 23. Speaking of food porn, your Katz's Deli photo almost did me in! And even though you won't be on board with us, I know your energy and humor will be!!  xoxo Bonnie and Karl

Folks:  sorry I did not do a wrap up, but I caught some sort of stomach illness that knocked me down.  I ended up in the emergency room with several ruptured ulcers that required eight pints of blood. The doctor even told my wife to consider calling a priest.  Five days later, I dodged another bullet, but spent up one of my lives. The downside is no more alcohol. So, if you have stocks in Don Q rum sell ASAP.  Now I hope to go home today.

 

Thanks for all the prayers from friends and family.  BTW, my college classmates ran a pool to guess the hour and day I would croak.  I won the pot.
