We have Alexa. 🍹 She was the Cruise Director, better suited for a Disney cruise. We had Luigi on Ascent just prior to boarding Beyond, I think we were spoiled. 😀 Cheers!

I don't really pay attention to who the Cruise Director is but Luigi seemed out and about more. Last night Alexa talked before the show and I think she thinks she is a comedian...it was like, OK, stop talking and let the act start. 😆 🍹 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PinkSandGirl Posted April 19 Author #311 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Day 8. St. Kitts 🍹 Edited April 19 by PinkSandGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PinkSandGirl Posted April 19 Author #312 Share Posted April 19 I usually don't eat breakfast because it makes me hungrier even sooner for lunch. I know, odd, but true. However with the heat and not knowing exactly when we'll eat lunch I do have something in the morning. I've had different things but here are poached eggs and a bagel. I also make iced tea. I ask for two glasses of ice. 😉 Steep then pour. As the day goes on, then Cafe Bacio for my iced tea. =). 🍹 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PinkSandGirl Posted April 19 Author #313 Share Posted April 19 (edited) We did eat in Luminae last night and it was good. It was only our 3rd time there for dinner. Service is very good. Why so few times so far? Between the menu and specialty dining and other plans, it's just worked out that way. We will go back again. We do like having the same waiter/waitstaff so not eating there every night, we miss them. 🍹 So far for dinner: Day 1: Luminae Day 2: Eden Day 3: Rooftop Garden Grill Day 4: Luminae Day 5: Main Dining Room - Normandie Day 6: Raw on 5 then Oceanview Cafe Day 7: Luminae Day 8: Rooftop Garden Grill Day 9: Day 10: Edited April 19 by PinkSandGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most 'uncomfortable' was on the way to the catamaran...our trek over the hills and through the woods. 🤣 🍹 Did I miss the story on this? Was surprised to hear you had a “trek” to the catamaran. We had booked a private catamaran last month and it picked us up right outside the ship. It looked like the cruise sponsored catamaran excursions were just outside the ship also. 🤔 Cheers!

I haven't updated that yet. The group was very large so they split us up. First catamaran filled and was right at the ship. There was a waiver to sign that they weren't telling people so that was the first group. Very disorganized. We were the 2nd larger catamaran and had to make a trek over through the shops and then further to a back dock where a ferry comes. After waiting in the rain and then hot sun, it just wasn't expected. They dropped us off in the same spot. 🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellyd22 Posted April 19 #316 Share Posted April 19 What’s been your favorite restaurant so far? I have a couple specialty restaurants booked for my 4/22 sailing. I like variety and didn’t want to eat in Luminae every night so hope it’s worth the extra cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped off at same inconvenient spit...had to take a ling trek thru shops. Our ferry ride and tour on Nevis were great, but X excursion Dept was useless!

I became a lobster today 🦞. 😬🤦♀️ Didn't put sunscreen on in the cabin. I know. Had it with me but we got to the beach and the sand was Fire Sand that we needed to get in the water. The water was so refreshing that you don't feel the burn. Well... I am red. I had 2nd degree sunburn in Maui almost 24 years ago so I am careful. Well, today... Aloe is calling me. I don't think I am in need of medical care and burn creams like what I needed in Maui. You could however probably fry an egg on me. 🍳 🍹 Edited April 20 by PinkSandGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on my list for tomorrow. Not for compensation but they need to know. Ugh...your St. Kitts start doesn't sound fun. Water and shade are two very important things in the heat, especially when you aren't expecting it. 🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PinkSandGirl Posted April 20 Author #325 Share Posted April 20 Ok...so to add to the funny stories of things we've had. We have had some hysterical water moments. But... Today our friend, who's birthday it is, was sitting on a beach chair with his feet in the sand talking to my boyfriend. Birthday boy is about to come in the water after sitting for like an hour with his feet on what we now call Fire Sand. He looks down after moving his feet. Both of his soles on his sneakers came off because of the heat!🔥 Seriously! They aren't old and they are New Balance. It was and still is hysterical. 🤣 🍹 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
