Rare Ken the cruiser Posted Thursday at 06:35 PM Author #126 Share Posted Thursday at 06:35 PM (edited) We had a fun time on our 4-hour Explorer Cruise and Island Tour excursion today! Here are some pictures, to include a map of St Maarten. We started in Philipsburg and took Hwy 7 around the island. Saw some cows near Grand Chase as well as a couple of Iguanas hanging out in the trees. Our first stop was for 45 minutes in Marigot where folks had free time to do a little shopping and sightseeing. Of course, we had to go on the hunt for the elusive St Maarten pigeons and luckily we found a few that wanted to show off their colorful wings! 😂 Then it was time to board the double-decker boat which we partied around the Lagoon in for about an hour! 😁 Then it was time to head back to Philipsburg by way of a different route.

I don’t know what it is about taking photos of pigeons at some of the various places we travel to, but I sure get a lot of joy out of taking them while we’re on a cruise! 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Author #131 Share Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Day 6 - Sep 27 - Sea Day Then I got curious this morning as to what was included in the Compass’ 24-page pdf I pull this stuff from every morning, and found this two very informative “all cruise” summary pages that highlight the main shows on each day. I know. Who knew! Probably everybody! 😂 Fortunately, we have seen or have reservations to see all of the listed shows we wanted to see. But it’s definitely something to remember to review on our next RC cruise. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted yesterday at 02:25 PM Author #132 Share Posted yesterday at 02:25 PM (edited) I have to say our particular 7-day cruise, weather wise, has definitely turned out on the positive side as compared to what it could have been if the Captain stuck to the original itinerary. Here’s where we are currently at on Friday at 10 am along with a Windy snap shot of the calm winds we are cruising through and have been for most of this entire cruise. OTOH some of the other ships mentioned in the below thread that were cruising around in the Caribbean around the same time as us definitely had some different experiences, depending on their debarkation port and associated time. In some cases they had to stay out at sea for a few extra days until the storm passed. However, in the case of ships disembarking at Port Canaveral today, it looks like it’s going to be quite busy there! https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3029106-hurricane-in-the-gulf-of-mexico/page/5/ Edited yesterday at 02:41 PM by Ken the cruiser 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted 22 hours ago Author #133 Share Posted 22 hours ago Today was a very relaxing day, as we just ate, went for a walk on the jogging track on deck 5 to burn off some calories, and sat on the balcony enjoying life passing us by. 😁 Our steward also made us another cute little towel animal! This evening we’re going to go see 365 Seasons on Ice, which is one of their production shows. As some of you know, I usually don’t post photos of food or drinks on my threads. But tonight I couldn’t resist as I tried a dessert we have never even heard of before. Any ideas what it might be? 😂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted 22 hours ago #134 Share Posted 22 hours ago It almost looks like cream puffs, but with the cream on the outside? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try, but nope. It’s Fried Cheesecake and one of the desserts offered in the 150 Central Park specialty restaurant. 😁 Edited 22 hours ago by Ken the cruiser 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Homer. He joined us on Odyssey! I’m sorry, I can’t help myself on this one. 😂 Homer was rescuer from our balcony and released in Grand Cayman. He flew in on his own but was unable to fly out unassisted. Edited 17 hours ago by perfect match 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a perfect day to me! Great pics of the ice skating show, Seasons 365. I think it’s my new favorite of all the ones we have seen so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted 6 hours ago Author #140 Share Posted 6 hours ago This morning after another tasty breakfast in the MDR, I hung out on the balcony hoping to see some wildlife. Luckily, there was a bunch of little flying fish swimming around that the nearby Pelagic seabirds were feasting on for quite some time! I know, I’m easily entertained! 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
