I paused for a while to have a cigarette
And take some photos of the ship
Oh- you can buy Diamonds here too!
You will see many of these Iguanas slowly strolling around in the heat
Enjoying the cool breeze down by the water
Back then I didn't have an Ultra Wide Lens that could fit the whole ship into one shot so I had to take two photos to get her 952 feet covered. I have since bought a new lens.
Here's the part that matters most to us- the aft, which is where we live. Our cabin is the third one down (center) to the right of the red flag. As you can see we have no one living below us.
Club Fusion is on Promenade Deck just above the name of the ship. Three decks above us is the aft pool-where the flagpole begins.
Back on board it is time for a beer and for a hot lunch- there is a fast food grill and a pizzeria serving all day until 11 pm. Carol has the thin crust pizza while I have the knackwurst with sauerkraut and crispy French fries. Excellent meal !
When 4 pm rolls around it is time to bring in the mooring lines (you can see 6 of those above) and leave Crown Bay for the open sea.
Once the slow careful harbor maneuvers are completed we can pick up speed and leave St. Thomas behind
Photos taken from our balcony while enjoying Afternoon Tea
In the Caribbean in January it gets dark around 6 pm. Half the passengers are already at dinner.
Some are watching the Movie screen. Waiters bring them blankets and popcorn. We are relaxing before cocktails in Skywalkers followed by dinner around 8 pm. There is music and entertainment all over the ship-just a normal night on a cruise ship.
We dined in one of the MDRs- Michelangelo Dining Room and had our requested waitstaff of Michael and Natalia.
Veal ravioli in mushroom sauce
Beef Wellington-a favorite of mine
After a very rich meal we like to take a walk on the sparsely-populated Promenade Deck to enjoy the fresh sea air as the ship races along at over 20 mph
Here's a video clip taken as we left St Thomas....
