I'm back

[superstein61]

Yep - just returned from the Zuiderdam today. Overall we had a great time. When I have some time, I will post a detailed review - which for those who know my style - will cover the spectrum of good and bad (yes - there were both - do you expect anything different from me :) )

[MandyGirl]

Welcome back! Lots of us will be looking forward to what you have to share! :)

Welcome Back!!

OK.. what did you wear and what did you drink? LOL!!:D :D :p

[RevNeal]

OK.. what did you wear and what did you drink?

And, most importantly, did he take and use the blender?????? :D ;)

[RevNeal]

Welcome back superstein61! I'm glad that you had a great time! I'm looking forward to reading your review and hoping to see the good as well as the bad. :)

I'm actually taking bets as to the balance of the good and bad ... right now Vegas has the odds at 3 "bads" for every "good," so you can skew the results if you want and can clean up by surprising those who are pessimists!!! ;)

Welcome back Superstein. Glad you had a great time. I would like to add to the list of questions.

I see you wore a Cuban Shirt on a formal night. Was it a plain one or a fancy one with embroidery?

Did you smuggle booze on board to use with the blender?

Did you order a cake to celebrate?

:D :D
I look forward to your review.

[stillfrantic]

Hope you had an overall great time, and that no one messed with your half price drink stand on deck. Will look forward to reading more.:)

[etrainer1]

[RevNeal]

you didn't have to beat any dead horses!

No ... just dead horseback riding!!! :D
Oh ... his was an Eastern Caribbean itinerary.

Make that dead seahorse riding. :D ;)

Welcome Back!!

OK.. what did you wear and what did you drink? LOL!!:D :D :pOK - i will answer a few quick questions here and then post the review in sections on a new thread as I have time:

As far as what did I wear - of course I wore my nice Cuban and Mexican shirts on formal night with no problems. Actually had several compliments. Other days, just nice khaki's and a nice polo shirt or tropical design short sleeve button down shirt.

As to what I drank - my rum of course :D Plus my diet Mountain Dew when I wasn't in the mood for an alcoholic drink. But suprisingly I also bought some drinks on board. the sailaway Mojito's were quite good - and the drink of the day $3.75 price was within reason.

I also took part of the beverage package on Half Moon Cay and had many rum punches - (and a few diet cokes which I gave to my daughter - yea, yea, I know - you aren't supposed to share - but at $19.95 plus 15% unless you do , you don't come close to getting your money;s worth)

Also had unlimited Pina Colada's on Barbaecue night - not a bad deal at $11.95 if you are thirsty

[superstein61]

And, most importantly, did he take and use the blender?????? :D ;)Of course :D

Thanks !!!

Yes, the cuban shirt was a fancy one with embroidery. Actually saw similiar ones selling in shops on St Thomas for $50 (marked down from $80).

yes - I brought my trusty rum along - but as noted above, still bought some other drinks on board

Uh - no cake for me. ;)

Superstein, Welcome back.

The suspense is killing me. I can't wait to hear the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[lcruiser]

Superstein61, are you talking about guayaveras. I have several and love them. Unfortunately the cleaners have a hard time with them, they tend to pull the treads.......

[Lois R]

Glad your Cuban shirt was such a hit :)

[elmorejj]

I am also waiting to read your review, and I want the real nitty gritty!! We spent New Years Eve in San Juan once, and all the men had on Guayaberas as formal wear.......jean :o :o

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wonder what the airlines thought of the blender?

:D

[RevNeal]

Wonder what the airlines thought of the blender?

They thought an old microphone was a bomb ... what would a blender look like?????

Probably ... a blender. :)

[sail7seas]

Yes - thats the name (or something very similiar). Thanks for the tip about the cleaners - the shirt is new so I will have to watch out
