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. 🍹

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:

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. =). 🍹

Day 8. St. Kitts 🍹

He also found us the elusive Antigua Black Pineapple. Delicious! 🥰 Not the same as what we're used to. Better if you can believe it! 🍍 Fresh cut for us. 🤩 🍹

Current view from cabin before I go to the Retreat Pool. 🍹

Another excellent day. Antigua. I booked a private driver and tour for us. Perfect. I booked it months ago. Highly recommend. Will post his contact information. A+++ 🍹 I know I owe a lot of details and catch up. 😉

I will post details about yesterday in Bardabos. Today we have a private tour/driver for Antigua. 🍹

Day 7. Antigua 🍹

Day 6. Barbados Great day. My phone needs charging and have to get ready for dinner so will post updates. 😉 🍹

We had Luigi on the Beyond last time. 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. 😆 🍹

Aww, Thank You. 🥰 🎉

Currently on the Beyond and the shows are at 7:30pm and 9:30pm. 🍹

I have evian in the cabin. I have since the cruise. Our dedicated Butler. They are back, at least for us in our cabins on the Beyond. 😉 ❤️ 🍹

Hi! We enjoyed it, Rooftop. Went twice last time on the Beyond. Going twice this cruise. I say it is worth it. If you like the menu choices, I say go! 🌽🥔🥩 Today is Day 5 and we've eaten dinner in Luminae twice. It's more because of the choices. Both times I have had the chicken from the Classic menu for my entree. 😆 Between all of us, we have had many things, classic and Luminae, during those two visits. Out of all of us, my dad is the most 'adventurous'. Some people love the choices. Me...I think it needs improvement or just more options. 🍹

See, we saw each other today. 😉 🍹

Glad he didn't get you! Who is Shouting Shana? 🤣 Cruise Director? We have Alexa. 🍹

Yay! To the Sky Suite. We like the cabin. Love the bed facing the water. Such a selling point! 😉 The whole vitamin or whatever IV therapy thing freaks me out. 😆 🍹

Show tonight. Rebel. Excellent. 🎉 Our friend saw them on the Reflection in February and said they were so good. He told us about them when we boarded when he saw they were here. Glad he did. The Phantom of the Opera song was top-notch (their background) and then the other Rock songs were very good with their own spin. They perform again on Day 8. I would have thought they were the ship's singers and likely wouldn't have gone, glad he told us about them because they weren't. 😉 🍹

Thank you for the advice. 🥰 We said yesterday, there were 3 things that happened so we were good. 🤞 Won't mention today. 🤞 I like the little green vervet monkey's 🐒 but I will take your advice and stay far away! 🤞 I need to find a red ribbon. I have pink, white and navy ribbon with me. 🎀 🍹

To add to my bee sting yesterday, it was pouring rain when we got off the ship today. On our trek to the catamaran I was putting my umbrella away and it 'shot' open right into my nose, chin, cheeks. 🫤 Seriously! I was worried my nose was broken, thankfully not but as we were on the catamaran, my chin started to bruise. 😖 🍹

So our friend got stung by a bee on the catamaran today! How can you make this up? His knuckle. 🐝 🍹

Yes! 🤣 🍹 We were like, is this worth it? Do we go back to the ship?

We had fun. The most 'uncomfortable' was on the way to the catamaran...our trek over the hills and through the woods. 🤣 🍹

Warm but cloudy and rain cooled it off. 🤣 Ugh..we said we might need to put an X (not celebrity) on the Beyond. Last time and this time = rain. 😝 Thankfully the rain stopped. Breeze helped. If not. Walking on land today I think would have been wicked. 😝 St Maarten was clouds then pouring rain so those two cooled it off. 😆 Temps like 82° - 84°. Humidity less than 80% daytime. Night higher. 🍹
