I would be interested in same questions as beshears. Any info appreciated regarding the difference in the buses to Valley Church Beach and Nelsons Dockyard. Will be there in April.

Really enjoyed the video Bill. Great to see as we will be on Serenade 11 night Southern in April. Looked like you guys had a great time, but then when do you not have a great time on a cruise.

Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing.

Thanks again Erik for the review and awesome pictures, as well as the compass.

Just wondering if there are any must do's or must see's on Serenade? Or any little tidbits or must know's that you can offer? This will be our first time on Serenade as well as Radiance Class.

I really appreciate your live postings on fb and all the awesome pictures.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Looking forward to our turn on her in the spring.

Thanks for the info. After reading further reviews I am finding others seem to have similar view points as you and your sister. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your info. I have a feeling I may look but will probably pass on the spices.

^ That was the review that made us do this in Grenada a few days ago! We took the water taxi ($8.00 per person return - you are given a return ticket when you pay). The water taxi dock is right at the port - you will see it. The taxis hold about 25 people and they run continually until 6 pm. We did see people being dropped off at Grand Anse beach by cab, so that is also an option, but we wanted to experience the water taxi and we got some great photos of our ship from the water.

 

Turn right off the water taxi and walk down... keep walking... the farther down the beach you go, the less expensive the chairs. Ours were $5.00 per lounger and we got them under a large tree, so we had no need to pay for an umbrella. The front row of loungers right at the water was $20.00 per chair! Also, yes, there are vendors there but they are very polite. The ladies in the spice market desperately want to make a sale, so they are somewhat aggressive as well, but after all, that is their livelihood.

 

We had a nice day at Grand Anse beach.

.

I also really appreciate this info as well as the great link listed above. If you don't mind, can I ask if you got your loungers at the same place as listed on the link above or a different vendor? If different, were there restrooms available? Also, how were the prices at the spice market there? Really appreciate any info. Looking forward to our visit in the spring.

Late to the party but all caught up now. Subscribed. Looks like a beautiful ship. Looking forward to the rest! Thanks Chris for taking us along once again.

We have our first aft booked on an 11 night Serenade. I too am hoping we enjoy as much as all the good reviews I have read.

Chris, have really enjoyed reliving the last two weeks while riding home. Thanks for that as it was hard saying goodbye to everyone last night at the farewell. Really enjoyed all your great pics. Safe travels home.

Subscribed and can't wait. See you Sunday.

I like your consistency Chris. You started our Roll Call before we were even able to book and now starting with a preview of your "Live" review before we are even on the ship. Love it. Have enjoyed all your previous "Live" reviews vicariously. So happy Will and I will be able to experience this one with you.

Looking forward to your pictures and how you like your new point and shoot.

Dinner looked delish!

An awesome review as always, Mark. And I also appreciate the time you take out of your vacation time to share your great pictures and information about the cruise.

If you have time for another question - When releasing info on Quantum, there was mention of a "Gatsby" party. I haven't seen anyone mention it who has been on board so far. Have you noticed it listed in the compass at all? Thanks.

Mark, you sure got Chris's attention with the caffeine availability. He will be set....right Chris!!!

Loving the pictures Mark! Enjoy your day.

Subscribed and ready to read along during your awesome cruise! So excited to hear all your takes on everything. I will be on with Chris and the gang in April. Excited to see all your wonderful pictures too. Off to a good start, you are doing a wonderful job.

Have a great cruise!!!!

Subscribed and following. Enjoying the great pics so far and looking forward to the next batch. Have an awesome time.

Thanks to everyone for this wonderful thread and all the great info and pics. We appreciate all your time put into this for us.

Chris, great job!!! And thanks to Anne and Bill for your contributions too. I really can't wait until our turn. So very excited. We are going to have a blast.

Subscribed! Just as excited to see and hear all about Quantum. So thankful to this group for allowing us to ride along. Have a wonderful cruise. Can't wait for my turn in the spring.

Not from a cruise but from my travels across the country for work

Twin Falls, Idaho:

Beautiful pics Chris!

And at home:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend stopped by while we were sitting outside:

 

 

 

And of course there is a birthday cake:

Hope you had a great birthday! Enjoyed the fall colors too.

There is a poster on the HAL section that has a little bug running around.

I know he gets around as several from my RCI roll calls over the last two years have copied him. A few people have said at first they actually thought it was a little bug on the screen. He has sure been a fun conversation piece.

Did you climb the lighthouse? I spent a few years in Brunswick, so I know that one.

No we didn't but enjoyed the park and village area. Really a beautiful place.

I hope someday you can get some pictures of the javelina and their babies.

The deer hit us late at night.

The deer have hit us bad this year too. They are eating everything, even my geraniums (which they never did before). They have even pulled some of them out of the ground by the roots.

The Javelina and babies would be a cute picture to see.

Your pictures are great.

I don't have a an expensive, fancy camera with tons of lens.

I see that your bug is anxious to cruise as well since he/she is running around. Cute.

Thanks. Me neither with all the tons of lens. Really do enjoy all the pictures everyone shares on here. So beautiful and creative!!

That little bug is anxiously awaiting our next cruise. He tends to get his share of attention here on the threads. I actually borrowed him from another poster a few years ago.

Karen

You have a lot of beautiful sunsets.

Thanks. I love walking during that time of the morning. So very peaceful, even when on a cruise.

Just love this thread and seeing everyone's beautiful pictures.
