Mike & Tracy’s continuing adventures: B2B on Carnival Liberty & Carnival Breeze

[Don1966]

Will be doing the power snorkel one week from tomorrow! Can't wait! Are there lockers to stow your stuff in?

I have never before seen a cruise ship zamboni!

OMG, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that picture!

[MikeyA53]

Both Tracy and Arielle look fabulous in their dresses! Where did Tracy get her dress, I want one like it! Thanks!

 

 

She got it at 'Le Chateau'. It's a Canadian chain of women's apparel. Maybe you can check on line.

Is Grand Turk a teenie island? This part of the trip is getting even more interesting since this is our itinerary on our next trip.

 

 

Yes, it's small.

[MikeyA53]

Love your reviews. I think it was your big B2B2B2B review that got me to pull the trigger and go on my first cruise. Thank you for taking the time to do these.

No lockers, everyone put their stuff in a shed and they locked it up.

I wanna go back to Grand Turk! Thanks for the pictures.

How many other ships were in Grand Turk with you?

It was a short boat ride to the edge of the big drop. It goes from a depth of about 45 feet to 7000 feet. If you drop anything there it’s gone for good. I had a flotation device (strap) for my camera.

 

 

At 45 feet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the 7000 feet drop all you see is light rays and an accompanying eerie feeling.

That looks positively scary ! I don't think that I would like to do that. I always want to be able to see the bottom! I guess I am just a sissy......

We did this with Pap J tours on the Freedom in August. Such a cool site. Loved the drop off~ Great pics!:D

I did a 360 degree turn video of the drop

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you are dropped off at the edge you do not get back in the boat. A couple of guides lead us slowly back towards shore, stopping along the way to check out interesting marine life. The boat was with us at all times in case someone needed something. The guides were very helpful, one of them took my camera a couple of time and dove down to take photos of marine life.

Now do the tourists dive into the deep deep area or just close? Also how do you steer those gizmos?

This was a fun excursion; the girls really liked the three speeds power snorkel scooters that allowed them to so dive deep without much effort. I’m not much of a diver; I tried a couple of times without success. I found out afterwards that I was trying to do it at the lower speed and I should have had it at top speed. I mostly sat on mine and took photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is an embarrassing video of me trying to dive like the girls.

Brave admission Mike. We would of never known your intentions. I hope I can get the hang of it with my action cam next week without dropping it into the abyss. Thanks again for getting me even more psyched! Just over 4 days to go! Yee haa!

We called a drop like that in Roatan our "Nemo Moment".

Mike you are more buoyant,because of your muscular stature.......:D ;)

When Tracy got up we went to the gym for a workout followed by going to the Sky Course but unfortunately it was closed.

I like the "Deck Zamboni" in the last picture!!! :D

It's up to you if you want to dive in the abyss. You steer by simply turning the machine from side to side or up and down. Mike
