[TOMMYCRUISER]

Good morning Gambee

 

Your right it is a great group I met Ty on the Freedom along with some other folks lets just say by day 4 the ship was out of Cabo Wabo:D:o:o and that's when I found out about Ty's love for Long Islands:):)

[gambee]

Gamble, what time did you get off the ship and get back on?

 

I think around 8:30 and Noon.

[gambee]

 

Hello everyone and thank you for all the messages. Unfortunately, I won't be able to address all of the from now on. Just started Grad school and time of the essence. However, I will continue to answer questions.

 

I guess that poster who got irritated with me for answering all the posts got his/her way :D

 

Muahahahaha

 

[gambee]

 

Now here is where it actually got a little scary. See that yellow sailboat, he got awfully close to us. It got so close that our captain kept blowing the horn none stop, at one point I thought we were going to run them over. No kidding!

 

 

 

It was a really close call. We would have destroyed that vessel.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

Then the ship does a 180.

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

It is quite an abrupt turn.

 

 

 

 

I noticed that we still had some time to go before exiting the cluster of islands, so I made a dash to meet up with mom on Vibe.

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

Back in Vibe.

 

 

 

They had the third floor of the rope course open. It was a miracle!

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

Ro spoiling mom.

 

 

This is a really cool sail away. It is a no miss experience!

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

How cool is that? This huge ship just navigating in-between all those islands!

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

Some officers stopped by. They were drinking sparkling water, mom thought it was beer. Although, I was told that they are allowed to have a small amount of liquor.

 

 

How cool would it be to live there, for some reason it reminds me of our summer house in Colombia.

 

 

More sailboats.

 

 

 

And out into the Atlantic we go!

 

 

[gambee]

 

That area must be great for snorkeling

 

 

There was a little shack in the middle of nowhere. I'll take it!

 

 

 

 

Mom’s Miami Vice

So, last time I was on breakaway they had this large pads that they put on you when you rode the twin fast drop water slides. This time around they only put them on people who weigh less that 100lbs, I think. One guy went on the slide, and he came out with these two marks on his back. This picture was taken a couple of days after he rode the slide.

 

I did not ride it after I saw that. I tend to get scratched up on water slides.

 

 

Enjoying my drink.

 

 

We also got some nuts.

 

 

After a little while there, we went to the room to get ready.

 

 

[gambee]

Back in the room.

 

 

We got ready and went to 5 o’clock to meet the gang. They had all done the jost van dyke shore excursion through NCL and loved it. They highly recommend it.

 

 

Some weather building up.

 

 

I got my usual.

 

 

 

[gambee]

It was raining a little.

 

 

Will had forgotten his GoPro charger, so mom went to get mine so that he could charge his camera for Nassau.

 

 

After drinking and enjoying ourselves for a little while, we left to head for dinner. On the way there I noticed something very embarrassing. It is beyond me how this happened. I wasn't not even that drunk when I got dressed :D

 

Dear lord, I was even wondering why my phone was not going all the way in the pocket, LoL. It was too funny!

 

I am not sure how no one noticed.

 

 

How the hell did that happen???

 

 

Although I look a bit lit, LoL!

 

 

So I quickly fixed it up, LoL.

 

 

[gambee]

 

That night we went to Pinchos tapas bar.

 

 

We asked for a table outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

By the way, you can use your food package here. But we did not. It just made no sense to us since other places are much more expensive.

 

 

They keep the menus here, very cute.

 

 

Mom’s sangria, she said it was excellent.

 

 

[gambee]

 

Those are the blue crab ones. They were really good!

 

 

Grilled calamari, also great!

 

 

The shrimp skewers, very tasty as well.

 

 

Those are potatoes. They were actually really nice, we needed some kind of starch and these ones hit the spot.

 

 

[gambee]

 

And here is the bacon wrapped lamb. They were quite interesting, but enjoyable.

 

 

 

And yes, I ate the shrimp head :D.

 

 

The sauce was really good.

 

 

[gambee]

 

The loser of the night was the shrimp and clams ceviche, it was actually quite bad, and watery.

 

 

And then this happened… I think it was the ceviche on top of it.

 

 

Service again was excellent, nothing to complain here.

 

Here was the bill for that night.

 

 

After that we stopped by the mojito bar.

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

The pinchos bar was a little busier.

 

 

 

That is Bayamo

 

 

[gambee]

 

I think it was the passion spicy mojito. It was pretty good, and not as spicy as the jalapeño one.

 

 

Then we went to get some dessert.

 

 

We walked by bistro on the way there.

 

 

They had a fun family game show in the atrium.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

We shared one. Mom said she did not want any, but as soon as I had it in my hand she asked for some :rolleyes:

 

It was quite nice.

 

 

We sat there and enjoyed the rest of the event.

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

We looked at was going on, and decided to go to Howl at the Moon.

 

 

 

 

WE stayed there for a little while, it was quite fun and entertaining.

 

 

[gambee]

 

Then we walked around a little.

 

 

We never got around bowling.

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

After that left to check the comedy show at the main Theater. It was so funny! Both mom and I really enjoyed it, and that says a lot. Especially considering that we were standing the entire show. We got there a little late and all the seats were taken.
