shadowmeboy Posted July 4, 2017 Author #177 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Thanl you. Your review is the first I have read about LFK people picking you up right at the pier. I leave on Escape on Saturday and they havent even contacted me to let me know this information. If I didnt read your review I would be doing the hike. Can you please let me know how you found out this information? Maybe Ill email them when I get back to work on Wednesday. Love your review. How did you like 5'Oclock bar and where did you guys usually end up each evening? We didn't know about LFK picking us up there either. Larry was standing just to the right side of the white with green roof hut near the parrot. We took our port pictures and Dad had to sit down for a moment. I took the picture of the musical group straight down from the yellow building. When I turned around to the left to see where Dad and Mom were, so we could begin the walk to meet Larry or Dave per instructions. I saw Larry holding the Little French Key sign I saw in the YouTube videos. He was wearing his bright green Little French Key shirt, and standing next to the railing to the right of the white hut. I went up and said we had reservations. He said great! I said we were expecting to walk out to meet you guys, and he said they just recently got passes to pick up in Coxen Hole. He directed us down the wooden path (infront of the yellow building in the picture) from the blue hut with green roof to the parking lot, where Dave was waiting. Dave then got people on the buses to Frenchy's 44 & LFK. We would sometimes end up in the Casino. It would also depend on what we had going on and how tired we were. I loved the 5 o'clock somewhere bar, and told Clarence he has a loyal following here on cruise critic. Their signature drink was awesome, and I had it twice (I am not a big drinker).

barb65 Posted July 4, 2017 #179 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Enjoying your review so much! Just got off the Escape June 3 and this is bringing back so many memories. In fact, we loved the Escape so much that we already booked the Escape next year when she relocates and sails from NYC to Bermuda. Isn't Tyler the best cruise director ever!

shadowmeboy Posted July 4, 2017 Author #180 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Harvest Caye Map insert in the Freestyle Daily Susan went to her hot stone massage early this morning to take advantage of our latitudes discount on spa services while in port. I slept in. Hey I need my beauty sleep! We met at Savor at about 830 am. Bircher Muesli - Susan said it was cold and not so tasty. I took her word for it. Oh look, my yogurt parfait! Eggs Benedict! Pound Cake French Toast - it was good, but very crumbly and hard to corral. A spoon is you friend here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted July 4, 2017 Author #181 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Chocolate Pancakes - Susan said they were very dense pancakes, but good. I prefer light and fluffy, like a cloud exploding in my mouth. Susan and the breakfast ladies. They would sing in unison So the first morning the brought around blueberry muffins. They would sing "Good Morning. Special Delivery. Blueberry Muffins. Today only, different tomorrow." We headed off the ship to explore Harvest Caye. The clouds did not look happy. We met up with Mom and Dad on the pier. They were waiting for the cart, so we started walking towards the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted July 4, 2017 Author #182 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The ship photographers were down the walkway taking pictures. Of course, we had to take some. Welcome to Harvest Caye Ours didn't turn out very well, so we didn't get it. We walked into the shop area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanDeeDee Posted July 4, 2017 #190 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Really enjoying your review - your pictures are fantastic! We were on the Escape last December, so your review is bringing back many memories. We have the same itinerary as yours scheduled for this December, but on the Getaway.

shadowmeboy Posted July 4, 2017 Author #192 Share Posted July 4, 2017 So if there is water, I tend to go in it. Last year in Alaska, I went wading in the water at Icy Straight Point. This year is no different! I am taking a picture of Mom and Susan taking a picture of me. The water was closed to swimming due to the thunderstorms.

Warning: If you are going to get the Nacho's bring a city bus full of people with you or at least a few friends. Don't try it alone or just the two of you. Don't do it. I warn you, don't do it. Raise your right hand and pledge you won't do it alone or with one other person. Susan realizing her mistake. Don't let the smile deceive you!
