Robyn, love seeing you here.  We are on the Adventure for Christmas, or Xmas spirit a couple of weeks before.  I have PRs booked on deck 6, but am curious about 6597 as opposed to 6591, which is still open.  Any ideas about which to keep or change to.  Haven't been on the AOS since she was new (and my first cruise).  Thanx for all your info.

 

 

 

 

 

We chose our connecting cabins based on midship location and it is also on deck 7, sandwiched between passenger cabin decks which cuts down on noise. We also have cabins on either side of us - the deckplans show white space and if it’s a crew door, it could be banging all the time and that would drive me nuts!

I am back onboard after a wonderful day on St. Maarten. I have not been back since the hurricane and was very saddened to see the condition of Front Street - many shops remain closed and boarded up. A few shopkeepers assured me that they are coming back more and more each day.

 

We spent the best part of the day at Holland House and enjoyed a lot of sun, a padded lounger and several Coronas 😎

 

The weather is absolute perfection today. I am sitting at the pool soaking in every ray of sunshine ☀️

 

The colour of the ocean is magnificent and I took many pictures...

 

Tonights dinner will be our first visit to the MDR.

Lovely photos.

We loved St Maarten and the water shuttle into town from the ship dock was friendly with great reggae music played.  Pauline bought some nice jewelry there last time we were there.

Sorry to here what the hurricane did to the island and hopefully it is true that businesses are coming back soon.

Graham.

Stay tuned for pics of dinner! 😁

I’ve never really liked the pizza onboard, but I gotta say.... it’s pretty good this cruise. Could be that I’m just super hungry because all I ate today was a bag of Fritos on the beach lol 😂

It doesn’t get much better than this 💕

Andrew, we are at Holland House, thanks for the tip!!

 

You are most welcome Robyn.  Did men in speedos stop in front of your chairs making it awkwardly for you?  I had them scheduled to visit around noon.

I was expecting pictures of airplanes.

 

OB, you have to zoom in. I can see a plane that took off from Saba.

Okay, did you really order the men (age 65+) to parade by my lounger in Speedos because OMG they DID! 😳

[ckrobyn]

Here’s Shaniqua 😀 She knew exactly who you were and started laughing! Apparently your Mom is set to visit soon?

[tutzig]

Thanks for the thread. I am on her in June and love researching!

Will continue to follow..

I am also very interested in what you use OceanBoy, hoping you can share...

Robyn - I have never been a fan of the pizza on the ship either but that piece actually LOOKS good. Is that from the Promenade Café?

Maybe, maybe not. For all the hours I’ve been lucky to log beach front there, I figured there was a good chance of it happening.  I didn’t think Lisa and I were the only lucky ones. 😉

She is amazing. We hadn’t seen her for a couple years and she remembered us right away. Mom is there in early March, sailing with friends on NCL Jade. I tried to convince them to sail on RC but what can a son do?

Not to hijack OB's question, but I use the marine traffic site.

Yes, that’s where it’s from. I also have to give 2 thumbs up for the food selection at Cafe Promenade, they have really upped their game with a daily selection of antipasto and assorted sandwiches.

Once you walk off of the pier you will see signs for it off to the left. They are about a 5 minute walk from the ship. $7.00 to ride back and forth all day. And, yes, I know my name is not Robyn.

 

As an alternative, a taxi between the port and town is $3 per person, each way.

[ckrobyn]

Since Ocean Boy hasn’t checked in here for a while, and in case anyone is wondering.... here is my location 😀

[ckrobyn]

Someone was asking for the bar menu....

[capnjoe]

Great Job Robyn!  Can you tell us what shows are on board right now?  Any good ones not to miss?

[Ocean Boy]

Big question..... was there a horn battle at sail-a-way?

[Ocean Boy]

Adventure is on it's way to St. Kitts, another island that I really like.

 

And all I use is Marine Traffic, nothing special.

I’m told there was, and perhaps another ship chimed in as well. I was not out on deck, I was busy getting rid of sand in places it doesn’t belong 😂

Ocean Boy always recommends “Invitation to Dance” as one not to be missed.

[Ocean Boy]

Carnival Conquest is coming toward you on it's way to San Juan. Koningsdam is behind Conquest. Both of them were at St. Kitts today.

Only after taking a good dose of alcohol first.
