Your memory is as sharp as ever! Which did you like better. We did Turquoise Bay back in 2018 but it wasn't the VIP experience. I don't remember them having a VIP experience. I thought it was just OK. I know Maya Key doesn't include any beverages or food but the price difference is $100. For $100 I think I could buy a lot food and drink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Maya Key there are more things to see like the animals and they had a nice pool which Turquoise Bay did not. Maya Key may be the better deal but I definitely got my money’s worth at Turquoise Bay. The food and drinks were amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally, when it was Fin n Flippers it was PAYG. It is super easy and convenient from the port. It is our go to place when we have young kids with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a lot of “improvements” since we were there several years ago but I am not sure if they were done before or after the take-over. Were the over- the-water-cabanas there when you visited? There are certainly a lot more loungers etc than when we went and it is another location which has become predominantly a cruise line excursion.

Rare Tree_skier Posted May 10, 2023 #93260 Share Posted May 10, 2023 These were there but no one was in them and there was no way to purchase them that I saw. They were still working (staining) on the pier/walk way out to them. Perhaps I was there just before hand. All I remember is the they served drinks and I was underwhelmed by the food. It's sounds like @Sea Dog's experience was very different than mine. I'm not complaining about the experience just that it was Ok not great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went before they even existed and went independently. The guys went fishing. i would like to go back and try the renovations. I prefer to be away from the hassle of West Bay.

Owen had a double, a single and a walk. Owen got the player of the game for his team. He got home twice. Now we just have to warm up. Rugby Tourney tomorrow. WTG Owen!!⚾⚾ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted May 11, 2023 #93269 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) @Tree_skier here is a rugby tourney update from today. Each game was 25 minutes, and there was no kicking for extra points. Automatic 7 points with each try. Beautiful weather today here, 20C and sunshine. The last game was the toughest as we were down a few players from concussion protocols, a fractured finger, and another player with his arm in a sling. 4 games played, with 4 victories. Owen’s team won in extra time with a try. 7/0 was the final. Owen had a huge kick from midfield of approximately 50 yards that got the ball into their end zone. They were tackled in the end, and then they got to kick the ball back. Owen deflected it, and then it hit their player who was offside. In the following scrum Owen’s team got possession and ran it in. Chaos. I’m sure I didn’t describe it properly but you get the gist of it all.

We are fortunate that we can see so many in person, for the two that live here. Our grandson plays first base, and he is good at that position. We will be off to another game tonight. Our granddaughter is better and is back to school today. Unfortunately, she may have passed it to me, because I feel something starting this morning. As far as the cardiologist, it is watch and wait to see if it progresses to the point where surgery is needed. I got the same response from the surgeon at Cleveland Clinic, after they looked at my records. Will have to see if it progresses any when I get another scan in the fall. Action-packed base, for sure! Is your grandson tall? Glad your granddaughter is better; now you have to make sure you take care of yourself. Jim's Cardiologist told us we'd know when it was time for Jim to have his heart valve replaced. We came home from Florida and mentioned Jim's exhaustion...sure enough, it was time. Best wishes, Mark🙏 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest things I miss in my life, as it is currently constituted, is my involvement with youth rugby. Congratulations, on a great day, those look like some fierce competitors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
