Rare TravelBluebird Posted October 4, 2023 Author #228 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Oh heck the TV has been out since late last night. No satellite channels and no cruise map. Was hoping to turn it on to drone me back to sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TravelBluebird Posted October 4, 2023 Author #229 Share Posted October 4, 2023 OK trying to head back to sleep. now, but look at this map from Cruise Mapper—we are off course. This just changed and I have to wonder if we are headed to Puerto Rico due to this medical emergency: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it stop 😭 With my hearing aids, that can be pretty miserable for me. My older child had a painfully high squeal at age two/three. First time visiting my parents with her, my dad's dog bit her! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did seem to stop for awhile again at some point let last night. Good thing seas are calmer! Edited October 4, 2023 by TravelBluebird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TravelBluebird Posted October 4, 2023 Author #234 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Slept in after my early wake up. At Vitality Cafe. No line but taking FOREVER for drinks because only 1 person making them not 4. And no Grandes. And rainy again this morning so considering breakfast options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TravelBluebird Posted October 4, 2023 Author #235 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Wow. Woman at counter didn’t even bother to put my coffee order in. She’s gone and the new person out here made iris right away with an apology but still. 20 minutes! 😡 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYMAN Posted October 4, 2023 #236 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Sitting at the Pub having Bloody Mary. I guess a parade is starting. Quick note, the Filet at Giovanni’s last night was the best steak yet. Even better than Chops and Hooked. So far the food had been great, at least in all the specialty’s.

Rare TravelBluebird Posted October 4, 2023 Author #237 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I’m obviously grumpy from lack of sleep, so take my comments this morning with that knowledge in hand. Obviously it was the right thing to wake everyone up to save someone’s life, so I’m not grumpy about that, just my inability to fall back asleep for awhile. Didn’t do the lovely Park Cafe for breakfast because of the rain and wind. Instead, I tried the Windjammer. My initial instincts to stay away from the buffet (any buffet) were the right ones. But WOW, I really didn’t like this one. The food was fine and vaguely warm (just like on Carnival) BUT it was like TIme Square on New Year’s Eve. PACKED. I found a table to put my coffee and silverware on. On Carnival, that would save my seat. Went and got some food, since I’ll be gone all day on my excursion. Got back, and my coffee was GONE and people sitting there. I find another table after quite a bit of looking (now my food is vaguely cold) and a server comes over and saves the day…I tell her what happens and she got me a new cappuccino. That was VERY nice, and she got it for me very quickly. There is another place to get Espressos right at the beginning of the Windjammer from the non-pool side (aft? forward? I still get turned around). Had my food, weakly attempted a few videos of the buffet (just too many people; will have to try and find an off time), and now I’m getting ready for my day out. Did find a little spot near a kids outdoor feature right near the coffee spot that had NO high plexi-glass outside; will check that out for a few photos of our sail-in to St. Thomas. By the way, the Cafe Promenade espresso coffee is by far the strongest and best (and only dry one I could achieve) so that explains the big line there every morning. Photos to follo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree the Speciality food has been DIVINE; a foodie’s dream! I will probably get that steak at Giovannis; I don’t do lots of pasta. I may dash downstairs for that parade! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TravelBluebird Posted October 4, 2023 Author #239 Share Posted October 4, 2023 WOW. Announcement over loud speakers—many tours cancelled today due to adverse weather. They just read out the ones that are still going, and mine IS still going! Open air buses. I’m going to get wet. I will bring my umbrella; didn’t bring a rain coat hope they have ponchos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear that the rainy weather is continuing. That pesky tropical storm Philippe is probably the culprit. So did you end up bringing your lightweight umbrella from home? If so, good call! Glad your tour is going ahead. Enjoy St. Thomas. Maybe the sun will peak out later! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYMAN Posted October 4, 2023 #247 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Jumping in real quick, sorry. Anyway, bathroom doors have a strange my magnet that closed door at the end very loud. Found a cure. Hand towel and the door still closes. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need someone with a donor card and an O Negative blood type. I unfortunately have neither. We are at a dead stop; I’m suspecting a medical evacuation. I hope the person is OK. Now I’m wide awake. I went from completely asleep to completely awake. Do people have and/or travel with a donor card? I know my blood type but I've never had a donor card. I didn't even know it was a thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
