Curacao museum was an army hospital

 

1853 military hospital for yellow fever


Built new hospital. The new one has 500 beds, 7 operating rooms and does all surgery except open heart surgery

That’s a surprisingly large amount of beds and ORs for such a small island. Population just under 200k. You’ve posted some really interesting info from this excursion. Bravo!

Loving your review like always. But you need to hurry up and get back SO I CAN GET ON! Looks like we will be the first Horizon cruise back to Ochos Rios since the accident. Looking forward to my break. But enjoyed yours as well.

The children are our future. 

If there was a crying or frowny emoji, I would use it for those pigeon murderers. And the future that is in their hands.🥺

Instead I used the laugh.

And they made multiple trips. That was the3rd or 4th time. Why I had my camera at the ready. These trips weren’t as good.

This is crazy. I met this couple at alchemy last night. This is my 25th carnival cruise. Their 75th. Found out we’re cruising on together next year. The big cruise only @Jamman54 and @blarko know about. My diamond cruise. My last scheduled carnival cruise. And we’re almost neighbors. They’re 15-20 feet from me. Today they’re next to me at alchemy I find out they’re Mets fans. Their daughter is dating a Mets player. They have all of these pictures from dugouts and stuff. It’s pretty crazy. but a little weird because he’s a pitcher so they’re wishing bad things upon the Mets young up and coming pitching prospects….

All of my polos were sent to the wash last night except for the one I sent out tonight. So I intended to stop by the room and get a fresh polo for elegant night. Since I ended up next to the Mets couple…things change… so elegant…

Yes


Good thing is she gave me a social media group that streams the Mets games and works on the ship. So I’m just waiting to be approved for that.

I screamed chick fil a when I walked by. The people setting it up didn’t seem to know what I was talking about.

I like big butts and I cannot lie!  Got $250 off Matilda's butt once.

I think this is a good time to just get my card switched out so I can bank the pretty 25 cruise one. 
 

I go down there’s one GS agent. The same one I dealt with on my JiJi’s and excursion issues. 

 

Three in the regular line. Nobody in priority. 

The person being helped leaves, I step up. Behind me and to the right I hear “the line starts here!” Several times. I look back and say “im in the platinum line.” 


The guy goes toe to toe with me. Gets up in my face . “I don’t care. I’ve been here 30 minutes and you ain’t going ahead of me.”  I say actually I am going ahead of you.

 

His significant other jumps between us. GS agent says to him “this is the priority line.” She proceeds to help me I give her my room number..then look back at the guy and repeat my room number. She gives me the card. Before I leave I look back at the guy and say my room number again. 

 

Who the F. Scott Fitzgerald minus Scott Fitgerald does he think he is?

 

Not surprisingly, I haven’t heard from the guy. I was expecting at least a written apology.

So that was surprising. Couple at alchemy had been waiting for a table for half an hour. And was showing a 40-50 min wait. I was like well I better request a table! I was showing 40-50 min wait but got one in 10 mins. Before they got theirs.
