Dinner was in Planks tonight. I forgot to take a picture of the menu. For $14.99 you get a starter which is a salad or a chowder... next is a selection of 2 meats out of 6 and sides are potato wedges...I think it said cole slaw but it was carrot slaw with raisins and way too much mayo...3 bean chili... Mac and cheese... which needed salt... some kind of mustard sauce... no clue what that was for... and a slider bun... next is dessert either banana pudding or chocolate cake. I forgot they brought out corn bread and some butters. Or for $12 you can do just the middle part. You can get dessert for $3. I didn't like the flavor of the brisket so didn't eat it. My pulled pork was half fat. In summary, a complete waste of money IMO. I could have eaten better in the buffet.

It's already been discussed that I posted it in the wrong blog.

This morning was our meet and greet. The hotel director, assistant director and the Captain showed up! Not sure how many attended but it was at least 60. We also had a gift exchange where 48 gifts were exchanged between us that brought them and all this was followed by a Slot Pull. We didn't win a fortune but 64 of us had fun. I was starving by the time we got to lunch at 1. My cherry Danish wore off long before that. Tonight we're trying out Planks. It's formal night and Rock Opera is in the theater. A busy day for sure. St. Thomas is tomorrow.

We did make it to Princess cay yesterday. The water was pretty cold but I suffered thru it. Last night we went to the Crown Grill. Honestly I don't think it's worth the money and we probably won't go again. Looking forward to the Sun Princess and all is new restaurants.

Yeah I told my husband this kids gonna need my casino budget 🤣

Does this help? Can you see the pricing? I can go take close ups.

Darn! I missed that... we're having dinner in the Crown Grill. It's not like I haven't seen it 10 times.

I'll ask around.

It was.

This morning we reported to the Michelangelo dining room at 9:30 and were still sitting there just before 10 because one person hadn't left the ship. We finally got clearance and checked out... did the walk and were back on in like 10 min. We had friends boarding and we met up and went to Botticelli for lunch and made reservations for dinner there at 7. We were all entertained at sailaway by the tug boat helping us get out of the port. No plans for after dinner. Might be an early night with dreams of getting into PC tomorrow.

We made it out safely and the pilot just left us.

Headed back out. Hooking up with a tug because they're worried about the winds going out of the channel.

No traffic. We flew thru downtown to Megan's Bay and back.

Today was taken up by a meeting of the in transits in club fusion at 9... followed by lunch...followed by Voice of the Ocean... some great talent on this ship... cocktails on the aft pool area... dinner and now Mission lmpossible on MUTS. Nice to not be packing. Friends coming on board tomorrow... friends remaining onboard... get ports ahead for the next 10 days.

As expected by us, Grand Turk has been cancelled due to high winds. The Captain is presenting himself at Guest Services in case those on board want to yell at somebody...he doesn't want it to be his crew.😮 Be nice people... it's for the safety of everyone.

Vines Wine Bar

High seas this morning on the way to Grand Turk. Just look at the pool.

Adagio on Deck 16 aft right next to Sabatinis. A quiet place for a pre dinner or post dinner cocktail or evening nightcap. During the day it's great for relaxing or playing cards. There's a door at the back that opens up into a deck with wicker style furniture...a nice place for sailaway.

Yesterday was St. Thomas and we took a taxi to Megan's Bay. We were the only ship in port. It was formal night and there was lobster and beef medallions in the main dining room. Afterwards we went up to Adagio for an after dinner drink and then to the theater to see Rock Opera when the curtains abruptly came down. Apparently there was an issue. This very same thing happened in December where there was an issue with the moving stage endangering the cast. They really need to fix this properly apparently. We got up and left because last time after sitting there for awhile they finally dismissed us and the show didn't go on. I don't know what the outcome was last night.

St. Lucia and Dominca were again ship days for us. We've spent days at the Lotus Spa Pool. Dinners between the buffet and MDR... shows in the theater... nightcap at Crooners. The runway in St. Lucia is a scary one. Dominica had rain off and on all day but it's a rainy island.

Good to know. The TV in our room keeps rebooting in the middle of a movie to "free up memory"... lol.

Westside Story was last night. I'll list the others as I find them.
