We named our chicken friends while we enjoyed our beverages 🤣 This is Cluckles And Tobago (yes, very imaginative I know 😂) And FogHorn LegHorn

Nope 👎🏻

Milford Road Esplanade Beers hit the spot. DW had a ginger shandy. She said it was good (if you like ginger ale and ginger beer) it was a cross between the two. Tasted like a strong ginger ale or a weak ginger beer. You can see Many of the shops were not open. A few were open and those were all food & drink. Small beach area behind the I ❤️ Tobago sign

We Putz’ed around outside in the wild 😜 for a bit. Walked down to the I ❤️ Tobago sign and got a pic. What d’ya know there are two taxi drivers sitting on the sign waiting to ask if you want a tour. No thanks. After that we hung out in the Esplanade & had a couple drinks, enjoyed the view of water and the breeze in the shade. There were several vendors that sought us out asking if wanted to do anything or a ride. One guy even offered to take us on a tour for FREE. Umm still no. Most were not pushy but some needed several strong No…No thank you.. Have a great day! seemed to work.

Outside the gates:

The following are pics of right outside the ship & still with the gates. Definitely noticed a strong showing of uniformed police around the port gates.

I know the pool tables gyro system wasn’t working on Jewel when we were in her in 2019. I’ll try and stop by. There’s some teenage kids using it most of the time.

Frozen Tito’s Mojito is in order. DW got a Malibu Pina Colada. We were able to snag a couple loungers in the solarium 👍🏻 cheers 🍻

See prior post re:taxis

We ventured outside and did some exploring. Only outside for about 2 hours. First impressions… #1 Wow - hot 🥵 90+ #2 No shortage of taxi drivers and tour operators constantly asking you to go on a tour. They are literally swarming around the exit gate. It’s like a taxi driver gauntlet. Heres the rates if you’re interested: #3 It has potential to be a great stop just needs more work. General upkeep and cleaning around the port area. Simple stuff like upkeep on fencing and picking up garbage would go a long way to start. I’ll just cut to the chase. My advice is either Book a royal excursion or stay on the ship here. (or do what we did if you’ve never been) Would have been a good beach day but DW’s eye is better but not 100%. She doesn’t want risk a setback & disrupt St. Lucia plans tomorrow. I’ll add some additional posts and pics as the day goes on. I think we are heading to solarium or pool for awhile. Dinner is Izumi tonight.

Exactly 💯 !!

Nope - no idea what that’s about yet

Me too .:. still not sure what that’s all about. 🤔

Chops Breakfast

Thank you 🙏🏻 😀 Yours isn’t too shabby itself ! I’ve been trying to keep up but it’s hard at the moment. I have not seen the bar spin however I haven’t been up there for any late night festivities yet. I’ll see if I can investigate that as I’d be interested as well. Funny you ask about Chops B-fast. That’s where we are sitting now! Service is great here. Food good too. DWs sausages links were cold & not great but otherwise eggs are all cooked perfectly. I wanted something different so had the banana french toast. Yummy.

Today we do not have an excursion booked or anything pre planned. We will get off in the morning and explore & see how it goes. DW wants to do some shopping & I will follow of course as long as proper amounts of beers are included at some point 🍻 🤪 I wouldn’t mind another beach day but DW got some sunscreen in her eye yesterday & it got really irritated and swollen. She has special eye drops and put some ice on it and was much better by bedtime. We’ll see …

Getting tied up now.

We’re making our way in. Here’s some coastline shots

Pilot boat incoming for docking. We should be docked around 8am.

Good Morning from Tobago 🇹🇹

Mini Golf

Some Vortex pics up in the viking crown

A little evening balcony for your viewing pleasure

I knew it didn’t happen often. Sounds like even less often than I knew!
