  1. Usually it's something about cannoli or trofie, I think.
  2. Frank, I went a couple months ago and although there are a lot of changes, it's still good, but it might take 15 minutes or so to digest the changes. Some of the changes... 1. The bar has been moved from near the food station to the opposite side and takes up more space. 2. It is now a two-level bar, as they've added high top tables to the area at the top of the steps to the gift shop and the bar itself serves both levels (kinda cool). 3. Others have commented on the price changes for umbrellas and chairs, I don't do either so I don't know about that. 4. The volleyball court has been moved and is now surrounded by tables in the sand, so forget about playing any real volleyball since the tables go almost to the out-of-bounds line. The locals who work there now seem really "local", not sure how to state this, just that the locals who worked under Jack's management seemed - I don't know - "gentrified"? Anyway it's still a great place, food is the same, drinks pretty much the same and the beach is still much better than the beach near the pier and the Carnival madness. I'm interested to hear what ninjacat says, too.
  3. I think it might have been the hurricane and/or covid, meaning no business on Grand Turk for a long time. Anyway, Jack and daughter moved to Canada and took Kraken and Calypso with them.
  4. I had the same message for about 15 minutes. I want my money back!
  5. Agreed. When I try something new, I usually finish it "just to be sure" if I thought I didn't like it. I ordered a Vesper in the casino once and gave it back before the server walked away, after a quick sip. What is it, gin? Just plain naaassssty.
  6. If anyone knows of a better live version of this song than this one, where they defy the Stones order not to go out on the tongue, please share. The whole thing is good, but this is the best Alan Collins live solo IMO. Knebworth, England.
  7. The NHL recently announced they were short-supplied on hockey pucks, but fortunately Carnival stepped up and lent them some biscuits.
  8. And possibly sea turtles warming and nesting if you keep walking, so I was told.
  9. I think the 90's were country music's best decade so far.
  10. "Ahh, pepperoni grease and alcohol. Nothing to get things moving like this!" thought Sid's tummy. "Oh, no, not pepperoni grease and alcohol!" thought Sid's stateroom loo.
  11. Sid, if interested, here's the excursion - it also includes Mountaintop which has beautiful views as well. Near the end you can opt for 30 minutes shopping in town or go right back to the ship. I don't know why it only has 3.1 stars. I thought it was worth more than the price. Discover St. Thomas & Magen's Bay - STT Shore Excursions | Carnival Cruise Line
  12. Reminds me of all the bathrooms at the small punk bars in DC in the late 70's and early 80's, One Flight Up, Original 9:30 Club, etc.
  13. You're beautiful and have an awesome, fun personality. Hope to meet you and talk about life, etc. sometime.
