island lady

Yeah, I just asked my cabin attendant. He told me it is just the "boil and fry" for we on the quarter segments as well. Though being in a suite, we get freebie pressing on formal night...whop-de-do.....not needed, we are not doing the formal thing. So in other words...nothing different at all, unless full WC cruisers. And as we all know.. all Pinnacles and D+ still get it, even in an inside cabin, on a one week cruise. 😑 Indeed the wording was really misleading on that perk.

Welcome to Curacao! We are waiting to go ashore until my sister arrives. She is staying for a week in Bonaire, but taking a little island hopper over here right now just for the afternoon. We are meeting at Ceviche 91 Gastrobar....soooo good! Great food and drinks, fantastic waterfront deck on the mouth of the harbor. Will post yummy pictures later. 🙂 Then tomorrow, when we arrive in Bonaire, they are picking us up to visit with them at their rental condo and enjoy the day together. After I had already teleported home yesterday, due to needing another tube of my favorite toothpaste, I found this sign. I am waiting to be arrested by Serenade security soon. 😱😁

Thanks, I stumbled on it yesterday. Booked my 2026 Orion Hong Kong to Vancouver...using chat. 😉

We watched the Arubian dance (like colorful Carnival/Mardi Gras) like celebration on the pool deck at 7 pm. It was great...but my video did not turn out...drats. 😞

We are getting new cloth draw string bags.

I gave up, and did the boil and fry and the "do it yourself". 😉

Haha! Silly girl! 😄 Hey, where were you two tonight?

Oh believe me...he already had that wonderful experience in the "Land of the Dragon"...though he said the Malaria pills were almost worse than having the disease!

OK...I found the "Holy Cow". 😄

Excuse me...one of us is on the wrong side of the road!!

West Deck beach bar...good food, wine and beer with a view!

Yup, can rule the world as long as you have Duck Tape!! 😄 Quack! 🦆

We were stabbed ( by my sister the infectious disease doctor at her insistence), as vaccines for Yellow Fever and pills for Typhoid. Already up to date on yet another Covid vax and flu.

Orlando? Not a port city. 😉 Try Port Canaveral.

Just bring your check book. 😄

Just in case you forget what cruise you are on...there is a rather large reminder in the Centrum.

Walking around the deck, waiting for cabin attendant to finish before we head ashore: (Freewinds) Church of Scientology...Tom Cruise still not spotted. 😉 Popular marina for tour origination, vendors, a few cafes, and fishing charters. Being a "wanna be" Audubon society member...did some bird watching. And ran into this happy fellow, walking his dog. Though he did not have much to say.

Hello Aruba! Arrived 2 hours earlier than scheduled. Of course the "Freewind" is still docked in it's usual position. Have been here many times, and in fact 3 times this year alone. Have never seen it leave, though supposedly it does for a short trip (maybe to get the engines some work?). And have never seen Tom Cruise come and go from it either. 😉 Will be walking down to West Deck for beers, wine, and lunch. Love that place on the beach! Pictures to follow.

We just spent two days at sea. 😉

And sometimes comes with crayons and coloring page! 😄 They teased Bucky with that on Wonder in CK.....he loved it!

Being as cold as it would be...... 😄

I am quite sure they are used to it. What I can't figure is how they deal with the slobs (and you know who they are) that treat their cabin as a dump. And most of us have seen those when the doors are open for cleaning. I sometimes ask the attendants..."How do you clean around that?"...they just smile and say they deal with it. So....no worries about a nice line of clean laundry. 😉

Ahh...will be interesting to see how these come out. Undies pressed and on hangers? 😄

Goes with the Pajamas, robes, and slippers on those night sirens. 😄

Yes, though I call that cheaper choice..."boil and fry". Nothing is pressed and folding is ..well...let's just say it's stuffed back in the bag. 😉
