Great start to your review! We loved the Elation the two times we've been on her.

On the Vista they had a pickleball tournament one day on the basketball court. Don't remember it being played any other time.😎

We always thought that the Splendor's Thermal Suite was the best amongst the ones that had the Thallasotherapy Pool. 😎

You guys do the relaxing thing so well! What a nice thing you did with the duck! 😁

Sweet! We'll warm her up for you! 😁

Tonight in the Liquid Lounge they are having Deal or No Deal. We have our favorite seats, our drinks and our cards….. Marty the Cruise Director is the host….. Virgil is the first contestant, and the $1000 comes off the board fairly quickly. He turns down a $240 offer and winds up winning $150. Tyler is the second contestant, and once again the $1000 comes off early. He takes it down to the very end and wins $125….. Our cards only gave us a $29 bingo package so a net loss of $21. Well get them next time! Afterwards, we went up to the Lido Marketplace and made ourselves a couple of salads. We topped that off with some ice cream, and then back to the cabin for the night. Today’s Cheers count: Patti = 4, Jeff = 12. For the day (+4), for the cruise (+12). Coming up next: Our day in Amber Cove, and # 11 revealed! IYKYK.

We spent most of the afternoon at the Havana Area. Here are some views….. Patti got some views of Grand Turk from the Havana Area…… We were getting hungry so Patti ordered from room service and had it delivered to us in the Havana Area. Are we getting lazy or what? We had chicken tenders and chicken wings with fries. We forgot to take pictures. Sorry. LOL. Around 4pm we made our way back to the cabin to take a nap. We found that I Gede had left us another towel animal….. To be continued…..

Patti heads up to Deck 5 and checks out the starboard side Lanai where Guy’s Pig & Anchor BBQ Smokehouse is. It’s not open today. It’s only open embarkation day and sea days….. Patti makes it back to the Havana Area where she finds me hanging out in the pool….. Patti’s thirsty from all her walking so she orders a Malibu Bay Breeze from Kiran for herself and gets one for me….. To be continued…..

The Restrooms by the pool….. This is the Swim-up Bar…… Here are a couple of pool views. Patti will cover this area more extensively when we’re back next week…… This is our Grand Turk vacation home. We will be here next week. We rent it out when we’re not here….. Patti decides to head back to the ship….. The port side lifeboats are being tested….. Patti re-boards the Carnival Vista…… To be continued…..

Here are the Margaritaville Beach Bar and Beach Shop….. The Flowrider is running today….. Patti heads inside of Margaritaville….. To be continued……

Are you on board as well?

Thanks for your review. The S2S's are the thing to do especially if you are flying cross country to get there. We've done Inspiration and Splendor, and Miracle and Panorama. 😎

You'll never forget where you were when they won!

They also have a Craft Market….. This is where you can get a cab or pick up some of the excursions…… Patti is back at Margaritaville Beach….. To be continued…..

Here’s a whole page of shopping opportunities….. You can listen to some "live" Caribbean music while you shop..... To be continued……

Patti’s Flora & Fauna from the Beached Whale side….. Patti is back in the Plaza to show you some of the shopping opportunities….. To be continued……

Patti checks out the Beached Whale Bar, Restaurant, and gift shop….. The restrooms are out here….. Patti next checks out the Mercury Exhibit….. To be continued…..

There are many loungers on this side, but they remain mostly empty because the beach here is extremely rocky….. Here are some views of the Carnival Vista from the Beached Whale side….. To be continued……

Patti is now off the ship….. Over at the excursion pier a catamaran is loading up….. This is the beach on the Beached Whale side of the pier…. This is the beach on the Margaritaville side of the pier….. Patti is going to cover the Beached Whale side of the pier first. Massage or Hair Braiding anyone? Here are a couple of views of the Beached Whale….. To be continued…..

Continuing on Deck 4 moving forward is the Art Gallery….. A little further up is the Heroes Tribute Lounge which is the Sports Bar….. Walking through the Atrium Patti catches another beautiful Dreamscape….. To be continued…..

Patti stops back at the cabin before getting off the ship. The bow cam shows that we are now docked in Grand Turk and people are getting off the ship…… These were our neighbors down the hall. Never did see who they were. Maybe they never left the cabin .….. As she is proceeding down to the gangway, she gets these shots of the Limelight Lounge on Deck 4 aft….. To be continued…..

Day # 4- (April 17th) – Grand Turk (11am – 6pm). We were up at 6am for the day. It’s going to be another warm and sunny day. Since we will be stopping here on the next cruise, I am not getting off the ship today. Patti will be getting off the ship and taking pictures of the Beached Whale side and of the Shopping Plaza. That means she’ll have less to take pictures of next week…… Here are today’s Fun Times….. I make my way to the Ocean Plaza Bar to see Setyo and get my morning coffee. I come back to the cabin to work on pictures for a while. I look up and see on the bow camera that we are approaching Grand Turk…… Patti and I make our way back to the Havana Area to watch us sail in….. I’m going to hang out back here drinking Bloody Mary’s and talking to my peeps…. I want to introduce you to Khim and Jerlyn. These great people take care of everything for the people in the Havana Area. They handle the towels, swab the decks, and bring frozen fruit to us throughout the day. Thanks guys! To be continued…..

He liked Patti. 😁

Yes! The person that you had mentioned in your review was not at the Havana during our two weeks aboard. 😎

Absolutely! 😎
