Sherrybaby412 Posted March 26, 2011 Author #51 Share Posted March 26, 2011 We stopped at a sandbar about halfway back and spent 45 minutes or so there. It was cool. The water was only 3 feet deep but far from land. We also spent time looking at starfish. We were warned to not take them out of the water or they would be injured.

Sherrybaby412 Posted March 26, 2011 Author #52 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Back on the ship we ate lunch and rested up before dinner. I know my daughter's toe was mentioned earlier but I left out how she injured. On the way to the ship on Friday, she dropped her luggage on her toe smashing her nail. :eek: Well at dinner this night, she was talking and all of a sudden realized her toenail had fallen off. I will leave our gory details. The maitre'D called ahead to the medical center. The hostess actually walked us down. We were met by the nurse who then called the doctor. She had to have her toenail fully removed. Yuck I know. Overall the care was very good and the price wasn't too bad. $133.00. We made it back for dinner. Our waiter had held our food. After dinner, we went to bed. We'd had enough excitement for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Dear Posted March 26, 2011 #53 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm enjoying your review. We were on the Miracle doing the Saints itinerary. Some of our friends did the B2B. We were the Miracle Maniacs. Love all of your pictures on Photobucket, that background ROCKS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoug Posted March 27, 2011 #57 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Here's a few pictures from our tour on Curacao. We did the Coastal and Country Drive. North side of Curacao at Boka Tabla Park. I don't remember where the next pictures were taken (Playa Kenapa maybe) but the tour guide called it "Our Temptation". It was very tempting.

w8ing2cruz Posted March 27, 2011 #61 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Dominican Republic: Our 3rd Port We weren't too excited about this port and had decided if no excursion to just stay aboard. Alex found some interesting info and pics on Saona Island. So we decided to go there for the day. :D You mentioned you caught a boat to Sanoa Island right where the ship docks - was this a Carnival excursion? Sounds like an all inclusive type of thing? Can I ask the cost? Sanoa looks beautiful - maybe not the banana sling things though :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten several ideas for our Miracle Wait'ers cruise next Jan from this review. This is a great review! P.S.

Sherrybaby412 Posted March 27, 2011 Author #63 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yes it was a Carnival excursion. Cost was 99 per person BUT we got an email from Carnival with a discount for 20% of any Carnival excursions. So 80 per person ;) http://www.carnival.com/Activities/Excursion/428043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrybaby412 Posted March 27, 2011 Author #64 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Grand Turk: Our 4th Port Day We had the snorkeling with stingrays excursion booked for today BUT with Jenn's toe injury, the doctor said she had to keep it dry. Luckily we were able to cancel and got a credit. So we spent the day shopping, eating at Margaritaville, shopping, walking to Jack's Shack, did I mention shopping? :rolleyes: I cannot express to you how beautiful this place and the water was. When you walk through the duty free shop, you can go to either the left or right and make way to the beach. We noticed the beach of right was rocky and no one was there. Beach to left was very inviting. Free chairs , beach and sunshine. Who needs more? Oh did I mention the shops ate the cruise terminal? Plus Maragaritaville? The swim up bar at Margaritaville?

BigDoug Posted March 27, 2011 #67 Share Posted March 27, 2011 On Grand Turk, we rented golf carts from Nathan. Had a blast driving around the island. Remember, use the left side of the road. Here are some pics of Grand Turk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoug Posted March 27, 2011 #73 Share Posted March 27, 2011 We ended up at Jack's Shack. A wonderful place just down the beach from the cruise ship pier. In case you were wondering, it was St. Paddys Day.:D That's Capt. Ric in the green gear. The Turk's Head beer was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoug Posted March 27, 2011 #74 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I must give a shout out to our wonderful Wait Team. Elmer and Ida were the best we've had in 15 cruises. Thanks for 8 lovely dinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
