ncklhaus Posted March 10, 2017 Author #426 Share Posted March 10, 2017 By 2pm the seas and wind were calming down. The decks had been closed due to high winds, but now they were open. People were even back in the main pool, but the children's pool was still closed. The Splash area was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted March 10, 2017 Author #427 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We went to the arcade to waste some money, I mean, time. We stopped at Margaritaville so I could get a Feeling Hot Hot Hot Margarita and we bumped into one of our favorite crew, Marion aka Armi. She was leaving for vacation when the cruise was over. If you read my other Haven review, you have met her there. Oh I really want one now!! Melissa made me take a picture of her in front of this backdrop.

ncklhaus Posted March 10, 2017 Author #428 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We were back in the room by 3:30 and the Butler had brought snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted March 10, 2017 Author #429 Share Posted March 10, 2017 These next few pictures show that the seas were still a bit rocky. The waves weren't as bad and they weren't coming as fast. And the sky and clouds looked pretty cool. Melissa decided to buy a can of Pringles in the gift shop. It's not like we had anything to eat in the room.

ncklhaus Posted March 11, 2017 Author #433 Share Posted March 11, 2017 At 6pm in the Garden Buffet they had cupcake decorating. The whipped cream is ridiculously delicious! Melissa said it was fun to decorate the cupcakes, but she didn't like how they tasted. Only the whipped cream was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted March 11, 2017 Author #434 Share Posted March 11, 2017 After cupcake decorating, we ate a little bit from the buffet and then Melissa wanted to go to Splash Academy again. A few pictures along the way. It was pretty windy up on Deck 15. The rock wall. We never saw it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted March 11, 2017 Author #437 Share Posted March 11, 2017 We went back to the Raw Bar. Sandy was really good to us again. Then it was back to the room. We found this little guy on our bed If you've ever wanted to have the bedding or tableware you had on the cruise, here's your chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyinpa Posted March 12, 2017 #440 Share Posted March 12, 2017 the cupcake thing is rather simple. its at the back of the buffet. they move tables and WILL kick others off them cause they need the tables. then when it opens you stand in line and the staff asks you what toppings you want. they put them all on the plate and the kids go to tables and assemble. its short and a bit underwhelming but still a nice thing to do. and free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted March 13, 2017 Author #441 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Day 13, January 14th, Last Sea Day I was up bright and early hand headed to Tradewinds to pick up paperwork for our purchases. In case you were wondering when it is open, here you go Melissa went to Splash Academy this morning and again after lunch.

ncklhaus Posted March 13, 2017 Author #442 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The weather still wasn't great but it wasn't horrible either. It was still a bit rocky. People were still sunbathing and swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted March 13, 2017 Author #443 Share Posted March 13, 2017 We went to the Haven restaurant for dinner, but honestly we were getting tired of eating. I don't even have any pictures from dinner. Melissa was going to the last night's Splash Academy event, the Pajama Party. But first we hit the buffet. I know, I just said we were tired of eating by we wanted one last pass through. LOL It was then that we hit the crepe station. Well, Melissa did. I just had some fruit. The whipped cream crack Really cool fruit carving While Melissa was at the Pajama party I got our suitcases packed and ready to go and then I went to the casino for one last try. I had a bunch of vouchers that I wanted to either cash or play out. After all was said and done, we left this cruise up. As a matter of fact, when we got home I emailed Casino at Sea to check what we would get for our casino play because we wanted to book December 15-22 for our 15th wedding anniversary. They would comp us an ocean view cabin! We booked it and paid the difference to go back in to our favorite Haven 2 Bedroom Suite. We will be renewing our vows on December 19th hopefully on Great Stirrup Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted March 15, 2017 Author #446 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Before I wrap up this review, I wanted your opinion. One of the days early in the cruise I realized I could take screenshots of the iconcierge app. So I have probably around 100 of them and it gives a great idea of what the app can do. My question is: Do I post all of the screenshots here or create another thread with them? If I create another thread, I would add a link in my signature to them. Your input is really appreciated. Thanks. :D ;p :cool: :* I am uploading the pictures now. There are approximately 150 of them. So that would be another 25 posts at 6 pictures per post.

hansolosmom Posted March 15, 2017 #450 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hi JoAnn - I wanted to say thank you for sharing your adventure with us once again. I also wanted to wish your family the best to get past the health issues. I lost my brother this past summer to cancer, they couldn't tell if it started in the stomach or colon so they just called it stage 4 and he was gone within a month of them finding it. So count every day with your father a blessing. Also have your husband get checked and look into having his gall bladder removed. I had mine taken out and it made a world of difference. I can really understand it causing issues on the cruise because of the richness of the food they serve. Anyway I hope you guys are all well and past everything by the time you do your anniversary cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
