Live from Navigator March 17, 2017 - Ship Faced Shamrock

[CruiseLifeRick]

Alright, so I did next to no posting yesterday and as much as I would like to say that it was due to me and my two coconuts passed out under a palm tree, sleeping is apparently not an option on this trip.

 

Standing, sitting or other activities that lack forward movement are also being policed and punished for.

 

So after an action packed day of climbing, jumping, diving and excessive drinking in Curaçao, it was time to head back to the ship for some real food.

 

Just a note the Wet and Wild Club on Mambo Beach lacks any food of substance and most of the group was held over on nachos that were about as appetizing as what you get from your local movie theatre.

 

I was pleasantly surprised to find the Windjammer stocked with crab cakes. Two of those delicious bad boys and I was good to go for the night.

 

I would be remised if I didn't also give a big shout out to the Royal Caribbean BBQ sauce that was enjoyed with some tasty Windjammer fries. Tarter and BBQ sauce on one plate...clearly I was not sober.

 

At 9:30 PM, we headed to Studio B for the most well attended dance party of this nine night rager... The 50s/60s dance party. Hip replacements rejoiced.

 

 

Even the wallflowers found a way to get their freak on.

 

 

After wearing down the dance floor with our sick twist skills we made our nightly pilgrimage to the Cosmopolitan Club, to only have our dreams shattered when TicTac announced that we would have to endure 60 minutes of Classic Rock music.

 

Jenny took over the floor with some interpretive dance to kill the time, while TicTac continued to kill the mood.

 

 

The group stayed until about 1:30 AM, enjoyed some pizza and made our way back to our cabins for a 6:30 AM wake up. Catamaran tour in Aruba in the morning.

Nothing bums me out more than when I reach the last post of one of your reviews...

 

Now I have to actually do some work until the next one.

We are doing this cruise in November. Which Catamaran excursion did you use in Aruba. Was it a private excursion or through Royal?

 

Thanks.

We may or may not have had our taxi driver take us to the McDonalds drive through today. I mean don't even try to judge us for wanting to have a Happy Meal on "One Happy Island!"

Those don't appear to be Shamrock Shakes.

For the amount of jumping into water I have had to do the past few days, my shamrocks are very well shaken sir. #doitforthevine #dopeoplestillusevine

I am totally judging you on the McD's. Someone has to and it might as well be me. For shame sir, for shame.

We tried doing the one offered by Royal, but it was sold out. So Chase found us an independent tour, which actually provided for an extra hour of sleep this morning, which he owes me a few more of.

 

You can search for the below if you are interested in the tour we took. I can neither confirm nor deny that alcohol was made available prior to snorkeling.

Wow. I can only imagine what the last 14 pages had you saying about me? The quarter pounder is what finally tipped the scale? <----You see what I did there? [emoji6]

Glad to hear it, Chris.

 

You get what you see/read with me, so I'm glad I can be myself here and have you all along for the ride.

 

Look forward to the next review.

I knew you could take it. Besides, it's sheer jealousy on my part since I am landlocked for another 7 months.

These days just need to slow down already!

8 more days for my turn with this itinerary. A more subdued experience is planned, however cruises due tend to break out my alter ego. One never knows, do one?

Chase, I know you couldn't get the drone up today, but enlisting a helicopter...really?

 

I hope your Photoshop skills can remove a man who appears to be in his underwear, perhaps a flesh tone pair.

Why are there no photos of Chicken McNuggets or Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese in this thread?

I take it the squad doesn't come with the catamaran.

[CruiseLifeRick]

Just some random pictures from Aruba today. Unfortunately, between drinking, swimming, drinking and dancing (again, in no particular order) the camera was tucked away most of the day.

 

 

Palm Beach Holiday Inn Waterfront

 

Palm Beach Pelican Pier - Catamaran Embarkation Point

 

I always find the lines on a sailboat interesting. Don't try to figure me out, it's a losing battle.

 

This is more of an inside joke, but throwing it in.

 

Also, the tour offered up snuba for those interested. Thank you Chandler for modeling it for us.

Believe me, your travel insurance couldn't handle it.

Isn't there some piece of lettuce you should be snapping pictures of?
