Our MAGICal B2B with a side of ELATION cruises (with pics) - 10/7/17.

[Jamman54]

Guessing you haven't updated your signature with the November 2018 Breeze Journeys cruise! I was looking at researching it. I've been thinking about a Journeys cruise.

 

We aren't on the Breeze Journeys cruise though I know a few people that are. Journeys cruises are awesome and you should consider one if you haven't already been.:cool:

Following Jamman54! I love reading your reviews!

Day # 5 – Isla Roatan (9am to 6pm) - 10/11/17.

 

Here are today’s Fun Times…..

 

We were up at 7am. The seas were flat calm and it was mostly cloudy outside. The weather forecast called for some passing showers during the day. Out on the balcony we could see the sun trying to peek out from behind the clouds…..

 

This is what we will be doing today. We booked this through ShoreExcursioneer at a cost of $85 per person:

As she makes her way back to the cabin, Patti decides to take some pictures of venues that she might have missed earlier. Here is Guy’s Pig & Anchor BBQ, located on the Lanai, starboard side, which is open on sea days and embarkation day from noon to 2:30…..

 

The Lanai…..

Did y'all ever eat at Pig & Anchor? Or, am I getting ahead of the review? Curious how it is. Unfortunately, I live around some of the best BBQ in the world (anyone who disagrees is just plain wrong) and because of that, most BBQ elsewhere just doesn't hold up...

[Jamman54]

The Taste Bar on Deck 5 aft is open daily for continental breakfast. Usually open from 7am to 9am, but times may vary a little on port days…..

We decided to skip breakfast today, so at 9:15 we leave the ship to meet our tour guide outside of Mahogany Bay…..

 

We are walking on the pier heading to the terminal entrance……

 

 

 

This sign is just inside the terminal entrance door…..

 

This is the most photographed sign at Mahogany Bay…..

Great review, Jeff, which goes without saying as it's the default state for your reviews. One question - on the day 2 Funtimes, at 1345 on Lido, there was something called the Aussie Birthday Bash. Any idea what that was all about?

 

Cheers,

 

Mal

Too bad you didn't get to try Pig & Anchor. You missed the best food on the ship.

[missmichele89]

Great review so far! I'm really enjoying reading along!

[Ms. Fun Bunch]

Hi Jeff & Patti,

I am really enjoying your review and Patti's pictures. I am in awe of you all doing a B2B2B. I met you in February on the Pride Journey Cruise. My group was booked on the Magic for the week of 9/6 - 13 but had to cancel because of the hurricane.

 

I just did a cruise on the Dream and in Cozumel went to Mr. Sancho's for the first time. We had a ball.

 

Looking forward to the rest of your review!!!

Loving this review..will be on her May 5..:p

Hey Mal! Glad you are enjoying the review. To tell you the truth, I have no idea what the Aussie Birthday Bash was about. I checked in our second weeks Fun Times and it was not there. :cool:
