Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #476 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The lunch was pretty good, and at least I was able to get something decent, considering it was Sunday. Afterwards, I just wandered the streets some more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deedle7544 Posted February 20, 2019 #480 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Eating good food, drinking good drinks and exploring - my kind of vacation! Personally, I would not have minded a second turn at your Cozumel day - that's on my bucket list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #481 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I had already been up and down the main road and the sidewalk twice now, so I just kept walking and exploring... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #482 Share Posted February 20, 2019 At this point, I'm way down one of the side roads, far away from any other people... There was a sports field and some not so grand grandstands... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #483 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It'd been almost an hour since I last ate, so I sought out another place to dine. I came across a small taco stand on the side of the road, and took a load off... I ordered six tacos and a bottle of fresh watermelon juice... The total came to $3, so I gave the lady a five dollar bill and told her to keep the change. She looked at me like she had just won the lottery... After I finished, I began making my way back towards the ferry pier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #484 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I made it back with plenty of time to spare in order to catch my ride back to Harvest Caye. There was one lone seat at the very front of the boat, so of course I took it... About fifteen minutes later we were back, and I immediately headed straight back to the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #485 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) We had a shower, and I headed to Vibe for a few drinks before heading to dinner... Edited February 20, 2019 by sid_9169 remove photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #486 Share Posted February 20, 2019 After several drinks up at Vibe, I headed to Savor for dinner... Or, so I thought... I was seated quickly, and given a menu. Several minutes went by, and still no water or anything. After about 25 minutes or so, I just got up and left. I headed to Wasabi for some sushi.

Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #487 Share Posted February 20, 2019 For a seven dollar upcharge with the SDP, you can order as many items as you want... So, that's what I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #488 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I just kept ordering, and they kept it coming... It's safe to say that I was plenty full tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #489 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I believe this is the first night that I ended up going to Syd Norman's pour house for the show. I took a few pictures in there earlier in the day while it was empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #490 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Ok, I guess those were just pictures of other pictures... Here's the pour house. I can only assume that this portrait is Syd Norman. Edited February 20, 2019 by sid_9169 remove text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardK Posted February 20, 2019 #491 Share Posted February 20, 2019 How did you like the Breakaway compared to Escape and The Bliss? Did any passengers get up on stage at Syd Normans as with other venues on the other ships? I did the Breakaway in '13 and '14 and am planning on returning next year for Canada/New England- did the Escape 2x last year. and have Encore next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #492 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The house band there plays a wide variety of old hits, as well as lesser known songs from the era. I had no idea what to expect, but I was definitely not expecting them to have five (yes, five) lead singers. Each one switched off as they all roamed about the room with their wireless microphones. It was a bit hokey at times, but they did play pretty well. There was a guy in the audience that was obviously intoxicated, and went from person to person, trying to get them to get up and dance. He was quite annoying, and he was in there every single night. He never really bothered me personally. I guess that I do have a look about me that projects "do not mess with this guy" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #493 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I explored some more, and then it looks like I must have gone to the buffet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted February 20, 2019 Author #497 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just another small aside about Syd's pour house... In between songs, they would tell short stories about Syd. It was odd hearing my name over and over again. Something deep down in my lizard brain would spark each time I heard it... I guess you would have to experience it to understand... Anyhoo, we'll move on now... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 21, 2019 Author #498 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Day 5: Belize City... It's weird for me to reach day five, and the cruise is only half way over... It was like I still had a whole cruise ahead of me... I enjoyed the hot tub up at Vibe. I thought about how I still had my whole life ahead of me, yet I still hadn't figured out where I was going... I went up to Vibe and took in the morning sun. I went to the buffet, and pondered on the meaning of "move along, now" It seems that most of the passengers on this cruise liked to walk very slowly through the buffet line and ponder upon each and every item... Sometimes they would just stop and look at a particular item, and try to decide whether they wanted it or not... Sometimes, they would just stop for no reason at all... I tried to be cool about the situation, but sometimes I just wanted to get the item I wanted and move on... Another time when I secretly wished that I had more accurately selected my time of sailing...

Rare sid_9169 Posted February 21, 2019 Author #499 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Belize City... I normally do something grand here, but today I would just stay on the ship... I mostly hung out at Vibe today and drank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
