garydm Posted January 18, 2020 Author #51 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Very strong winds off Venezuela resulting in very rough ride last night which the Captain says will continue for 12 more hours. This is one of those drawers coming out and then closing experiences. MDR had areas that were deserted last night. Having breakfast in Neptune as the walk to the Lido could be dangerous. Told this is typical but they say it normally lasts only 3-4 hours. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the seas smooth out for you quickly 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydm Posted January 18, 2020 Author #53 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Being geographically challenged I earlier said we were off Venezuela but we are off Colombia. Still rocking with the occasional big jolt. I understand the Captain is awaiting word from Seattle on a possible schedule change. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydm Posted January 19, 2020 Author #55 Share Posted January 19, 2020 They have cancelled tomorrow’s scheduled stop in Aruba due to the high winds as we are making only 11 knots. Seems a little better or we’re getting used to bouncing around. Took Meclizine again tonight. I’m not much of a believer in pressure point wrist bands but am wearing them. One poor lady was in the Neptune this morning in her robe looking green and asking for saltines. Our most difficult task has been figuring out the times for the games tomorrow as we have been through 3 or 4 time zones. With the absence of people in the MDR service has picked up. I had the snapper tonight and it was rather tasteless. Other 3 had the scallops and they were tasty. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydm Posted January 19, 2020 Author #56 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Nice night. Appreciate the captain maintaining a lower speed which results in less vibration and rocking. Seas were relatively calm this morning but seems the chop is picking up. Breakfast in Pinnacle which was good as always. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 19, 2020 #58 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Glad the seas seem to be improving for you and the captain slowed down to help alleviate the bumps. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 19, 2020 #59 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Catching up with your reports. Glad the seas are calming down. We always enjoy our breakfasts in the Pinnacle -- love that perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydm Posted January 20, 2020 Author #60 Share Posted January 20, 2020 In Curacao today. Saw all I wanted in a couple hours and when I tried to board was told “there was an incident on the island and we have closed the port.” Local security locked all from boarding or leaving the dock for about 30 minutes. The Captain then arrived and we were allowed on board in about 10 minutes. Hot wait. Brothers birthday so doing the wine pairing dinner tonight.
