It will even out ... 🙂! Stay safe until then! I only had 25 years health took over! Hope my son retires early he should open a gym he is there every day \I am thankful that he boxed as a kid and for our state police! Comes in handy when you have to get into it! He is now 40 but still better shape than some of the kids! 🙂 Bob forgot to say Bailey is adorable and get Hollie some clear broth 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal and Regal have this option, but I wonder about Sky . . . if they make you pay for it. Thanks! Brian They have a fairly sized selection of VOD movies onboard.......

LoriPhil Posted February 4, 2020 #356 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Retiring? I’m betting the adorable Bailey will be very happy to have dad home to play with all the time. Congratulations to you all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all are well.....😊😊😊 Bob Bob, I tried this and was extremely disappointed. The burger flippers up on deck 16 do not possess the required skills to execute this great burger that I have had in the Wheelhouse on other ships. The 'Sky' version of this was a joke.

Rare Woobstr112G Posted February 5, 2020 Author #358 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Good evening everyone from the Sky Princess (1950 local time). I took the above picture as we were departing Roatan a couple of hours ago. Unfortunately we did not go on our excursion today due to Holli still being a little under he weather. I did get off the ship for a couple of hours and toured Mahogany Bay. I must say that I was quite impressed with Roatan. All of the locals were super friendly. I just walked around down to the beach and took a bunch of pictures. I did also enjoy some adult beverages along the way. For dinner tonight, we just stayed in the cabin. I was able to get Holli to eat a little. When I was up in the WFMP, I did note they were doing Planks in a rear corner of the dining area. Tomorrow in Belize, we have nothing planned so I will see what the day brings. I'm going to cut this short tonight because I need to work on touching up and cataloging my photos. I always do this on all of our cruises to alleviate having to do it all when I get home. That's all for now. Hope all are well.....😊😊😊 Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisersmom Posted February 5, 2020 #359 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) We will be on the Sky Princess in late August. Have you noticed if pickleball is offered as an activity? My husband has played on another Princess cruise and is HOPING he can play on this one! Thanks for taking the time to post your observations and your pictures. This is greatly appreciated. Hope your wife is feeling better. Edited February 5, 2020 by cruisersmom 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should ask this I live in a small town our roads are falling apart! They have been poisoning our water for years ..(think Flint) City council voted 70,000 for pickleball courts converting tennis courts! I however have to buy water and drive on the wrong side of the road half the time! We have pickleball courts...yipppeee! One councilor had the nerve to say seniors should stay active and healthy! We are carrying the cases of water into our homes! Cruisemom not directed at you 🙂 On a bit of a rant ....Hope they have hubbies pickleball! Have a great cruise!!

Rare Woobstr112G Posted February 5, 2020 Author #361 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Good morning all from the Sky Princess (0615 local time). We are nearing our next port of call of Belize which will be another tender port. Holli says she is feeling a little better today so that is a definite plus. Today in Belize, we actually do not have anything booked so I'm not sure what's on tap. I am happy to report that I finally found those elusive egg sandwiches in the IC. I am happy to report they are still very tasty and yummy. Couple of things I wanted to mention about the WFMP (yes I know that food is a very subjective matter & I'll try to keep my rant to a minimum). The temps of the hot foods frankly are lacking IMHO. Everything served is luke warm to just plain cold. I believe this is due to the fact they they set the foods out a great deal of a time before the actual sections open. Whatever type of warmers they are using are not working. Lastly, the continental breakfast served is quite lacking in variety. The regular breakfast service does not begin till 0600 (and they are very precise on waiting till 0600 to open). I spoke with a rather unfriendly head waiter about my observations and was abruptly told to go to the continental breakfast buffet. Anyway, rant done. I will check in later. Hope all are well.....😊😊😊 Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted February 5, 2020 #366 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was in Belize last year. The tender ride can be bumpy. Our snorkling excursion was cancelled to to rough waters; so my wife and I stayed on ship, She did not want to deal with 25 min tender ride both ways. Have fun today no matter what you do.
