alexgtp Posted December 16, 2021 #27 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Please let us know how MAHO is. We will be there for NYE trip , but looking at the flight times, most of the Interesting planes start around 1:30PM local time. Most Ship excursions start at 9AM. Might have to do it on our own. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did one ship excursion and the rest of the islands we will find something to do on our own. Been to these islands a lot so we might not get off the ship at some of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We did it on our own. There was 4 of us and they taxi charged us $9 a person. We told the driver it was the first time at the island for one of us so he did a quick tour to look at some of the important buildings and other sites. He was fabulous so we gave him$50. He asked us how long we planned on being there and we said about 2 hours. He waited there for us. We gave him $45 for the return trip.

rcrdale Posted December 17, 2021 Author #31 Share Posted December 17, 2021 If I can ever figure out how to upload a video, I’ll upload some of the planes landing and taking off. We were there from 12:50 pm to 2:45 pm and the bigger planes were starting to come in around 1:30 pm. We go here all the time as we love watching the planes.

rcrdale Posted December 17, 2021 Author #32 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We did Chops tonight for dinner and it was fabulous as usual. I had the 9 oz filet done medium and it was perfect. My wife also had the filet with mushrooms. Our son got the spicy shrimp. For our appetizers I got the peppered bacon, my wife got the shrimp cocktail and our son got the crab cake. Our sides were mostly the Gruyère cheese tater tots and asparagus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted December 20, 2021 #36 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I hope the AAA event today doesn’t affect the rest of the Q class. Someone got hurt bad enough inside the Ripcord tube to be taken away on a stretcher and is about to wheeled off the ship in St Kitts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, I hope the person fully recovers from this unfortunate event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the person opted to stay on board for the long ride to NJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me I would opt to stay onboard and get back to the states too. As long as they have pain meds🤩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserQ123 Posted December 26, 2021 #40 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Be nice, be patient! These crew members are working extremely hard under difficult circumstances! They always have a smile on their face and are very happy, regardless of their long and busy schdules. Just some of the rude encounters I saw--- -Im not sure what the passenger was refering to but he was scolding one of the the workers that a certain item is never out when it should be and he it expects it out when he gets to the windjammer. Says something like "this is ridiculous for this to happen. I am paying a lot of money to be treated better than this" - passenger says to me something like, "I can't believe how slow they are, it's just not acceptable and downright rude." Yea, hunny...you are the rude one. -server picks up tongs to serve fruit to passenger. Passenger grabs tongs from serves and takes her own fruit stating that he was giving her the "bad pieces" -guy making omelets clearly was not at the top of his game. Woman called over another chef and very angrily stated "this dude doesn't know how to make a damn omelet. Can you show him how?" This womans omelet was very detailed and required a lot more than the "average" omelet. He made her 3 omelets until it was sort of satisfactory. The original chef made my omelet which definitley was not up to par but I thanked him as it seemed he did the best he could, especially after being brutally criticized by previous passenger. Seated in theater- it was RECOMMENDED that parties sit 1 seat away from other parties. 1 group sat next to a couple and there was such a fight. Goes something like this--- "You guys need to move" "no you move, we were here first." "Yea, but Im not crazed about having an open seat in between" "Yes, but they require it. " "No, they RECCOMEND it. Thats different than require." "I said you need to move right now." --'The second group ended up moving. Come on people. Be nice. Let things go. Be the bigger person. Move if you are uncomfortable. You are on vacation, don't unnecessarily aggravate yourself (or others) As for staff--- they were amazing. But the Jewelry store staff. Yes, I know their point is to sell jewelry. But they follow your EVERY STEP. They tell you about every thing you possible look at. And more. And they compliment every piece of jewelry you are wearing. LEAVE ME ALONE! If I need help or want to see something, I will ask. Following me around like a hawk and explaining everything is pushing me away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
