I love that bus! Is it a public bus or some sort of special resort bus?

 

The graffiti is well done too!

I just booked the 2/26 sailing of this cruise.  Thank you for the preview!

One of the perks of the Haven, unfortunately we still have an hour to the show

I’m curious as what device do you use to hold your camera to the railing?

 

I assume I could also attach my IPhone. 
 

Thanks!

❤️ I miss my old home.   Although I avoid Charlotte Amalie at all costs on cruise ship days 😛  

[tsahall01]

Welcome to my home!!  I can see Magens from my driveway and Tortola and St John from my back deck.  It has been cold and windy lately (for us island folks anyway).  Have a wonderful visit and enjoy the island!

I confirmed last night in Cagney’s that you can no longer take your dessert to go after dinner. I was told it is for “The safety and health of the cruisers.”

The first night at La Cucina I was told I couldn’t take my cannolis to go since “they might cause an accident.” I was able to get them to my room wrapped up in a napkin. No one was injured.

My absolute favorite place in the Caribbean is BeachLimerz in Antigua. Next's year's cruise was chosen specifically because Antigua is on the itinerary and we are definitely spending the day here:

How far is Beach Limerz from the dock?

Can you take a taxi and just walk on the beach?

When you book with them, they arrange transportation (at least they did in the past). It is a short taxi ride (maybe 10-15 minutes?). The same driver will then come in the afternoon to take you back to port.

I had been reading a lot that no to go, but saw another table at LaCucina last night have their unfinished pizza brought back out to go, so when my son didn't finish it and wanted it to go we figured we'd ask.

No push back at all. They put it in a smaller plate and put one of those plastic lids on it. He even went back and got a fork and knife and wrapped them in a cloth napkin for us.

Maybe only cannolis are a danger to the other passengers. Those suckers are real slippery....lol. 

Not surprising to me that there is an inconsistency in what can and can't be done from one day to the next/one waiter to the next.

Sorry you had to smuggle your item out like a thief in the night.

Mine is likely to be an unpopular opinion: Now, while I think the show was very good, I personally liked the prior two shows better.

 

It wasn't just that I didn't know some of the songs, it's that the energy in the room was different. Perhaps that was expected by those that knew the album, but it wasn't by me. That isn't a complaint. Just a fact. Energy was different -- not bad energy. I just prefer the other shows energy is all.

 

It was worthwhile to see and the band is very talented for sure. But it's a one and done for me. If I am on this or another ship with a Syds I would likely skip the Rumours. YMMV

 

 

@Laszlowhere were you? I thought you guys went to the other side of the room. Your pic looks like a zoom in of my pic. Were you sitting on my lap...lol? 

 

What was your take away from the show (as I think your had not seen the others to have any expectations going in)
