Do they put raisins in either of the apple desserts shown on the menus?  if you get a chance to try them.  Sooo disappointing that they put raisins in the apple pie.

In all the pictures we have seen,haven't seen alot of passengers anywhere. Where is everyone? Is the ship sailing full?

 

Is it an older crowd that aren't really pool people?

I’m amazed at how empty the pool is. Expected it to be people-soup! But rarely more than 5-6 people in it when we’ve been in.

Yes definitely an older demographic onboard… we feel quite young! 
I’ve only seen 10 kids ( and even they aren’t in the pool!)

Being "young" its easy to zip around the old folks.   🤣

Tagliatelle Carbonara (after breaking egg)

 

 

After a few nights of meat this was perfect.

After dinner walk.  Beautiful night, no winds across the deck.

 

 

The outdoor big screen needs some maintenance

My friend calls raisins "dead fruit".  😄

Moon tonight. 

 

 

Phone pic from my perch at the Sky Bar. 

 

If only the milky way wasn't on vacation down under. 

[twangster]

Not bad for a smartphone, here is the moon from my good camera.

 

 

Venus is the small dot near the bottom.

50+ Radiance Class Cruises, almost all 10+ nites, Repos, Panama Canal and at most once had 50 Kids, this when Senior Crew brought Families onboard a Boston/Florida Repo it was just before most changing over. Low runs about 10, usually 20 at most. Also Lucky, havent been on a 100% or higher Full Ship since the 90's. Passengers on my Radiance Class Sailings run 1750-2050, less during post CV startup

Day Four - Grand Cayman

 

Progress report

 

[twangster]

Our only tender port.   Tender tickets required. 

 

First tender estimated at 7:45am.

 

 

 

[twangster]

Since my excursion canceled last night I haven't found anything appealing to replace it.  They've offered a 20% discount in the letter left in my cabin. 

 

 

I'll probably just tender in and wander. 

 

 

[twangster]

From the cruise compass, just in case.  

 

[twangster]

Good morning Grand Cayman!

Time for a coffee...
