They did on the boat but not on the bus. It was very unusual

 

If it was me, I would let the Adventures desk know.  Not cool.

Chopsticks wasn’t as crazy as it has been this week and they just put out fresh sesame chicken so I grabbed some.

 

 

I really liked Chopsticks when I was on the Spirit back in December. I think I actually prefer it to the Mongolian Wok - and I love that Wok.

Yeah just not a buffet person myself.

How long was the boat excursion? Was it worth it?

We were actually on the boat a little over an hour. I liked it.

All kinds of fun just waiting to be had in Freeport 

 

 

 

 

I know I have been there once but for the the life of me can't remember anything about it. We always do excursions so we must have done something 🤔

Well that's crappy. One time we waited almost half an hour for 3 missing passengers. They just strolled on laughing like it was funny that now our shopping time was cut short. Everyone on the bus booed them, that wiped the smirks off their faces.

Our last crusie was on the Spirit with almost the same itinerary (HMC instead of Princess Cay) over Halloween and this is bringing back some fantastic memories. We loved the Spirit.

 

If you want some delicious conch fritters, in Nassau, on your way to or from John Watlings (those Pina Coldas are excellent) stop in at Bahamian Cooking on Parliment St. one block south of the port. Everything we had was top-notch.

In my case I was back 5 minutes early from the time we were given.

So odd they didn't notice one was missing. I have seen the tour operators sometimes recount two or three times before taking off. Or when anyone is missing they get into a panic until they show up.

The number of kids in the hot tub made me wonder if water works was open. It is. But nobody is using it. Maybe because it’s day 4 and it’s been closed for three days. Maybe because it’s on the opposite side of the ship from camp ocean but the hot tub is right there. I don’t know.

Yeah that’s why it’s unusual. One lady on the bus tried to blame it on me being solo. “If you had someone with you they would’ve told us.” No if I had someone with me they wouldve been with me. If anything it’s actually her and her husband who would’ve known because I sat next to them on the bus and boat. Maybe that’s why she was acting like that.

Seems like she could've told the driver someone was missing...

I don’t have any problem giving you some arm action.

 

 

 

I would recognize those arms anywhere lol

It actually would’ve been real easy because on the way there the bus was exactly full minus the front jump seat. That empty jump seat in the middle sure would stand out.

 

Anyone want to sign up for one of their diving excursions?

I had the exact opposite experience. When I was on my solo cruise, I went on an excursion in Cozumel. There was a woman who looked out for me and always made sure I made it back on the bus.

Ive found traveling solo I always get “adopted” by people on my excursions.
