Beagleluv6107 Posted May 7 #257 Share Posted May 7 Hey Jeff & Patti, I'm so happy to see you started your b2b review. A wonderful job as always. I really want to go on the Vista now!! It's nice to know that when the Hubby eventually turns Diamond, I can tag along as his guest to that lunch. It looks incredible. Thanks again for doing your reviews with all the stunning pics! Fingers crossed for pain relief after the surgery! We need our favorite Photographer! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogladyrider Posted May 8 #260 Share Posted May 8 That rocky side with the beached whale has amazing snorkeling opportunities...just bring water shoes. Reminder there is a huge drop off point near where the ship docks. Ocean is DEEP! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Country Inn & Suites in Kingsland Georgia is about 25 minutes from Jaxport. It is where we always stay when cruising from there. It's tough to have foot problems when you are on your feet all day. Hopefully it won't get any worse. We're looking forward to seeing you guys on the Valor next year. 😎 #TeamValor25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 8 Author #265 Share Posted May 8 Patti heads up to Deck 5 and checks out the starboard side Lanai where Guy’s Pig & Anchor BBQ Smokehouse is. It’s not open today.

Patti’s thirsty from all her walking so she orders a Malibu Bay Breeze from Kiran for herself and gets one for me…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 8 Author #266 Share Posted May 8 We spent most of the afternoon at the Havana Area. Here are some views….. Patti got some views of Grand Turk from the Havana Area…… We were getting hungry so Patti ordered from room service and had it delivered to us in the Havana Area. Are we getting lazy or what? We had chicken tenders and chicken wings with fries. We forgot to take pictures. Sorry. LOL. Around 4pm we made our way back to the cabin to take a nap. We found that I Gede had left us another towel animal….. To be continued….. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted May 8 Author #267 Share Posted May 8 Tonight in the Liquid Lounge they are having Deal or No Deal. We have our favorite seats, our drinks and our cards….. Marty the Cruise Director is the host….. Virgil is the first contestant, and the $1000 comes off the board fairly quickly. He turns down a $240 offer and winds up winning $150. Tyler is the second contestant, and once again the $1000 comes off early. He takes it down to the very end and wins $125….. Our cards only gave us a $29 bingo package so a net loss of $21. Well get them next time! Afterwards, we went up to the Lido Marketplace and made ourselves a couple of salads. We topped that off with some ice cream, and then back to the cabin for the night. Today’s Cheers count: Patti = 4, Jeff = 12. For the day (+4), for the cruise (+12). Coming up next: Our day in Amber Cove, and # 11 revealed! IYKYK. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knights on the Beach Posted May 9 #270 Share Posted May 9 On Grand Turk day, we repeated our morning routine of coffee (Pepsi Zero for me) with Setyo, breakfast at Blue Iguana and then walked a few laps on deck 12. We hid some ducks and found a couple, enjoyed some drinks and food and just totally chilled out. We took advantage of a less crowded ship and hit the hot tub by the Tides pool. After dinner at the buffet, we headed back to Ocean Plaza Bar for a couple drinks with Setyo and listened to the Vista Rock Band for a bit. For the rest of the cruise, I called them The Kids of the Kingdom after a Disney group that used to perform in front of Cinderella's castle in the Magic Kingdom. They were super animated. 🤡 We found out a little girl in our FB group had a birthday the next day and had not had much luck finding ducks. So we went to Cherry on Top, bought her a big duck and stuck one of our pink ones in with it to drop off at her cabin the next morning. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webecruzen Posted May 9 #275 Share Posted May 9 @Knights on the Beachjust noticed we are neighbors. We are in Lakeland. thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics of the trip as well. Jeff and Patti looking forward to more. Can’t wait until we have a countdown clock running again. So much going on here we haven’t been able to commit to anything right now. Praying Patti’s surgery goes well and she can walk more comfortably soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
