Day 9

Aruba Aruba is a place we've been to quite a bit.  We normally just shop here and the have lunch at Taj Mahal restaurant. That's where most of the Indian crew go to for lunch.

Day 8

Bonaire We didn't do much in Bonaire. We took the Tuk Tuk which is the American version of the Thai vehicle but they put an engine in it so someone is driving it and they would stop in certain places and talk about the history.

Day 7

Grenada  This is an island we have not yet been to. So we are doing a our here. We are meeting ip with the tour at 7:45am. The island was beautiful. They took us on a tour around the island. A lot of beautiful sites. Banana tree Cocoa tree Nutmeg tree This is a nutmeg that is ready to pick. This the red cover over the seed. This is the inside of the seed. The left side of the peninsula is the Atlantic Ocean and the right side is the Caribbean Sea . The boys. Just had to pay $2 to get my picture taken with her.

Day 6

St. Lucia I've been up now since 1:09am. It looks like the water is back to normal. I haven't felt any motion sickness. Today's high is 84 degrees and cloudy. Needless to say with the way thus cruise has been this week, I don't think we will be cruising anytime soon around these parts this time of the year again. We were in St. Lucia in 2014 and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. This time we're just going to shop around the port and relax by the pool again. We were outside and it started raining again. Ryan the Pool Bar bartender. My cocktail! Phil's new friend. After the rain subsided we decided to go back out again and take the water taxi to the other side. Nothing but a market. We did not know that there was supposed to be a better area. Of course the locals would not tell you that. They pushing the stuff they are selling. I was looking for Cardamom seeds but one of the ladies selling spice said it was too expensive. The picture below is a picture of Phil and Carol on the water taxi.

Day 5

Barbados Another day of just walking around the port. We've been to Barbados before and we like the island. The last time we were here was in 2014. We outside of the port and found a place where they made tobaccos/cigars. It was interesting but I don't remember if Rick bought any. After that, we found a bar outside the port that also sold fried flying fish and Jamaican beef patties. So, let's see what today brings.  It is 5:42am and Rick is still sleeping. The water has been very rough. To the point where I even started to feel sea sick. However, I found this oil in the ship's gift shop that works wonders. It's a little pricey but worth the money. It's called Motion Eze and smells like Eucalyptus. You just put 2 drops on your finger and rub it behind your eyes. Within 5 minutes, your motion sickness is gone. Here is what it looks like. The good thing about this is it doesn't make you drowsy 💤, and it smells good. Last night we had dinner at Chops and the Filipino chef came up to me and said that he heard I like garlic fried rice for breakfast so he said he would make me some Longsilog for breakfast today. Looking forward to breakfast.  11:52am - we just came back up from shopping in Barbados and had my Jamaican Beef Patty and Fried Flying Fish. Yum! So once we returned to the ship we decided to play a round of 9 hole miniature golf. It's 4:00pm and almost time to have cocktails in the Concierge's Lounge.

Day 4

We had a great time yesterday. A few of usage signed up for Sushi Making class. Here is what. I made. We got to eat what I made. Today all we did was walk around the port.  Nothing really to do. We've been here before. Today's lunch was on the ship. I had Rice, pork schnitzel, and New York steak.

Day 3

Another day at sea. It is still rough out there.  It is supposed to be calmer around noon. Rick and I signed up for sushi rolling class.  Then, you get to eat the sushi you rolled, yum.  Here are some pictures from our dinner last night. We had our thank you party yesterday too.  It was great. I think everyone had a good time. We had a care for three celebrations. Birthday, Anniversary and Retirement.
