December 19,2025 Turks and Caicos
Another glorious day in another paradise …this is our port side view…so freaking lucky.
We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony…but did not linger…
As we walked off the ship, Timmy spotted a pair of Ospreys
Within ten minutes of leaving the ship, I was swimming…so warm…so clear…the sun was strong, but not brutal and there was a gentle breeze.
Can you spot Timmy?
How about now?
After swimming for a bit…I set off down the beach…
I took many photos of Serenity…this one is my favorite
We spent a couple of perfick hours…swimming and relaxing …then a Princess ship appeared on the horizon…Enchanted Princess has a passenger capacity of 4400…yikes. We watched her tie up , then we packed up and made our way back to Serenity.
The calm before the storm… the plaza in front of the shops was empty …we bought post cards … it really is a challenge to find them…the first shop wanted $2.00 a piece…really? The second shop charged a more realistic $1.00 a piece…
A large majority of Crystal passengers vacated the beach along with us.
One last pic from the pier..
That’s Lexter and Adrian …so many crew took advantage of the beautiful day and our proximity to the beach.
Adnan is one of the wonderful Beef Bar waiters.
With that shirt, we really had to order Pina Coladas…it would have been so wrong not to.
So yes, fried chicken at the Beef Bar…
My Caesar salad…
And we split the Iconic pizza…
Moved over to Trident to write the postcards
Then I spent the rest of the afternoon on our balcony.
The sun was setting as we began to leave the pier.
Which one is the Rain Check, which is the sparkling water?
Veal consommé with ravioli
Small shells with sausage.
Tim’s paella
Don’t ask…
Ely Lee
Alexandra and Ferenc
Just a few seconds of happiness
I love the White Parties…I wish we could have secured better seats…but we are not inclined to dine early…so it is what it is. Karin Kovacova was in fine voice and the showband outstanding.
I loved every minute of this day…especially swimming…thanks for following along 🩵🩵🩵
