December 1,2023 Nassau Bahamas I woke as we were sailing into our last port and was rewarded with some lovely views. We were entertained for almost an hour watching families disembark the Disney ship…so many people…so many children. After a while, the noise from the Disney loud speakers got to us, so we decamped the...

November 30,2023 Serenity (Official Sea Day) We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony, then moved inside when the sun became too strong. We did not have a second breakfast because we were anticipating an afternoon of dining delight. We participated in a Vintage Room lunch and lecture led by head Sommelier Jiri Kapal. Our last Vintage...

November 29, 2023 Serenity I love sea days so much, that I greeted our first sea day on this second leg with keen anticipation. It did not disappoint. With the entire day stretching before us, we slept in and after enjoying our coffee and pastries, we read our news feeds and worked on our puzzles....

November 27,2023 Martinique Crystal Serenity Once again we had two breakfasts, pastries on our balcony, then eggs and cappuccino up in the Trident Grill. After a long leisurely breakfast chatting with new friends, we returned to our suite to ready ourselves for our afternoon shore excursion. We enjoyed sunshine in the morning, but then clouds...

November 26,2023 Bridgetown, Barbados We were up early for a ship sponsored excursion…a two site snorkel and then time on a beach in Carlisle Bay. We boarded the boat from the water…oh my goodness! When I realized that Timmy would have to walk across the sand and board a moving boat, I slightly freaked out....

November 24,2023 St. Kitts We finally had a chance to get off the big ship and get into a smaller ship to sail and snorkel. In my opinion, it’s the best way to spend the American Holiday known as Black Friday. It’s been more than twenty years since I’ve been inside a mall (or any...

November 23,2023 San Juan Turn around day for our second leg of this cruise fell on Thanksgiving day. I suspect the itinerary dates were set by folks in Europe…because I can’t imagine that an American thought it would be a good thing to start and end a cruise on Thanksgiving. Whatever. We walked off the...

November 21,2023 Serenity Road Town, BVI Our snorkeling excursion was canceled…perhaps because of the iffy weather. As it turned out, it sprinkled on and off…with an occasional downpour all day long. No worries! I turned the lemons into a Lemon Drop Martini, and headed to the Spa. The new spa on Serenity is truly beautiful...

November 20,2023 Serenity. We were having canapés when I realized that I hadn’t taken any photos all day. Not a single one. What the heck? I really should have documented for posterity our first second breakfast in Tastes. I had a perfect cheese omelet, Tim scrambled eggs, then we repaired to the Bistro for puzzles...
