Just Back from My cruise.
We got home at about 4 PM yesterday after driving back fro Galveston.
It's about a 6 hour drive. Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas is still a great lady. The ship was in beautiful condition and spotlessly clean. The food was very good and the crew were just awesome. We won a couple of little prizes at trivia and I entered the "Miss Biceps" contest. I didn't win (I didn't expect to at age 64+) but it was fun. I do have nice biceps, though. The entertainment was not so great. The production shows were very good and the ice skating show was, as always, a treat, but except for "The Unexpected Boys" a take off on the Four Seasons who we saw in April on Explorer, the other shows were boring. Comedians were not funny. The weather was wonderful and the seas, except for the first night, were calm and smooth. Great voyage. We didn't even get off the boat in Cozumel. BTDT too many times. I did do the Sea Trek Helmet Dive on Grand Cayman and it was awesome. Can't wait until ti get the little underwater film camera in to Walgreens to develop the film. At Montego Bay we found a cab driver a little bit away from the port terminal commotion and hired hi for a tour. Went to some nice sites and to Rose Hall Plantation. We bought some Blue Mountain coffee and a little bottle of Appleton rum which security took upon re-boarding but returned on Saturday night. Not a problem. I bought it to take home anyway. Lots of nice people aboard and probably one of the funniest waiters ever. Only thing that did not pass muster was the service in Portofino's the specialty restaurant. It was way off. Booked our next cruise on Celebrity for 4/12 to get a free upgrade and on-board credit. Secured a good location cabin on deck 8 mid-ship near the elevators. We don't want to be too high or all the way forward or aft if the Pacific crossings are rough. It's from San Diego back to San Diego and goes around the Hawaiian Islands. 15 days! Next cruise is in June on a river barge. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Glad to see you are back and had a good time. Yes the specialty restaurants have been getting a bad rap, and it seems well deserved. The food was excellent. We were used to much, much better service however. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |
