If we can DREAM it, we can do it! ..... another 30 day vacation Update 02/07

Hope you had a great birthday!

It's breakfast time here and those pictures are especially appealing. Nom Nom Nom. My stomach is growling now. Thanks!

Sounds like a great start to your Nassau day!
 
Hi Karin.... I'm finally caught up with your trip report. I'm definitely going to have to Remy on our list next time. Thanks for taking the time to share...
 
I hope you had a great birthday, Karin!

The breakfast mix-up had me :rotfl2:!!!!

Tomorrow marks 88 days until we leave for WDW (and a week later board the Fantasy)!!!!
 

How wonderful it is to see the breakfast plates and know I have seen them myself !!!The pineapple stack was a huge hit as was the Trio!!! We all thoroughly enjoyed our sit down breakfasts at Royal Palace !!!
 
I wonder why he was having issues getting the right breakfast out? Was he new?
 
I am not sure I would have been laughing about the breakfast... well, maybe a little. Mostly I think it would have been a tad frustrating. But... ultimately you are on vacation and the meal did look yummy...so best not to sweat the small stuff, eh?

I love carmel fraps. Recently Starbucks ran a happy hour special...half price. I think I almost had one a day during the promo. :rolleyes: Probably not the best thing for me.... I do get the light though...with no whip..so can't be horrible..right? :confused: ;)
 
That was pretty funny about the breakfast - I would have laughed at that point as well...maybe Tom was meant the breakfast he tried to order that day!

Love the pics, Karin!
 
Happy belated Birthday.
LOL about the breakfast mixup and that he remembered you on the next trip.
Yum Frapps.
All caught up.
 
Sorry it took me so long to come back, but Tom and I took a little vacation in Italy and then it was right back to work and that left very little DIStime! But here we are again and going on ..........

Hope I'm not too late to say Happy Birthday Karin!

Hope you had a lovely day

Those Starbucks treats look lovely ....... Guess where I am heading right now! ;)

You were not late at all, Linda. Thank you for your birthday wishes. :hug:
We had a lovely weekend going to Germany! :goodvibes


Happy Belated Birthday Karin!! I hope you had a great birthday and have an even greater year ahead!

You have provided so much entertainment with your journeys and I love being able to feel like I'm traveling along with you guys :)

I def had to chuckle when Tom got the wrong breakfast again - at least he had a little chuckle too and still enjoyed it. Would love to take a Disney cruise someday - esp to Nassau! Your pics really capture the beauty of the cruise and islands :)

Thank you! We had a great weekend and I guess we'll have quite some summer to look forward to. :thumbsup2

Well, I am happy that you enjoy my reports. I feel really proud, especially since English is not my first language. :goodvibes

We definitely got more than a chuckle out of the wrong breakfast. It was becoming kind of a running gag with us. :rotfl2:
I am sure you would love cruising. I am a cruise convert. ;) When we took our first one in 2009 it was supposed to be a once in a life time event and here we are, only 4 summers later taking our 11th and 12th cruise. :thumbsup2


Hope you had a great birthday!

Sounds like a great start to your Nassau day!

Thank you! I did have a really fun birthday.
It was a fun start to our visit to Nassau - we talked about the breakfast "hickup" for quite some time. :rotfl2:


Hi Karin.... I'm finally caught up with your trip report. I'm definitely going to have to Remy on our list next time. Thanks for taking the time to share...

Remy is really nice. And we SO enjoyed brunch. We only did dinner because we knew Mathieu would be there and we would have so much fun with him. :rotfl2:
But, by all means give it a try - the experience is worth the upcharge.
:thumbsup2

I had a fun birthday weekend, thank you so much!
We still giggle when we talk about the breakfast mix up. It was such a laugh, but the most entertaining thing was that the server still knew who we were when we returned in February. :thumbsup2

I can't believe we are just a little over 10 weeks away from our cruise. :thumbsup2 It will be here before we know it. :goodvibes


Your breakfast looked really tasty. Pineapple stacked with French toast, a must try.

The Pineapple French toast is SOOOOO good and actually even if it was not Tom's first choice breakfast, it was nice though. ;)

How wonderful it is to see the breakfast plates and know I have seen them myself !!!The pineapple stack was a huge hit as was the Trio!!! We all thoroughly enjoyed our sit down breakfasts at Royal Palace !!!

We love Royal Palace for breakfast, but I am sure you could have told that from our former TRs. ;)
And I am so happy you liked the breakfast there too, Rosie! :thumbsup2


I wonder why he was having issues getting the right breakfast out? Was he new?

I don't think he was all that new, especially since he was a main server in the dining room. I think he might have just had a bad day. :lmao: We did tip him anyway, as it was entertaining. :rotfl2:

Ann, in the beginning he ticked me off, but when he returned with the wrong breakfast for a second time we just could not help but laugh. :rotfl2:

We don't have Starbucks here, so whenever we get one I get the "loaded" stuff, cream and all. It would be a different story if I could have a Starbucks whenever I wanted.
We did get a Subway last month though! Yes, we are getting more and more of the US stuff here too! ;)

Well said, Christine. I guess he was meant to sample different breakfasts that day. :rotfl2:

Just checking in to say Hi!!!!

Hi Rosie!
Hope you are enjoying your Elvis trip at the moment. :goodvibes


Happy belated Birthday.

Yum Frapps.
All caught up.

Thank you!
I was stunned he remembered us 6 months later. :lmao: But at least we had something fun to tell everyone about in the end. :rotfl2:
 
I wonder if you all thought I would go on with this trip report ............


YES!!!!!
I am determinded to finish off this baby before we take off for another even longer vacation in just 10 weeks. So please stick with me. ;)
 
Day 17, August 27

A little bit of shopping, a French dinner and no fireworks ……. - Part 2

Once the hour was up we binned the rest of the coffee and went on our way shopping.









First stop was the Tortuga Rum Company.





Tom was on a mission to buy some vanilla rum. So after having sampled some rum cake we had a good look around, but did not find the vanilla rum anywhere, so we asked. Well, they were out of it and were awaiting the next shipment any day.
Since we were coming back with the next cruise anyway we were not too worried and just bought some rum cakes for the crew. Next stop was the Bacardi store. Again, we took a good look around and Tom found a few smaller bottles of rum he wanted to sample. Then we walked through the straw market and up to the main shopping street.









We did a lot of window shopping, then stopped at the DelSol store and picked up a few shirts for little George. On the way back to the ship we stopped at the grocery store, had another good look around and finally picked up a few spices and some chocolate bars for the crew members, before we made one more stop at an off licence to pick up a few bottles of Bahamian beer for Tom.
We slowly strolled back to the ship,



went through customs





and finally walked along the pier back to the ship.







And right before we were to get on, we ran into a mother – daughter team, who was part of our Fish Extender team and we stopped and chatted for some time.



They were heading into Nassau to do some shopping and we went back on board.





It didn’t take long and we were back in our stateroom, emptied out the Fish Extender, took a drink out of the fridge and rested for a few minutes.
We had not had lunch yet, but Royal Palace was close to closing time, so we decided to just head up on deck and get something from the counter service. There were lots of people in the pool area, but thankfully we found a table after we had picked up some food. Tom had ordered



a piece of Peperoni Pizza and a piece of Chicken barbeque pizza, while I stuck with the



Pizza Margarita. Tom went to get some drinks and we were all set to dig in. We must have been really hungry because we both went back for more food. I picked up a plate with different wraps,



a Chicken Caesar one, a Tuna salad one and a Greek salad one, while Tom ordered his favourite counter service food on board,



a Hot Dog with fries. He loaded it up with mustard, ketchup and some pickles and was in Hot Dog heaven. After we had finished our rather big meal we wobbled back to our stateroom to plop onto the chairs on the veranda and enjoy the wonderful day with another drink.


To be continued ............
 
I am definitely hitting the Bacardi store while I am in Nassau! :thumbsup2 Vanilla Rum sounds like a winner! Do they give samples? :rotfl:

those little wraps look so yummy!
