Our 11 Day Southern Caribbean Trip Report-BobandLee

[BobandLee]

O.k., I know that PrettyInTink has her report. And a great one it is. Really have enjoyed reading it. But I thought that I would give it a go also.
Not real good at this and will probably do revisions as I go and add pictures as I get them.

First off. Thanks to everyone we got to meet on this cruise. Just meeting them was enough, but some provided gifts either at dinner or delivered to the fish extender at the room. Then thanks to those who helped out with pictures. I ended up with very few usable pictures either because of camera error or operator error.
Thanks to our wonderful table mates for just being there and making each dinner special.
Thanks to our table server Charlie and his assistant Chris for great meals.

This was a cruise that we were really looking forward to and it did not disappoint us. So, without further ado, here is day 1....

Saturday morning. The trip begins. The flight indy to Atlanta and then to Orlando was an adventure. First a flight delay and then a sick passenger had to be taken off plane. We ended up 2hrs late getting in to Orlando. Then the airline lost a bag. It was found about an hour later. The rental car from Budget was easy.

Loved that car.

We finally make it to the port and the Radisson where we met up with Cheryl & Bob(webray) .
Also got to meet Sue and her daughter Christina and Sue’s mother Barbara, Harry and Beth. And last but not least, Kay.

Dinner at Grills with Cheryl & Bob was great. I had the fish sandwich for dinner was and it was very good. Lee had the bacon wrapped scallops which she said were good also.

We got to wave bye to the Magic as it was leaving. Cheryl had brought along the Big Mickey Hands for us to wave.

.....

Good friends and good food. It was definitely a wonderful evening and a nice way to start the vacation.

Sunday morning. It is a hectic for sure. The biggest hang up is the rental car return. I think everyone that had a Budget car was trying to return it all at once. But we eventually made it to port for check in.
Here we get to meet more Disers. Gail and David (Glindamood), Linda and Terry (Dznelin
Tigrrtum) and Kathy and Mike (Papa). Soon we get to go aboard.
We have lunch a Parrot Cay with a couple from New Jersey. The buffet is good as always. We are also joined by Chip and Dale.
Before we know it, it is time for the Dismeet. It is so good to meet old and new friends on the ship.

After the muster drill, it is time for the SailAway party. The first meeting of the Grass Skirt Fraternity (GSF) takes place. We also enjoy the Grass Skirt drink. Yes, they did know how to make it at the bar.

Before long we are out to sea.

Dinner at Animators is the first time table 23 is all together. At our table are Bob & Cheryl, Scott & Lynn, Bill &Tracy, Peter & Jenn, and the sisters Leslie and Elaine. What a great group to dine with each evening. Our servers are Charlie, from the Philippines and Chris from the Netherlands.
It has been a long day, so we go to bed right after dinner, looking forward to our first day at sea.

<<<We had such neat towel animals each night.

Monday. Started out as most of the mornings did with a walk and a trip to Beach Blanket for breakfast of coffee and Krispy Kremes.
We take a little time to put some more stuff away. To tell the truth, I don't think I ever got all my stuff put up. Suitcases do make it under the bed though.

The Scrap booking meet in the Cadillac Lounge was not long after breakfast. Thanks to Laurie and Elaine for their help with my scrapbook. This was a new experience for me. Now I have a little bit of an idea about what I can do with all of the cruise souvenirs.

Then it was time for the Wine Tasting meet. Thank you Dianna and Sue for the use of your rooms and thanks also to Beth for pitching in. We got to meet some more new dis-friends here.

We later had the Palo Tea with Terry and Linda (Tigrrtum & Dznelin). I am not much on tea, but do like the scones and the trifles.

Dinner was with Scott and Lynn as the others went either to Palo or to the Monday night football. Easy night for the servers.
