70’s DISCO INFERNO What’s a 70’s party without the Village People?

INTERNATIONAL FLAGS PARADE

Yes, I saw the amphibious bus, it was leaving the parking area the same time as we were.

I only did the “Trolley Roger” excursion, which I would not recommend. The open air trolley ride took us to a residential area and that was it. I guess for $27, I should have kept my expectations really low. I should have booked a sightseeing tour that included the iconic spots on Grand Cayman. I wanted to go to Hell, but it wasn’t included in my tour. Maybe a minister should not even consider going to the place ?

Ships galore on Grand Cayman

DAY 7: Grand Cayman

DAY 7: Grand Cayman This early bird is quite lonely on the tender... wake up, people!!!

I just came from the Silent Party and I must say I enjoyed it. If you’re into dancing, you should try it if it’s held on your cruises.

Make that the “tongue-tied” Stalker Bot... ha ha

Challenge met... friends, HE is not a bot

Finally won at the trivia games

DAY 6: Sea Day Bottomless Galley Brunch Note: Only the drinks, champagne and fruit punch, are bottomless. The brunch is pick one option per course - appetizer, main course, dessert. The guy at the table next to mine asked for a second main course, he was told he would be charged for it. This package should be renamed, “Bottomless Drinks Galley Brunch” Sorry, I was too hungry to take a picture of the Filet Mignon ?

I’ve always had satisfactory experiences with the ships’ WiFi services since I started cruising with Royal in 2017. I have been able to stream videos and the worst complaint I could think of is a few seconds of buffering at times. I’m on the Empress right now and I’ve been able to stream videos on Disney+

CRUISING TIP: Using a Pullman bed with magnetic hooks for organization.

I don’t think I can be a good judge of what a good authentic taco is. The only tacos I’ve had are the “Americanized” ones. All I could say is that I liked it.

DAY 5 Dining: Caribbean Theme I see how easy it is for the crew to confuse the Caribbean with Polynesia. I praised my assistant waiter because his shirt had a map of the Caribbean islands. But wait, what exactly do you wear on Caribbean theme night?

DAY 5: Costa Maya No excursions for me today. Just sampled some tacos from “Don Lolo”. I hope they were authentic... ha ha
