We actually had a fun Halloween. Some of the crew were dressed in costume too
and very clever ones. We arrived in
Barbados right on schedule this morning.
Kay, Nancy, Deb and Patty went to the Hilton to use the beach
there. Unbeknown to us, the water there
was very rough and actually had red flags flying. The girls came back exhausted from fighting
the waves and riptides. It was the first
time in both cruises that Kay yelled “uncle” and left the show last night to
go to bed. Debbie and I got off and went
to the terminal to get flowers (a ritual for us when we are in Barbados). While she was fixing them for us we walked
through the shops. Debbie bought some
Christmas ornaments and we both got some vanilla. We found a shop that sold bamboo clothing and
went in. OMG! The stuff is so soft you can’t believe the
difference. Both Debbie and I wound up
buying sheets and they will send them home free. I can’t wait to get them now. We went back to pick up the flower
arrangement and the lady had the agriculture man there to give us a form so we
could take them back now. We have never
had to do that before. We met Judy for
lunch and then Judy had a spa appointment and Debbie and I had purchased day
passes for the Thermal Suite. We enjoyed
it but it was way too hot in there.
Usually they have cold showers and ice but had neither yesterday. So many disappointing things about this ship
that just are broken, don’t work or they are short staffed and not doing the
little things anymore. Our cabin steward
has been working since we got on without a helper but they are still expected
to do the same number of cabins.

We met for cocktails at the Schooner Bar as usual before
dinner. We had 6:30 PM reservations at
Izumi which is the Asian restaurant on deck 13 at the back of the ship. There is only one way to get there and that
is by the stairs outside at the back of the ship. Poor planning since in bad weather people don’t
want to go. Anyway, it was sushi and
fried rice and cooking on hot rocks. Kay,
Sharon and Judy order the hot rocks dinner while Debbie and I did soup, sushi
and fried rice. All of ours was
delicious but Kay and Judy did not like the hot rocks at all. Kay said she was having to cook her own
dinner and she didn’t like the way it tasted.
After dinner we went to the show which was Horizon a Motown imitation
group. They were good but Kay was
falling asleep from her beach beating so shortly after Kay left the group did
an encore and the rest of us left and went to bed! The End.
