2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 7

Posted on
Carol had ordered room service coffee for 7:00 a.m. so we were up and moving at 6:50. It was so calm and quiet that I thought we must be docked at Castaway Cay. Carol stepped out on the veranda and told me we were still at sea, sailing slowly. There was no sign of the … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 7"

We finally slept until our normal 7:00 a.m. Everything was peaceful and quiet; we were docked at Falmouth, Jamaica. Carol went to Deck 11 and picked up coffee which we enjoyed on our veranda as we looked out over this scenic town on the north shore of the island. As soon as the ship docks … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 5"

This morning we woke at 7:15. Cuba was visible through the haze on the western horizon and Haiti was just out of sight beyond the eastern horizon. I brought coffee back from Deck 11 and we enjoyed it on our veranda as we watched the Caribbean, and a few container ships, roll past. What a … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 6"

For us, it’s all about the ship-board experience. It’s about being pampered . . . it’s … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 4"

Carol and I have found that we never sleep past 7:00 a.m. while we’re cruising, so she always orders room service coffee for 7:00 a.m. It arrived on time, as always, and this time she included a few small pastries. We were booked for brunch at Palo and the pastries were intended to tide me … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 2"

2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 3

Carol woke me as she got out of bed . . . at 6:00 a.m. We set our clocks back last night and gained an hour, but we didn’t reset our minds, so we awoke at our normal time. Carol dashed up to Deck 11 and brought back coffee which we sipped on our veranda … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 3"

2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 1

Posted on
I was too excited to sleep this morning. I tossed and turned for a while, trying to fall back asleep, but finally surrendered at 6:15. I tried to be quiet so Carol could sleep – that meant that the banging and clattering was subdued, but of course there was still too much banging and clattering. … Continue reading "2014 AllEars Group Cruise – Day 1"
