Ohmygosh, so much to report but phone is running out of juice and the WiFi on the ship is so slow &  unreliable that I haven’t been able to write my blog.  Shame on me!

The ship is as nice as it gets for Carnival.  Everything in good working condition, the food is good and plentiful and although we didn’t get to go to Bermuda, it’s been nice to see old San Juan and Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic.  I’m really looking forward to Turks & Caicos tomorrow, someplace new for me!

Here’s a sign that may give comfort to some:

What else is new?  Well we have been followed by one hurricane or tropical storm after another.  Got soaked coming back to the ship yesterday in San Juan.  Thank you Susan for the rain poncho last Christmas!  Discovered a great little hidden courtyard bar in San Juan where they claim the piña colada was invented.

The thallosotherapy pool on the ship is Paula’s favorite spot, she can be found there while I’m doing my 45 minutes in the gym. I think I’ve finally had my fill of bacon & sausages.  Didn’t seem possible but I may have finally fulfilled my nitrate and nitrite requirement!!  Thank God for the treadmill! 

The ship has everything, ropes course, billiards, mini golf, water park, a couple of pools, BINGO & Trivea (of course), craft classes, medispa, giant chess & checkers, dancing, theme parties, great shows, movies under the stars (I’ve seen The Avengers & Godzilla 🤣) line dancing, and on & on.  Seriously down to about 5% power so have to sign off.  Hopefully more tomorrow.
