Day 6 – March 3, 2024

Today is a day at sea and while the temperature is in the 70’s the wind on the deck was terrible.  The Captain made an announcement that we were at maxspeed, 31 knots in order to make San Juan PR at the correct time, 10:00am which is why it was so windy.

Ed had breakfast and then we walked around the ship to see all the regular areas and the shops.

By then it was time for lunch so we went to the YC dining room for lunch and they had a wonderful selection for lunch.

After lunch, we went to the casino to participate in the preliminary rounds of the slot tournament and the blackjack tournament.  The final qualifying rounds will be on the next sea day as will be the finals.

At the present time, both of us have qualify for the tournament, Barb for slots Ed for blackjack.

If we survive the additional qualifying rounds on Thursday, we will be in the finals.  Wish us luck on Thursday.

Then we went back up on the deck where the wind was not as strong and we found a great space to lay in the sun.

After that, we came back to the cabin San cleaned up and went to the show and then the casino.

The show was a production show by the permeant cast and it was all about the music from the movies and it was a fun, entertaining production.

Then it was back to the casino and we closed our night out at 1:00 am.

Tomorrow is San Juan and we are meeting out butler shortly afger docking to take us off the ship.

Night on the way  to San Juan.

Day 5 – March 3, 2024

We have arrived in Nassau along with 4 other ships from other lines so the port would have about 20,000+ people today!!

While Barb got ready, Ed went to the top deck and the YC pool area where they serve a big breakfast buffet.

The only reason that we got off the ship today was to go to St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, a church we have been to before for Sunday services.  As before they were very welcoming.  

Yes, the port area was very crowded!

It was about a 20-minute walk to the Cathedral and we went to their 11:00am service.

Then we walked back to the ship and had lunch, again on the pool deck.

Of course the weather was nice enough (77) that we sat out on the pool deck for the rest of the afternoon.

The show tonight was a comedy performance and she as very good.

After the show as is our custom, we went to dinner.  We have a picture of the dinner menu and it was a nice meal.

Of course, after dinner we went to the casino.  The casino staff is amazing as they have made us feel very welcome and all points to our making MSC Cruises our favorite cruise line.

Tomorrow we are at sea and we have a slot tournament and a blackjack tournament.

Night from somewhere in the ocean.
