Labadee 10/25

Musical Cue:  The Beatles, "Here Comes the Sun"

It's our day to visit Labadee, Royal Caribbean's private island, and I have visions of lounging on the beach.   It was ssunny and warm as we headed to the Windjammer for breakfast.

And then...

Musical Cue: Gene Kelly, "Singin' In the Rain"

The rain began before we arrived in Hati.  We had booked a shore excursion, a cosastal cruise around the island, and so we wnet ashore to find out what was happening with that excursion.


What the smart set wore to Labadee:


Our 9:00 excursion was cancelled, and we were told to come back at 11:00. We waked around the island in the rain for awhile.

The weather had improved by 11:00, so we were able to enjoy the costal cruise.  We saw fishermen, beach houses, the village of Labadee.




After the cruise, we walked around the island for awhile.  the artisans can be very aggressive in their sales tactics, but we can hande that.

A view of the ship:


Musical Cue:   Eurythmics, "Here Comes The Rain Again"

And then it started to rain again, so instead of lounging on the beach, we went back to the ship.  We had lunch in the Windjammer.  He took a nap and played trivia, while I headed back to the Fitness Center and another workout.

We stopped at the Schooner to play more trivial before dinner.  Dinner that night was summer fruit, linguini pomodoro, and chocolate ice cream.

Musical Cue:  Barry Manilow, "Could It Be Magic?" segues into "Razzle Dazzle" from the Broadway musical Chicago.

The entertainment this evening was Drew Thomas, a magician made famous by his appearances on America' Got Talent.  I enjoyed the show...but...there was a lot of singing and dancing and not nearly as much magic and illusion as I would have liked.

We grabbed some snacks on the Promenade on our way back to our cabin.  No stargazing that night because of the rain.
