  • Today's journey leads me to the middle of the Caribbean Sea. Thanks for joining me on my 11-day adventure through the West Indies over Christmas, 2022. I'll be visiting the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas on a Holland America ship, and there will be a video for each day.
    This video is Part 7 of 10.
    Thank you so much for watching ❤️

      Hi, Brent! Aw, you made me laugh! I know, right! That really was forever. You have the patience of a saint! Thanks for waiting for me. It's nice to hear from you 😀

    Hello Mandi! We really enjoyed watching your video! Made us chuckle when you spoke to the sculpture 😂. We would have to find an alternative for the chocolate tip as we are chocoholics! We are looking forward to seeing your future content as we love to cruise too 😀 🛳

      Hi, Lisa and Pete! I'm overjoyed that you found me and thank you so much for the very kind and warm message. Haha, right! I chuckled myself when I talked to the sculpture hehe, but he was just too cute to not talk to. I totally hear you about the chocolate. I'm laughing at how funny I am for carrying chocolate around in my pockets just to be used to level my camera haha. Thank you again for the lovely comment, and it's so nice to meet you. You are both so adorable! I will check out your channel as well, and I look forward to seeing/hearing from you again very soon.

    Here goes nothing or something depending on how you look at it.
    * I was starting to think you were on a ghost ship, but I see now there are others.
    * do ships have a 13th floor?
    * I now know you were not in the Navy! 😂 😂
    * That’s the problem with comedians…. they think they’re funny.
    * I never thought about looking at your eyes I just thought you were always happy cause you were smiling. I need to work on my observation skills!
    * 😂😂😂 “hello handsome” did you keep eye contact while saying that?
    * what happens if you eat the chocolate? 😊
    * lots of laughs as always thanks for sharing!!!

      Heeey, Kirk! I'm finally back in front of a normal computer 👏👏 yeay! Now, I can give you my way-too-past-due answers to your questions:
      1. I discovered the quieter spots haha, and I think it means that I was successful if it even briefly appeared to be a ghost ship haha.
      2. No 13th floors. Isn't that so silly?
      3. Haha! Nope, I wouldn't last a day as a spy slash pretend naval personnel.
      4. Comedians: I know, right! This guy literally had no material. He simply just made fun of the audience the entire time. Sheesh.
      5. "Happy Eyes" Hhahhahahhaaaa! Ummm, yeah, silly! There are "happy eyes" and sad eyes. The lips usually mimic the happy/sad of the eyes, but what happens when the lips are just straight? 😐
      6: Eating Chocolate: If I eat some chocolate, then I eat alllll the chocolate!
      7. Aw, you are welcome! More coming soon! Thanks for all of your questions/observations 😊

    You were saying no vegetables and you need them… do they not have a salad bar?!?! Or steamed broccoli or green beans or sliced tomatoes or baked potato or seeet potato?

      @GoMandiMartin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Sandra! It's so nice to have you here 😊. Surprisingly, there wasn't much of a selection of veggies on their own, e.g., not mixed in with meats or heavy sauces. I'll search more diligently next time haha 😁

      Hey, Will. It's been so long that you've probably forgotten that you asked this question hehe, but it definitely felt like just one long cruise -- mostly because I did 2 cruises of two weeks each back to back before, and whoooooo -- that was long, and it felt like two cruises. I was trying to get to as many new countries as possible with this cruise, so lots of ports are the way to go 😁🥇 Have you ever done back to back cruises?

      @@GoMandiMartin No I have not done a back-to-back or a side-to-side. I would not be comfortable asking for that much time off of work.
      I have done 4 cruises total. My next one is this coming Aug.
