Those huge shells were amazing. Haven't seen any like that here.
The prices of those Pandora charms, wow, did you or your mum end up getting any? The pink one was pretty, I know you love pink! I don't understand why the prices varied so much. Were any of them rose gold plated?
The ocean is such a beautiful colour. I have noticed how much the ocean changes colour every day pretty much since living so close. I can see it from the front and side of our house. It's truly amazing.
Enjoy your trip ❤

They were amazing! I have a similar one or I would have been tempted...
I wanted that pink Pandora charm soooo bad... it was the one I was looking for! They wouldn't sell it individually and only had it in a "bundle" with two other rose gold plated charms (the 3 part travel dangle and the turtle) for 264. I already have the 3 part travel dangle so I didn't need another one (Mom has it as well) so I passed. It was very disappointing... these were the most expensive island exclusive charms I've seen! Prices were comparable at the Bonaire and Amber Cove Pandora as well! I'm going to do a Pandora Port video for this trip to show just the Pandora stores and charms I did get so that will be out soon.
I love the ocean so anytime I can be on the water I'm happy :)
Thanks!

Do they let you use pandora credit cards when you buy charms from the islands.

[@Happilyeverafteretc]

I don’t think so… my mom has a Pandora card and it only works in the states. It doesn’t translate overseas to Australia or Europe so I doubt it would on the islands either

What was the back onboard time for Aruba?

[@Happilyeverafteretc]

It can change every single trip depending on what dock Carnival is assigned to. We were there on a day with other Carnival ships and we all had different back on board times. You'll want to check your ship the day you're in port.
