So the big question from my last post, did Shades of Bublé wow us? The answer is well sort of. They were very professional, had great voices and were very entertaining. Easily the best set of singers I have seen on a ship and we’ll worth seeing.
Dinner last night was a much more relaxed affair with plenty of laughter as we are all getting to know each other a little better. We are the Celebrity Babies of the table with all the others being Elite members or Elite Plus. Last night was our third night which has now elevated us to Elite but we won’t see the benefits until our next cruise. The 90 minutes free WiFi will be be most welcome!
This morning we arrived at Aruba just before 8:00 which is when we went for breakfast and shortly after that we made our way off the ship and caught a taxi to the beach. The initial plan was to go to Palm Beach but our taxi driver recommended Eagle Beach so we went with his suggestion. That was the Right Move!!!!!
The beach is absolutely amazing and the colours are truly stunning. Added to this we have some huge waves coming in which periodically come over the natural ridge of the beach. We went in earlier in the day but as the day went on the waves got bigger and only the brave and the stupid were going in. We were talking to a lady on the next sun bed who has been coming to this beach for 5 years and she said she has never known waves like it and it was so bad yesterday they evacuated the beach. The best way to describe our day is with the following photos.
We stayed there until just before 3:00 catching a taxi back to the ship which for the record was $13. After a quick shower we popped to the Oceanview Cafe for a spot of tea and then it was back to the cabin to relax for a bit. Relax hear you say???? After spending the day on the beach?
Too true it’s exhausting lying in the sun and watching all the idiots trying to drown themselves!
We don’t sail until 8:00 tonight so there is a chance we may get off again for a wander round the shops but to be honest I don’t need any diamonds or train souvenirs so then again we may not.
Tonight the show is an illusionist and we are in two minds as to go and see him or not.
