I have been to Grenada a couple of times, most recently in 2024<\/a> during our first cruise on the Conquest<\/em>. This is one of my favorite Caribbean islands, but this time we didn’t see the harbor or climb the hills for the spectacular vistas, two of the things that I like about this place. Instead, we shopped, pretty much until I dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t like to shop, even on one of my favorite islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were back on board by 3pm and I then spent some time blogging, followed by a nap before dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner had a Chinese\/Japanese theme. I had some California rolls for an appetizer and kung pao chicken for an entree. The California rolls were excellent; the kung pao was terrible – dry and bland. Fortunately, we had also ordered a BBQ steak dish that was quite good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw the comedia show after dinner, featuring Percy Crews II<\/a>. Pretty raw. Pretty funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continued to lose in the casino. I have, in one week, reached the limit that I set for a “reasonable” amount of money to lose on the 14-day cruise. I need to be careful for the rest of the trip. This casino is being very tight. I lost nearly $200 today, with nary a bonus to show for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also continued to lose badly to Marlene at knock rummy. She won all 3 games we played today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
