Sick on a Cruise - The One Where We Miss A Day In Curação

Unfortunately I woke up in the middle of the night after our day in Aruba cruise port, and was pretty ill.
I'm looking at you, pork chop. -.-

I opted to sleep it off and we decided not to get off on Curacao during this cruise. Fortunately, we had been here before in the past, but it was still really disappointing, needless-to-say. 

Eventually we made it up to the Windjammer buffet for lunch and I snapped this pic of Willemstad through the glass.

Willemstad, Curacao Cruise Port

Shockingly, the only food item we took a picture of was this tasty little mini pastry filled with chocolate!

We then took the opportunity to enjoy some of the features of the ship we hadn't yet. We rode the carousel together in the Boardwalk Neighborhood. 

And I screamed more than I needed to going down the Ultimate Abyss slide.

I came out the other end laughing and I would do it again, for sure. Do it people!
​
Never in my life have I tried rock climbing and I'm not sure how I would do, but I really wanted to try climbing this rock wall on a cruise ship!

That's still on my to-do list. I wasn't quite up for it yet. :)
​
But I was up for exploring the staircase art before dinner!

Sorrentos Pizza Menu

Despite a hearty dinner, an evening show tends to work up an appetite. It's almost as if YOU were the one pulling those dance moves or walking the tightrope. Naturally you want a late night slice of pizza.

So we headed over to Sorrento's Pizza in the Royal Promenade.
​

Sorrento's Pizza Menu

The menu can vary from day to day and I do believe you can always request a gluten free pizza at Sorrento's on Royal Caribbean. 8)

​"Extra virgin olive oil, garlic, mozzarella, spinach, tomatoes, grilled banana peppers, roasted red peppers, and feta cheese"

Not bad, Royal Caribbean, not bad. 

With that it was time for a little in-room laundry session and to bed to rest up for a fun filled sea day onboard Symphony of the Seas!
