Just got back from my cruise

[icantbejon]

My wife and I just took a cruise and it was an awesome time. We loved it! A much needed getaway from all the stress around here recently. Our ship was the Navigator of the Seas:

Just took a couple random shots of us from the boat and one excrusion.

This is us enjoying cigars on our balcony the first night, myself with an Oliva V and Jen with her Java Maduro

We also stopped at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, which was a good time. Obviously we got margaritas....

Finally, this is a photo (a terrible one) of Jen and I in the cigar lounge we had on the ship. I was in this joint generally twice a day, but at least once. It was great! We were smashed for this photo, so be kind!

Anyway, just thought I'd throw up some photos of the good time.

You would be correct. Was there a prize for this guess?

Mayday!!!!!!! Jon's gonna have to call on the coast guard for help! HA!

[mrreindeer]

We also stopped at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, which was a good time. Obviously we got margaritas....

Welcome back & glad to hear you had a great time! I can't see pics here unfortunately....was that Margaritaville in Ocho Rios?

[Cigary]

I can see by those huge smiles that you had a mediocre time? You can't beat the balcony on these cruises and wait til you experience a suite,,,you will never be the same again. Glad you had a great time and now you're hooked!

[icantbejon]

Welcome back & glad to hear you had a great time! I can't see pics here unfortunately....was that Margaritaville in Ocho Rios?

No, it was the one in Georgetown in the Cayman Islands. We saw the one in Ocho Rios though. On the whole, we were not blown away with Jamaica so we didn't really explore much.

[acruce]

Awesome, looks like you guys a had a good time.

[icantbejon]

It was seriously a great, relaxing time. I can't recall the last time I enjoyed myself as much. I wouldn't even do the excursions next time. I'd just chill at the beaches and do my own thing when there. It was fantastic.

[Texan in Mexico]

You would be correct. Was there a prize for this guess?

Ha ha ha, I guess nothing. I am driving by there every day, we just opened up a new business here and I drive by that spot a couple times a day.

Glad you had fun - you make a beautiful couple. Where did you pick up your sticks - LCDH?

[icantbejon]

Where did you pick up your sticks - LCDH?

No, unfortunately I wasn't able to find LCDH. I had heard to go there, but I didn't know where to look. I found one called Blackbeards, right next to Margaritaville. Ever stopped in there? Did I get scammed?

[Texan in Mexico]

No, unfortunately I wasn't able to find LCDH. I had heard to go there, but I didn't know where to look. I found one called Blackbeards, right next to Margaritaville. Ever stopped in there? Did I get scammed?

I have been into Blackbeard's and another called Churchill´s before. I wouldn´t say scammed, smoke them and if you enjoy then they are probably okay. At the LCDH they are very well kept and 100% Cuban.

I will swing by tomorrow and double check Blackbeard's for you tomorrow.

The LCDH is between the North and South tender docks on the opposite side of the street. They have a sandwich board sign in front and a couple short wooden Indians.

I believe its the nicest in the Caribbean but thats just my opinion.

[Texan in Mexico]

I forgot to get back to you, my apologies. I got back home just a couple days ago.

I do not think you were "scammed" at Blackbeard's...

They do carry CC's, they actually get them from the same distributor as LCDH but they also have a variety of NC's and cigars made right there in the shop with "Caribbean Leaf".

I do not think they take the same care as the good folks at LCDH. If you go again - standing in front of Margaritaville with the sea to your back, you walk to your right 1.5 blocks to get to the LCDH.

Incredible group of people, knowledgable and friendly.
