January 8 St. George, Grenada

Georgetown, Granada from our ship

There are 930 guests on board (and 400 plus staff). 450 are going on the full world cruise; 360 disembark in Buenos Aires. I gather we are full for each of the 5 legs but there will be coming and going. 71 of us went on last year’s world cruise and Viking has a 245 day (!) world cruise beginning in August.

Grenada is a pretty volcanic island with lots of hills. The guides expressed thanks to the US for the 1983 invasion; I was surprised. Our excursion was simply a bus ride around the area with a stop for rum punch. Others did snorkeling around the underwater sculpture garden, which is gradually turning into a coral reef, or a tour of a rum distillery.

  1. Food so far tasty with generous servings. Lamb and beef tender and very well prepared medium rare; sauces highly variable and in one specialty restaurant, simply thick and tasteless. Our fare includes all ****wine and liquor selections, but so far I’ve found the available range limited to “standard” vintages from US and EU; for example, very few Argentinian. NZ or AUS varieties. We eat mostly at the upper deck “World Café”, which features cafeteria style service, always hot; and outside as often as possible.
