Day 1 - San Juan, Puerto Rico: After checking out Bio-Bay the night, we
got up early and headed to the ship. Checked out the ship, casual dinner, and
the Welcome Aboard parade on the promenade. |
 |
Day 2 - At Sea: On our way to Aruba, we spent our first full day at sea.
Got some sun and did the rock climbing wall. Met with some friends we hooked up
with online on Cruise Critic at the Meet and Mingle. First formal night dinner. |
 |
Day 3 - Oranjestad, Aruba: Did a lot of walking around town, as well as
some shopping, of course. Then the rain hit just as we were getting ready for
our snorkeling excursion. The moment we got out on the water, the skies opened
up and it was a hot sunny day again. Snorkeling trip included some swing diving
off the boat. At night we caught the ice skating show. |
 |
Day 4 - Willemstad, Curacao: Next we pulled into Curacao for some more
snorkeling, but this time with bigger fish, including stingrays and sharks Then
some afternoon shopping, including a little bit of rain - nice that it came
after the snorkeling. Kids took advantage of the night life too. |
 |
Day 5 - At Sea: On our way to St. Maarten. Not much in the way of photos
here. Too busy doing the rock wall and enjoying the sun. |
 |
Day 6 - Philipsburg, St. Maarten: Started off the day on Segways. Check
out Steven’s face when he finally realized what we were going to be
riding for our tour along the beach. Then did some shopping, and back to
the boat for some more rock climbing. |
 |
Day 7 - Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas: What a beautiful island!
Our tour included a bus tour to various scenic spots, two hours on the
beach at Magens Bay, and a tour of Blackbeard’s Castle. Later, we headed
back to the ship for some more, you guessed it, rock wall! Perhaps a
little homework later that evening too… |
 |
Return to San Juan: Got back to San Juan and off the ship early
enough Sunday morning to enjoy some sight seeing in Old San Juan,
including Fort San Cristobal – that place is huge! Oh, yeah, and lots of
wind and rain later that evening. Gotta love island weather. |
