We headed from Bayonne, New Jersey to Labadee, Haiti, a beach which Royal Caribbean owns and Moiya and Dave beat us there last November. Here is a view from the beach back out to the ship, “The Explorer of the Seas”.
Then from Labadee to Samana, Dominican Republic and on to St. Thomas, a truly American island. Here you can see a storm over the hill with a rainbow promising the end to the rain. Yachts, ships and sailboats all filling the harbour with their splendor. We have seen truly remarkable beaches and the sea water has so many different brilliant colors of blues and greens. I am amazed every day seeing something new.
Two ships in the harbor at St. Kitts. Which one is the right ship? When we were at St. Martins, Philipsburg we saw four ships in the harbor. Greg figured out that there was a possibility of 11,000 tourists in there if all the ships were full. It just does not feel like there are that many people around. The Explorer of the Seas, which we are on this cruise has a promenade or mall in the center of it. The bigger the ship, the more places to go.
The Explorer also has a skating rink on it. We attended one show twice. I thought it was spectacular. This was one of Greg's favorite parts of the cruise and we nearly never went to the ice show. Trent thinks that having a skating rink on the ship is a measure of true opulence.
I cannot single out one thing that I like better than another. I just love it all. I hope that we go on so many cruises this year that I get sick of them.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 12 I wanted to be a skater in the Ice Capades. Now I wish I had taken that path. What a way of life!
Did you do much dancing in the evenings after all of that pre-trip practise?

Yes, we danced whenever we could. There were four different musical groups playing at any time on the ship plus the DJ room. After 5 p.m. in the evening, there is always a place to dance. We also went to all the dance classes that were held after 10:30 a.m.
