Caribbean Cruise

Today, I’m sharing some photographs from the cruise we took just before Valentine’s Day.  I think I mentioned that it was our first cruise and we would love to go on another but I don’t think we will become cruise-aholics like some of the people we met up with.  But then again, maybe we will.  It really is like Summer Camp for adults – better than kids’ camps because you get to choose your activities plus you get to have alcohol – hehe!

There were a number of iguanas on the pier when we disembarked in St Thomas. This is a handsome example of one of them.

  Yes, the water was really that colour – don’t you feel warmer just looking at it?  The temperature outside today is minus 15 C, so I’m having a long look to warm myself up.

As you can imagine, I took hundred of photos so it’s hard to choose which ones to post. I’ve tried to include ones that show the gorgeous colours of the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean.

We laugh when we see this photo. A nice gentleman offered to take our picture together; we weren’t expecting that the photo would be so off-centred and that our legs would be cut off. We’re happy to have the photograph though!

The weather throughout the week was perfect. A bit too hot for us to stay in the sun for very long but we were always able to find shade to cool ourselves off.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here are a couple of Valentine Cards that I made on board the Caribbean Princess!

The materials and colours in the cards are quite different that what I have in my own stash but I didn’t care; I was just so happy that a crafts class was being offered!

The cruise was a first for Bruce and I.which took us to many ports including St Thomas, Tortola, Antigua, St Lucia and Bridgetown in Barbados.  It was a great way to get a taste of the islands.

I have more photographs to share in my next post!
