Last Day at Sea

Our last day on the ship was a day at sea. We played a little bingo, tried to win a free cruise. Visited with my Aunts and had a relaxing day. At dinner the waiters/waitresses sang us a song. Here is a clip of it.




And last but not least was our final creature a seal.

Antigua

Our next stop was Antigua. These were taken from our balcony.



We just had a relaxing day going through some of the shops on port, being in the sun and enjoying the great weather.

Our waiters and waitresses sang and danced for us at dinner.




After dinner we found a snake in our room waiting for us.

St Lucia

Our next stop was St. Lucia were we went on a zip line tour of the rain forest. I did not take the camera with us, and I’m regretting that now. It was GREAT flying through the trees feeling like a bird.

I also forgot to take pictures from our balcony due to the early departure for the zip lining.

When we got back to the ship we found out that the pyramid near the ship was a schoolhouse. I had to get some pictures of it.



We were lucky that the children were at lunch so we also got to go inside and take some pictures.


We had a great vantage point to view a ship that was used on the movie Pirates of the Caribbean when it came into port.


Our entertainment at dinner was the Destiny’s Back Street Boys.




This was also a formal dinner and we had some more pictures taken.





Upon arriving back at our room we found a rabbit.

Barbados

When we arrived at Barbados it was raining. Here is what we saw from our balcony.




The three stacks with ramps going to them are sugar bins. They still export sugar from here.

We took an excursion with a sub to the reefs 150 feet under the ocean. The pictures are not as clear as seeing it first hand but they can give you an idea of what we saw.






After we got back to the ship we had a light lunch and rested and then got ready for dinner.

At dinner part of the entertainment was a conga line.


When we arrived back at the room we found a Stingray.

Dominica

Our next port to stop at was Dominica.

This is the view from our balcony.





We ate breakfast in the Universe Dining Room and then went on shore.Just as we left the ship we had the opportunity to hear some of the local music played by this musician.


We signed up for an excursion with the Wacky Rollers. We took a ride in an open Humve through the rain forest.

This was our tour guide for the trip. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I am sorry that I did not catch his name.
The view of Dominica has we were going into the rainforest.


The Banyan Tree was very interesting.


Coffee trees were numerious.


There were many creeks on our way through the rainforest.







We also were taken to a sulfur spring, which was boiling up from the ground.




The landscape was very green.



This tree was a poor mans cinnamon tree.



At Ti Tou Gorge there was a hot waterfall.



We had a great time in Dominica. Once we got back to the ship we had a light lunch, rested awhile. I even went up to the Lido deck and laid out in the sun. and then got ready for one of the formal dinners.

After dinner we had some photos taken of us.




And we had one taken of us with Aunt Elaine and Aunt Esther.


Upon returning to our room we found an elephant.
