Can't believe this is already our last port and unfortunately this is also the shortest stop. The ship docked at 7 and we had an excursion booked through the cruise line for this port because the ship is leaving at 1pm!! That's just not long enough to go exploring on our own and I particularly wanted to go to Virgin Gorda to The Baths. Of course I heard of this through reading extensive reviews on both Trip Advisor and Cruise Critic and also looking at G...

Today is St Thomas day.... we were here 2 years ago with Heather and Tim and had a fantastic time so I knew we were in for a great day.As we did last time I had hired a car from Avis, at Havensight, unfortunately it didn't even occur to me that our ship wouldn't be docking there like last time!! Instead we anchored in the bay and were tendered into downtown Charlotte Amalie. The tendering process was very slow, we were on deck at 7.30 am to pick up tender...

Yay, first Port today.

First we headed left off the dock to the number 14 Trolley stop. I had read in my research that most people head...

No time to mope though because as always port mornings are busy, jump up, get dressed and packed for the day, breakfast done and some photos from the decks as we come into port. We met Heather and Tim in the Atrium again as they are spending the day with u...

Another glorious day another gorgeous Caribbean Island to explore... as always on port days we're up and organised nice and early, breakfast was once again in the main dining room. We knocked on Heather and Tims door on the way to breakfast to tell them we'd meet them in the atrium at 8.30 as we were shouting them the tour today. Heather was somewhat seedy and I'm sure if I'd given her a chance would have gone back to bed but we'd already paid...
