Cruisin' the Caribbean!

We just returned from our cruise in the Caribbean. Hero and I have visited many Caribbean islands in past years staying in a resort and thought we would never enjoy a cruise. Now, after having been on three cruises, we love it! It's also a great value for the cost. There is so much to do on the ship, but my favorite is to simply lounge around the pool and relax. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure!

On board and ready to sail!


The rugged beauty that is Aruba!


Hero and I in Aruba.



Aruba's California Lighthouse. So named for the ship, The California, that sunk off the coast of Aruba. Interestingly, The California was the first ship to respond to the distress call of the Titanic.


A mountain in Curacao which is being mined for its sand to make cinder blocks for building purposes. We were told that soon the mountain would be gone.

Picture Pretty Port in St. Thomas


My Hero!



A tiny pilot boat guided us safely out of the port at St. Thomas. Interesting how someting so small can assist something so large!
