On board with WhatNot and FPebbles and our DHs. We have Capt Lund (who apparently switched with Capt Remi), Christophe (lucky us!), Gareth, Brenda, Christian (sommelier); Tomaslav (MD); Brian, Leslie, Eugene are some of the waiters; Danny, Marko, and Francisco (Head Barman). Lots of familiar faces!

 

Boarded yesterday in Barbados -- bit of motion in the ocean last night! Today in Martinque is lovely -- did a tour that saw the home or at least the location of Empress Josephine's youth and a rum distillery. The island is lovely -- very lush and very clean. When we were here a couple of years ago, the swells were too bad in La Marin so we went to a tiny town where there wasn't much to see. Today was much better! And for those who keep track of such things -- mussels for lunch!

Vandrefalk, sounds like a great start to another fun SD adventure! Please give our best to everyone, including the crew (a few of whom might still remember us) and of course, Christophe. Looking forward to reading more about your adventures since this was one of our favorite cruises on SD.

Vanderfalk,

Say "Hi" to all the Fabulous crew members that you mentioned. We were with them 2 weeks ago and they are the BEST. They certainly make the cruise what it is! And of course they are why we return every year. Hope you have smooth sailings and wonderful memories.

Well, sorry not to report sooner -- relaxing is hard work! Cruise has been delightful -- weather has been great, except for the sudden and quite strong storm we had the other night while we were dining topside! The crew, as always, made immediate adjustments to protect us, although some folks did have to go change! Dessert extravaganza was moved inside in record time and was lovely -- the current pastry chef is very, very good.

 

Did the tour in Bequia -- lovely views and a great treat to see the turtle sanctuary. Lunch (lobster pizza) at Mac's was as good as its reputation. Yesterday was Canouan and Union Islands -- went ashore briefly on Union -- wet landing and like walking on quicksand.

Today we are at Tobago Cays but am staying on board. Tomorrow is the splash at Mayreaux and then they will make us get off in Barbados on Saturday.

 

Marko is leaving next week and several others will be going on vacation soon. Will post a longer review - and maybe others will join in -- upon our return!
