Valor:PR, St. Tom, Barbados, St. Kitts, Lucia, Martin

Sapphire Beach was not busy at all. It was very relaxing. There was a small stand were you could rent chairs, umbrellas etc and you could buy a beer there. A lady came along the beach from one of the restaurants at some point, but we didn't eat there.

At this point my camera battery died! I don't think we would go back to Sapphire Beach. I would check out somewhere else next time. We left Sapphire and went to the tram up to Paradise Point. We bought our tickets ahead of time on the ship which saved about $1 each. These are pictures that we bought because my camera was dead. At the top I had the famous Bushwhacker drink and it was delish.

 

 

 

Back on board:

That was a mallorca. It is a common Puerto Rican breakfast. It is a powdered sugared bread with a variety of fillings, such as egg, ham & cheese. I love trying the local foods. We had them at Cafe Mallorca in Old San Juan and also at a place called Pinky's in Condado.

Fun Day at Sea!!!

Our Roll call met up for a slot pull where we each put in $15. It was fun and we each made $1 woo hoo!

 

 

Then it was formal night.

Thanks for doing the review!!!! Love seeing all your pictures!

Ok, so I saw in one of your pics you had one of the Carnival cups that had the "officially the best day ever" on them. Were these hard to find? Where did you get these? I couldn't find them on my last cruise!

Next stop-Barbados! We took a taxi to the Boatyard. $15 each for chairs and a drink. It was a beautiful beach with powder sugar sand and clear blue water.

Great review so far! Thanks. We don't go until March, but it's nice to look ahead! We used to do week-long vacations in Barbados, and I remember Bank's as the only beer available. Nice to see the Carib as well. Oh, heck! Nice to see any beer in hand under the sun and near the sand! Four more months!

Enjoying your review so far! We are trying to choose between this route or the Glory that goes to San Juan, St. Thomas, Grand Turk & Half Moon Cay for February 2015.

Yes these were very common. They are what the drink of the day came in.

Next stop: St. Lucia. This was our favorite. It is a gorgeous, lush island. We booked with mysticmantours.com they picked us up in their catamaran right at the dock, next to the ship.

The Pitons:

 

 

 

We stopped at this beach to snorkel, it's the resort where one of the bachelor episodes was filmed:

 

 

 

 

Then we stopped in Soufriere to pick up our lunch which was huge!

Next we traveled along the shore and we stopped in Marigot Bay to jump in and cool off.
