Oh noo. Never touch the port monkeys in St. Kitts. And don't hold them or let them sit on you. They carry staph and other communicable diseases. I am not a fan of monkeys anyway. The ones out at Shipwreck Bar are wild, but still no touching or hand feeding. And as a biologist, I am actually more interested in seeing photos of the mongooses. 

When we were at the top of Gibraltar, I was amazed at how many monkeys were all over the place!  No thank you!!!

There is no doubt in my mind, Greg!  I know I will like what you've got!!!

Our daughters, especially my younger daughter, wanted desperately to see the monkeys at the Shipwreck Bar.  We took a walk down the beach from Carambola but no monkeys.  We had a drink and then walked back.  About halfway back, we saw a guy with a monkey.  I love these pictures as they captured pure joy.

 

 

Bob, your daughters are adorable!❤️

I haven’t seen anything but I am keeping all the cruise planners and will look. I’m sure they are offering some specials especially on port days where some of the guests are not leaving the ship.

I'm on that same sailing.  They had to cancel Puerto Plata, DR, because the pier isn't ready.  They replaced that port with Coco Cay, which changed the itinerary / moved port days around such that they weren't going to be able to get to St. Kitts, so they added all day in San Juan. Been to SJ plenty of times, but never on a Royal ship that's there from 10:00-21:00! (This will be the middle of my five-cruise stint, so will be convenient to stop at the drugstore if I need to replenish my inventory of anything.)

I have a photo of a large one on Susan’s shoulder with its hand on top of her head.  
 

For some reason, they didn’t like me and would leap out of my arms.

 

Some would hang off the car window as the guide drove us to the top of Gibraltar.

Relax. If you can't post until after returning home we will all still be here waiting.🙂

 

I'll be on Harmony.

 

But she has the 'good' internet so I can follow along

im not a fan of monkeys and I wouldn’t hold one from the fear of possibly getting their blood on or in me. The monkeys in Africa caused a horrible disease.

Stealing golf balls would be funny, I like monkeys from a distance, they can be funny.

Beautiful pictures today @Sea Dog!  Hope you’re enjoying your vacation &  making memories with making wonderful memories with your family.

Gourgous colour hair, how lucky 

[Sea Dog]

6am so much to do. Last night was incredible more later. Last night I did this. I see if this will upload. It failed so exciting details after I get back. After that taught my son how to play craps. That didn’t last long and then it was off to the Schooner Bar to try something new and then go to the adult comedy show. Very funny guy Jeff Nease. Definitely not a PC kind of guy.

 

Today St. Kitts at Carambola Beach, Chops tonight and the reading the dreaded disembark  instructions.

 

And hey we still have a bottle of champagne in the cooler we need to drink.

Well that is very intriguing. I guess you can tell where my mind is at 8:30 in the morning.😐

It’s  going to be a doggone good day for this Pirate.

So I’m on my 4th pair of water shoes to find the best ones. So they either have no support or just not comfortable.

 

These Keens are really comfortable and great to walk in.

 

 

Unfortunately they fit very snug and in the case of Secret Sands Beach yesterday, little shells and rocks got between my feet and the shoes making it very uncomfortable to walk. I found myself taking the shoes off and emptying all the debris and I was good to go again. Anyone have a perfect water shoe?

I gave up on water shoes and only wear my dive shoes or boots.

Seadog how crowded was the ship was , do you know what the capacity of the ship was on your sailing.

[Maitaivegas]

Got the safe- DD looked at the size of the box and said I had to carry it 🥰

Great news!    As of today and royal's website St Kitts is now off the bubble list.    Anyone fully vaxxed is allowed to book private tours, shop, etc etc.       

This was updated for St Kitts, St Lucia and Barbados.    Antigua was removed from the list the other week, so all is slowly getting back to "normal".   🤩
