Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1352 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Good morning from St Maarten... We've only got a short day here, so I got to get moving. It's weird how eight hours at work seems to last FOREVER, but eight hours on vacation goes by LIKE THAT... 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She NEVER stopped talking, to the poor stranger next to her. That's when I make a big production of taking off my cochlear implant processor🤐 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNVolnteerCruiser Posted December 8, 2022 #1357 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I have to say, I’ve read lots of trip reports but none have made me say, “this ship is amazing and I need to sail on it.” The trip reports for Celebration have definitely made me think I need to book it. Off to look at the sailings for Celebration. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted December 8, 2022 #1358 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Take the water taxi to the boardwalk and look for Miguels!!! Beach , food and booze. Can't miss and saves all the traffic headaches heading out . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it’s the texture or what. It's definitely the texture! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National Park Service assisted the few residents of La Perla with tarps soon afterwards~wiki 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1373 Share Posted December 8, 2022 "Stranger in a strange land..." Wow, what a whirlwind of a day in St Maarten... I packed up everything that I thought I'd need and headed out around 8:30 ship time. We had to be back by 3:30, so I couldn't do everything, but there were a few things I HAD to check off my list, and I accomplished all of them. Easily the best day of my vacation so far, other than Miami... Once I dinged off the ship I just followed the path that led to the water taxi. Seven dollars round trip, or I suppose with the wristband you could go back and forth all day. We landed at the far end of Great Bay in Phillipsburg. There's a long boardwalk and lots of bars and shops along the way. At first I just wanted to get the lay of the land... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1375 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Alright, now we're at the boardwalk... I had no idea what was where, so I just went one way then the other. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
