Serenade of the Seas and the Pitons

For those wondering, I was before my cruise, the SOTS does go by the Pitans before leaving St. Lucia. If your tour didn't go there, you will be able to get pictures when the ship cruises by.

On the Jan 10/09 cruise, after Serenade left the St. Lucia dock at 5:00 p.m., she cruised down the coast of St. Lucia on the way to Barbados, and we could see the Pitons in the distance. However, the light was failing (sunset was at 5:55), and the scenery was shrouded in darkness shortly thereafter (dusk is short in the tropics).

 

Sunset is now about 6:10 p.m., so the Pitons should be visible for a bit longer, but still will be lost in darkness by the time the first course is served at the early seating.

When the Serenade was there on February 4th, the ship went south out of Castries and provided a great view of the Pitons. The crew said they had also done this on the previous cruise

Just wondering if the Carnival Victory does this too? If so I'm thinking drinks on the balcony :p
