Day 11 (Nov 26th): San Juan, Puerto Rico
We had a reasonable disembarkation time of 8:15am, so I woke up at 7, which is not earlier than during the cruise, to get ready. The flight was at 2:20pm, so we anticipated spending 4 hours at th...
Day 10 (Nov 25th): Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
This was the last full day of our cruise, and there was rain forecasted in the afternoon, so we decided to stay in after one excursion and take the whole afternoon to pack. The morning excursion...
Day 9 (Nov 24th): Phillipsburg, St. Martin
This morning we went on an “organised” tour at Sentry Hill. It has a zip line, called the “Flying Dutchman”, which sends you from a hilltop - highest point in the island - down to the port. You g...
Day 8 (Nov 23rd): St John’s, Antigua
We went with the included tour for today because we read great reviews about it. The tour did not disappoint. It took us to Blockhouse Fort, which has a nice view of the island, and then to Shirl...
Day 7 (Nov 22nd): Rosseau, Dominica
This is the 7th day of our cruise, and we have turned back north and west. We decided to skip the bus tour we’d booked in the morning because we are lazy and it also didn’t sound that interesting...
Day 6 (Nov 21st): Bridgetown, Barbados
We spent the morning doing the most touristy thing possible: we went to the CopaCabana beach at Carlisle bay. It was a nice and relaxing beach morning; what vacations normally are. Just lounged o...
Day 5 (Nov 20th): Castries, St. Lucia
We didn’t spend any time in Castries itself because we went on an all-day excursion to Soufriere bay. We were in a group of about 60 (including the onboard cellist, who now acted as the escort). ...
Day 4 (Nov 19): Basseterre, St. Kitts
Our excursion today was at a more reasonable hour of 8:15am, so I got to wake up at 7am to get some light breakfast before heading out. The excursion itself was very sedentary; we rode on a catam...
Day 3 (Nov 18) Road Town, Tortola
I woke up early this morning at 6:30am to get some breakfast before our 7:30am excursion to Virgin Gorda. The first thing I noticed about Road Town is the group of Frigate bird and pelicans aroun...
Day 2 (Nov 17) San Juan, Puerto Rico
I was still having some stomach issues in the morning, so had a light breakfast. But we slept very well. La Professeure secured a walking tour of Old San Juan for us in the afternoon, so we had t...
Day 1 (Nov 16th) New York
When my in-laws arrived on the Sunday before, I was already half-packed, partly because I wanted to clear out some closet space for them. By Monday night, I had already packed my checked luggage,...
