Caribbean Cruise 2013

Photography by Ruth AND Howard.

We flew to San Juan March 8, stayed overnight with Doug and Trudy, and took a cruise on the Celebrity Summit in the eastern Caribbean. Our cruise ended up back in San Juan March 15. Someone nicknamed the cruise "The All Saints Tour" because of the large number of "Saints" we'd be visiting on this short cruise. Surprisingly, my favorite ports/islands were those visited first: San Juan, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and St. Lucia. Each island was different and charming in its own way.

We stopped at an overlook where I was overjoyed to see a lighthouse (Viegi Point). We also saw it when the ship left port.

I was again amused at the roadside markings used on the island of Antigua.

Another day, another saint: Martin, and Sint Maarten, too - 2 countries in one! Here we're in French St. Martin.
