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.

A little plane comes in. At 2:15 we had to head back to the port, as there were 5 (ouch!) ships in town & traffic was heavy.

We stopped at Beacon Point (mostly just shopping) & then this viewpoint. Shopping here is over-rated, but beauty is NOT.
