They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We took 368 pictures over the course of ten days. I'll let a select few of them do the talking.

San Juan, PR: Beautiful. Among other things, we took a walk on the beach and had an amazing cheese pizza.

Aruba: We took a five hour ATV excursion around the island. We were shocked at both the natural beauty and the blatant disrespect that people have for the island. Awesome day, aside from the trash.

Curacao: The Curacao Sea Aquarium was amazing. We went scuba diving with sting rays and got to feed enormous sea turtles (think, the size of a kitchen table) and sharks (we were seperate from the turtles and sharks by fence). Totally awesome and unique experience! :)


St. Maarten: WARNING! NUDITY! We took an island tour that made a half hour stop at Orient Bay Beach...clothing optional. We opted to keep ours on, but as you can see below, others did not. The majority of the naked people were old and modesty certainly is not an issue for these people...think spread eagle on a beach chair. Haunting.

St. Thomas: We spent the morning at Magens Bay, one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world. We got there about nine am, and practically had the beach to ourselves for the first hour and a half!



And of course, the food, the service, and the fun towel animals they leave in your room every night!




We ended up sick towards the end of our trip - a yucky flu virus spread around the ship like wildfire. We made the best of it, though. We ended up taking two sick days, so today was our first day back in the office. We aren't 100% yet, but close. :)
Overall, we had an amazing time and we're already thinking about where our next trip should be to! :)

Looks like a great trip!
