Love that dinner!!
Looks like y'all are having a great time ...Enjoy ! ...thanks for sharing
I’m so glad to see you having such a great time! Well deserved. Your photos are making me miss that ship. We really did have a fantastic cruise with Princess. I’m booked for a 7 day in February and can’t wait. My husband threw a fit when I booked out last one which was 10 days. He thought he would be miserable and hate it, but he absolutely loved the cruise. So now we plan on going at least once every year and with V/P handing out 2-3 15 day free cruises a year....I say why the hell not???? Thanks so much for sharing and getting my anticipation up for our next cruise.
Yikes, I’m falling behind. Will try to get a quick post off before we leave the island today.
Yesterday was Martinique & I loved it! The history is amazing and the mixture of French and Caribbean flavor makes it unique in our experience. We took a tour with Thomas and he was ooh la la.
I forget the name of this church but it’s an exact replica of a famous one in France but 1/5 the size.
Can’t seem to upload pictures. Will try again later.
Still having a blast but carbs have been sneaking in to our diet HHH

Just catching up and all I can say is WOW! The pics of all of the ports and meals have been stunning. I love to see that smile, so I know you are having a ball.

I LOVE THIS REPORT!!!! You are making me so anxious for our cruise later this month! The Italian dinner looked amazing, as did the smoked duck breast. I always order duck on cruises and am usually disappointed because it tends to be some overcooked mess, but that looked delicious and not overdone in sauce, yay! Thanks for all the water/snorkel updates too, I'm excited to feel the sun and warm water again!

Thanks to everyone that followed along. The internet was acting up so I couldn't continue the report on the ship, and yesterday I was running around doing errands and crap. But I'll try to wrap it up now.
I will continue with Martinique, which was my favorite island. The church in the previous photo was called Sacre Couer and is a replica of the one in Paris. It was lovely.
OK, back to Tapatalk since the main site wants to post my picture sideways. We continued our tour in Martinique with a beautiful botanical garden another rum distillery, and the ruins of mount Pelee.
The peak of the volcano was obscured all day by the clouds but it was still pretty impressive. When this volcano erupted , instead of the typical lava spewing from the top, it completely exploded killing 28,000 people in two minutes. Even people in the harbor on ships died from the gases. The only survivor was a drunk that have been thrown in jail the night before. Saint Pierre, the capital, was completely destroyed. It really is an amazing story.
A church stood here prior to the Eruption.
This is what remains of a beautiful theater.
DePaz rum is damn good.
Then we went to a black sand beach where I swam
And had a yummy local beer.
By then it was time to return to the ship where I had to say Au revoir to the charming Thomas.

The next day we stopped in Saint Thomas. FRAnk went out and took a tour of the hurricane damage but I remained onboard. I’m really not sure where the day went but it was nice and relaxing. This time I have made good friends with a crazy group of smokers, and we spent hours just laughing and Sharon stupid stories. Considering the average age of the princess passenger, I was lucky to find this band of misfits that ranged everywhere from a 26-year-old drag queen With his somewhat older pilot husband,to a pair of thirtysomething stoner newlyweds to A handful of Random folks from all over the country. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
Here are a few views from the ship and apparently I took some food porn.
As you get close so you could see many many blue tarps were roofs are still gone and FRAnk said there were powerlines down everywhere with people still needing power food and water. It was sad.
This beautiful hotel suffered severe damage.
Delicious chicken of some

The next day was a sea day, And other than making one final donation to the casino, I have no idea what I did. I just knew I liked it.
Our last day was spent at Princess Cay, their private island. The day started out pretty ominous, with dark clouds and showers but we got our asses on a tender by 8 AM and settled into a clamshell shortly there after. It was a good thing because the rain came down and I took a lovely nap :-)
Eventually the rain stopped, the Winds calmed a bit and it turned out to be a beautiful day. I alternated between lounging in the sun, lounging in the shade, and floating in my Aqua chair.
FRAnk had a lovely sail.
Although not the best of the private islands I’ve been to, it was quite lovely and I would not hesitate to return.
Nice beach bar
After this beautiful last day in paradise, it was back to the ship to pack up and get ready to return to reality. We went to the dining room for one last dinner, and I went for the turkey which was a pretty good carb failure but I couldn’t resist
ADELIN, our server, took excellent care of us, Putting up with my ridiculous requests and incessant questions with a lovely smile on his face. I wish I could’ve put him in my suitcase.
After dinner, I still had one full bottle of wine I had to knock off so up to the smoking deco I went For a final night of Raucous laughter and inappropriate conversation. We popped down to karaoke for a final listen to the tone deaf and vocally challenged regulars and after final nightcap and hugs all around, it was off to bed.
Next morning we were up at 6:30, at the airport by nine and on our on time flight at 11:50. After a short stop at Baltimore, we made it to Manchester around five and picked up the pups and got home about 630. Absolutely no travel delays woo hoo!
