    Cool Celebrity Summit Southern Caribbean: November 2017

    If anyone is familiar with our trip reports, you know we LOVE the sun and ocean, so what better way to spend the week after Thanksgiving than on a cruise in the Caribbean! I'll write it up in sections focusing on islands/activities, food and beverage, and overall thoughts.
    This cruise is courtesy of Foxwoods, though we did pay to upgrade to AquaClass (it was absolutely worth it, more details to come on that!)
    We were originally scheduled to fly to Puerto Rico on Friday so we could spend a day exploring the island before our cruise departed Saturday evening. Sadly, Mother Nature had other plans and with the devastation Hurricane Maria caused the island, we decided to switch our flight to Saturday.
    Flights were on time and we landed, got our luggage, got a cab, and got to the port and were on the ship within an hour of landing.
    The ship is in need of a remodel (which we heard is happening this year), but was clean, rooms were well appointed, and we were happy.
    We had a balcony room on the 9th floor.
    Our itinerary was port heavy, after a day at sea, it was Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Thomas, and back to San Juan.
    Though we boarded the ship around 2 pm, we didn't set sail until 8:45 pm so it was like 2 full days at sea Saturday and Sunday until we docked at Barbados on Monday. The bed was SUPER comfy and we spent most of the at sea days exploring the bars on the ship, laying in the sun, and eating, lol!
    Barbados, they really do have pink sand beaches! And this sign summed up our trip, hhh!

    We chose to just take a taxi to a beach for the day, the weather was amazing and beach was beautiful, and not crowded! Also, the crystal clear water allowed you to see the fish just swimming around you.

    This is just what i need....some sun and warm water. Looking forward to the next part. It is 16 degrees here and this will help take my mind in a good direction. Have fun and enjoy your cruise and island hopping.

    St. Lucia welcomed us with a rainbow!

    We planned a catamaran and snorkeling excursion at the Pitons. The catamaran ride was about an hour each way, the sun burned off the clouds in the previous picture as soon as we got to the boat and we enjoyed our ride out to the snorkel spot.

    Snorkeling here was very different than anywhere else we've been because it was completely natural, no sunken ships to draw in the fish, but rather natural coral and rock formations from the mountains, it was awesome and the variety of sea life was vast.

    It did drizzle a bit on our drive back to the dock, but that was actually refreshing since it was SO hot there. And, we were greeted back to the ship with a double rainbow! (can't find the picture). We took that as a sign that we would finally visit the ships casino that evening (yes, we were on the ship for 3 days and didn't gamble a penny!).
    The casino was very small but they had a ton of old WMS G+ deluxe games we like so we didn't mind. We actually left up about $100 the first night (yay!)
