Tony and I had a great getaway on our cruise at the beginning of the month. We sailed on the Celebrity Solstice which is a new very modern ship... and it was absolutely fantastic! It there were only one complaint it would be that this is a cruise for older people.
The ship left from Fort Lauderdale where we had a day to visit. It is an american version of Venice. So beautiful...but HOT!!
We sailed to San Jaun, to St. Thomas, to St. Martin. Our favourite port was St. Martin. We just loved it there. We rented a jeep with another couple and toured the island. The downtown shopping area was really nice and it was along the beach. There were great little places to stop and have a drink. We then went to the airport. It is the coolest airport ever. We had heard about it from a neighbour who is a pilot. The plane actually flies a few feet over your head on the beach and then lands.
We drove to the french side to have lunch and found a french bakery. It was delicious. We ended our tour at the Orient Beach (nude) and it was beautiful. A fantastic day!
In St. Thomas we rented a jeep as well. The roads are really narrow and you drive on the left hand side of the road. This island certainly isn't kept as well as St. Martin. It does however have on of the top 10 beaches in the world "Meghan's Bay" which is absolutely beautiful!
We made some great friends on the cruise and we hope to keep in contact with them and visit soon.
I loved San Juan as well. The buildings were beautiful and I had a lot of fun shopping1
