This was certainly not our typical type of trip, but this Caribbean cruise couldn't have come at a better time for us and provided just what we needed....a little break from the realities of life. After all is said and done, our little motto "Life is good" still rings very true.
All in all, we travelled a distance of 4,150km round trip from Port Everglades to Princess Cays, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Grand Turk and back. The waters were calm and the weather absolutely perfect. How blessed we are to have experienced such a fantastic trip! The sheer beauty of the islands and more particularly the beaches we visited is so hard to accurately describe in words. Each stop provided us with an opportunity to experience a true tropical paradise!
I've wanted to travel to St. Maarten and Turks & Caicos for some time now and as an added bonus I also got to see St. Thomas and an island in the Bahamas. Taking in the sun and relaxing on a beach was our ultimate goal and each of the beaches provided this. The fine white sand, clear and turquoise water were perfect and such a beautiful sight! Exploring the islands in the limited time we had gave us a brief experience with the culture, the sights and gave us a sense of whether we might want to return some day for a longer time.
The cruise ship itself was great. It was clean, modern and full of different things to do. The food was all very tasty and there was plenty to go around. A few of my favourite things we did on board was movies under the stars, taking in the shows, and sitting on our balcony reading or just staring out at the open waters.
As we get back to real life, the memories of this trip will last a lifetime. More importantly I got to share this experience with my best friend, Z and that makes it that much more special.
Where we'll end up next is anyone's guess, but these globe trotters won't sit still for long, there's an entire world out there waiting to be explored. Until next time....
