We were supposed to stop in Trinidad and Tobago, but the captain came on the intercom in our rooms around 3pm and told us that we couldn’t stop there due to the weather. We were very disappointed because we had a tour that included bird watching in the rain forest. Instead, we spent the day keeping busy and packing. It was relaxing. We arrived in Barbados … Continue reading Barbados
We bought a tour from shore excursions. We met the guide inside the mall. There were nine people on our island spice tour. The tiny bus that we boarded was parked in the super busy lot near the terminal. It took us about ten minutes to get out of our parking space. It was crazy. I was so happy that I didn’t have to drive there. We drove through the … Continue reading Grenada
Our ship anchored out off the town of St. Pierre in Martinique. We had booked an excursion through a company on shore, but they were located on another area of the island. Then we booked a tour with the ship and it was canceled so we decided to do a walking tour on our own. We took the tender to the dock and were surprised at how … Continue reading Martinique
We are currently on an Azamara cruise to some of the smaller islands in the Caribbean. We boarded the ship in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our first island stop was at St. Thomas. Since we have been to St. Thomas many times (we even got married there), we just wandered around Havensight, ate lunch at our favorite fast food spot, Tap and Still, and met up with … Continue reading Antigua

We arrived right at opening time and bought a combination ticket so we could also view the Japanese gardens and the panoramic view. The Museo Castillo Serrales was built by the Serrales family in the 1930s. The couple who … Continue reading Puerto Rico: Ponce
This island has a totally different vibe than Aruba and you can feel it the moment you walk off the ship. Just like every other port, there is a small group of shops right after getting off the ship. We had to walk a couple of blocks to get our rental car. The buildings are well maintained and it feels newer, buildings were cleaner and neater. Our … Continue reading Bonaire
We are on a Carnival cruise to the ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) Islands. I would rather not focus on the cruise side of this trip. Honestly, Carnival is not my favorite cruise line for a variety of reasons. However, you should know that if you take a cruise to these islands, there are going to be FOUR sea days. Two to get there and two to get back. This … Continue reading Aruba
