Old San Juan

It was hot and humid. There were cats roaming the streets (one with its own Face Book page) and a delightful little cafe serving some really good Mexican food was found!

Cruise Review - Port of Call - Barbados

The final port of call for the Celebrity Summit 7 night Southern Caribbean cruise was Barbados.

First we headed into town to see the island often referred to as 'Little Britain'.

Next we did the Tiami Catamaran swim with the turtles excursion booked through Celebrity.




The police following us out of the harbor. Why? I have no idea, but it was cool!

Turtle time!
















The next stop was Sandy Bay for a chance to swim or walk the beach. Apparently this is the super posh resort where Tiger married Elan.

Cruise Review - Port of Call - St. Lucia

The fourth port of call on the Celebrity Summit 7 Night Southern Caribbean cruise was St. Lucia. This island was our favorite of all the ports of call. It was the prettiest and was the most relaxed/laid back of all of our experiences.

Through Celebrity we booked the Catamaran Coastal Cruise to the Pitons as our excursion. It was a nice size boat with bathrooms. There was a cover that provided shade and there were plenty of seats in the sun as well.

After cruising down the coast from Castries towards the Pitons there was a 30 minute break for swimming. After the swimming the light snacks and alcohol were provided. The Pitons are absolutely breathtaking and I highly recommend seeing them any way possible.

The return trip home turned into a booze cruise. Loud music and crazy dancing was the norm.

Check out the airstrip and the plane landing/taking off. Yikes!

Marigot Bay - Posh!!!!





















Swim break.








During the swim break about 5 of these people swam up to the boat in canoes selling their wares! They even claim to take American Express!

Finally! The Pitons.



Back on the Celebrity Summit and leaving St. Lucia.
