November 30,2023 Serenity (Official Sea Day) We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony, then moved inside when the sun became too strong. We did not have a second breakfast because we were anticipating an afternoon of dining delight. We participated in a Vintage Room lunch and lecture led by head Sommelier Jiri Kapal. Our last Vintage...

November 29, 2023 Serenity I love sea days so much, that I greeted our first sea day on this second leg with keen anticipation. It did not disappoint. With the entire day stretching before us, we slept in and after enjoying our coffee and pastries, we read our news feeds and worked on our puzzles....

November 28,2023 Marigot St. Martin Is that alliteration necessary? Please read this post and let me know. When we visited Marigot last week, I bought a few things, and once back onboard Serenity, I immediately regretted not purchasing a specific pair of linen pants. So…upon our return to St. Martin, I took the opportunity to...

November 27,2023 Martinique Crystal Serenity Once again we had two breakfasts, pastries on our balcony, then eggs and cappuccino up in the Trident Grill. After a long leisurely breakfast chatting with new friends, we returned to our suite to ready ourselves for our afternoon shore excursion. We enjoyed sunshine in the morning, but then clouds...

November 26,2023 Bridgetown, Barbados We were up early for a ship sponsored excursion…a two site snorkel and then time on a beach in Carlisle Bay. We boarded the boat from the water…oh my goodness! When I realized that Timmy would have to walk across the sand and board a moving boat, I slightly freaked out....

November 25,2023 Castries, St. Lucia We awoke as we were sailing into St. Lucia. We had a most delightful day aboard the Fish Tank with Captain Howard and Tony. According to Howard, the Pitons are a World Heritage site – formed by volcanos and include a geothermal field and hot springs. Howard is a wealth...

November 24,2023 St. Kitts We finally had a chance to get off the big ship and get into a smaller ship to sail and snorkel. In my opinion, it’s the best way to spend the American Holiday known as Black Friday. It’s been more than twenty years since I’ve been inside a mall (or any...

November 23,2023 San Juan Turn around day for our second leg of this cruise fell on Thanksgiving day. I suspect the itinerary dates were set by folks in Europe…because I can’t imagine that an American thought it would be a good thing to start and end a cruise on Thanksgiving. Whatever. We walked off the...

November 22,2023 St. Martin, French West Indies We are trying to remember the last time we visited St. Martin. We think it was 2007 or 2008…we rented a one bedroom condo, in January, for one week.…it was a colleague’s time share, on the Dutch side … not a very memorable property…small beach…”Mountain” view. However, it...

November 21,2023 Serenity Road Town, BVI Our snorkeling excursion was canceled…perhaps because of the iffy weather. As it turned out, it sprinkled on and off…with an occasional downpour all day long. No worries! I turned the lemons into a Lemon Drop Martini, and headed to the Spa. The new spa on Serenity is truly beautiful...
