St. Martins, one of our favorite islands. Not only does it have lots of shops like St. Thomas, it has one of the best beaches, Orient Beach.
We got off the ship at about 9:30am and immediately took a shuttle for Orient Beach.
We had to use a beach umbrella for Barb because she had sunburn from laying out yesterday.
We talked to a couple that we have met every year from Pontiac, IL and then unexpectedly ran into a neighbor – oh well!!
The sun was great, the food and drinks on the beach were great and we really enjoyed our time on the beach.
We sat next to a younger couple from Maine and shared some laughter about people on the beach.
After the shuttle back to town and the ship, we shopped for a little and only bought Kahula for Barb.
When we got back to the ship, we found an invitation for dinner at the Captain’s Table on Thursday at 6:00pm, which is the second formal night. The invitation came from the Hotel Director who we had met earlier in the cruise. This should be fun and interesting because it is a big deal.
Then it was back to the ship and into the Jacuzzi before getting ready for the show which was held before dinner this time. We really like that timing as we can then go to the casino right after dinner.
The show was ok and then dinner was great.
We had a great blackjack table and Ed had a huge run. Barb played slots and didn’t win anything.
Tomorrow St. Kitts.
Night from somewhere in the water!!
