The view or two from my "office"

Basseterre (St Kitts), St Kitts and Nevis.

I chose the shore excursion on the sugar cane rail. It went mainly along the coast, with gorgeous views. As on every other island, they made the “best” rum! These two dancers entertained us along the way. Later on in the cruise we had a whole amateur troupe come aboard the ship to entertain us in the theatre. It was lovely watching the two smallest kids learning the ropes of performing.

This “Caribbean” cruise was more interesting than the standard cruises out of Florida, notwithstanding the beautiful islands and scenery, With the variety of independent, Commonwealth and French islands, cars were driving on the left side of the road one day and on the right hand side the next. We had to take care crossing roads. 😆. Mostly Silver Ray was the only ship in port, although the Ritz-Carlton ship dropped anchor near us in Soufriere. In two of the bigger ports there was one ofThe Virgin ships, a huge Costa ship, and one of the Oceania ships. Made us appreciate the smaller ship and fewer guests so much more!
 
The first cruise segment ended in Fort Lauderdale. I took a tour to the Everglades while the ship prepared for new guests. The airboat ride is always a bit of fun, particularly watching the beautiful blue herons flying about (not photographed).
