"Goodbye, Jamaica!" From on top of the boat.
"Goodbye!" from the other side of the boat. I never did really retain the difference between 'port' and 'starboard' even though Jim must have explained it a thousand times. I have decided that I would not make a good sailor.
Wind. It made things interesting.
This is the main promenade inside the boat. It was like a mini mall with many shops and a handful of eating establishments. But, overall, it seemed to be mostly about jewelry and liquor. Jewelry stores, in particular, were the most popular kind of tourist store both on and off the boat. No matter where we were in the Caribbean, when we just wanted to buy some sunscreen or water somewhere at a little grocery store, all we could find were diamonds and flashy gold watches... Apparently, jewelry was "duty-free", and this is another term I'm still unsure about.
After Jamaica, we tethered in Grand Cayman. Yes, we ventured off the boat (by ferry) to do a little souvenir shopping even though we originally thought we might never get off the boat again.
In Cozumel, we decided to go on a snorkeling excursion. Here, on the left is the back of our boat, "Freedom of the Seas." On the right, is the front of "Voyager of the Seas."
Grand Cayman - pier view. No touch-ups to this photo. I've been asked. The water is just THAT blue.
The line up of our catamarans. We snorkeled and enjoyed some beach time.
"Happy TEN years of you, dear!"
Yes, the water IS that blue! And I LOVED my souvenirs! Yay for good endings to the anniversary cruise!
