Photos from Beverly's Caribbean Cruise

Here are a few photos from Beverly's May 2005 cruise with Greg's two sisters and his mom.  They sailed from San Juan to St. Thomas to Dominica to Barbados to St. Maarten and back to San Juan.  Their second-to-last stop was supposed to be Aruba instead of St. Maarten, but an older couple was reported missing during the trip from Barbados to Aruba and presumed overboard, so the ship had to return to search for them, which made it impossible for them to continue on to Aruba in the time allotted.  But as you can see from the following images, they still managed to have a pretty good time!

Click on a thumbnail to see a larger version of the image.  Some of the images were taken directly from Beverly's digital camera (reduced to 800x600), some were scanned from photos (most of which were reduced to about 800 pixels in the longest direction), and others were scanned onto a CD by the developer of the film from a couple of disposable cameras that Beverly took for those times when she didn't want to risk it with her digital (are of those all 640x480).  If you would like higher-resolution versions of any photo, just drop us a note.

The port at St. Thomas, our first port of call on Monday May 9th.

They parked our boat in the space you see between the other two! Amazing!

Our excursion at St. Thomas was a SeaTrek. Very beautiful!

We walked on the Ocean floor and saw lots of ocean wildlife.

Some of us were even brave enough to touch said wildlife! Go Debbie!

Some of the plant life from the lush island of Dominica, our second port on Tuesday.

Our Dominica excursion was a long hike to a beautiful waterfall, Middleham Falls.

Next port of call was Barbados on Wednesday, May 11th.

How we got to the tip of the island to pet the sea turtles our guide was feeding! Yep, we kayaked! What fun!

Our fourth port was St. Maarten on Saturday, May 14th after two days at sea.
