Our tour was with Bernard's Tours.  We broke into two groups because half wanted to spend the whole time at the beach while the other half wanted to shop.  I was on the shopping bus and our bus didn't shop we just drove around the island.  We made a pit stop at Orient Beach and Maho Beach.  We stopped at one store and were given a short time to pick up a few items and we were given 1 hour to find a place to eat, eat and get back on the bus.  I'm sure the beach tour was probably fun as they were able to go straight to the beach and lay out, but if you want to shop, you're probably better off to find a different tour.

St. Maarten

We arrived in St. Thomas, I was up early to watch us dock and take lots of pictures.  I do have to say disembarking and embarking this ship is so easy to do.  To move that many people off the ship and on the ship is incredible that it runs so smooth.  I went on the Champagne Catamaran Sail and Snorkel to St. John.  Out of all the visits to the Eastern Caribbean that I've made, this was the most fun I've ever had.  I highly recommend this excursion.

I found the Studio Cabins to be roomy enough for one person and very comfortable.  I did spend some relaxing time in there because this trip was supposed to be some much needed R & R for me.  The studio areas were quiet and you could be as sociable or reclusive as you wanted.

That night we planned to go to the FABBA: Fabulous ABBA Party but the rough seas and storms moved the party indoors to Bliss Lounge but they were having Karaoke Madness, so it was moved to a later hour, I tried to stick it out during Karaoke but the DJ for that and the singers weren't just bad they were horrible I ended up leaving and going back to my cabin skipping both Karaoke and FABBA.This is my first cruise so I don't have a lot to compare it to but I'll just write a bit about each day, the good and the bad.
