CARIBBEAN SEA        ST. MAARTEN        ST. THOMAS

 

     In July of 2000, my mother decided she was ready for a Caribbean cruise, her first. As the only of her four children available for such an adventure, I accompanied her on a voyage that was wildly foreign and surprising at every turn - I had no idea about the industry of cruise ships nor the loyalty of some of its aficionados. Begin with my introduction to the ship in the Caribbean Sea dispatch and then sail on to the islands. What a trip.
