January 2024 Cruise with the Stewarts

 January 14, 2024 - A "Bonus Cruise" for us, as Rob was not supposed to live beyond 2023! So, we flew to Fort Lauderdale, stayed at our favorite hotel with a wonderful restaurant, and the next day we boarded our Celebrity ship, the Silhouette for a 10-day Caribbean Cruise with T and Alan Stewart. Rob brought his cane, and our cabin is close to the elevator, so we're optimistic that this cruise will be a success!

Our first evening was a night I will always remember!  The Stewarts had made arrangements for my 70th birthday to be celebrated!! They had many special gifts plus a delicious cake!




 Our first port was St. Martin.  Rob got off the ship, in a wheelchair, so he could purchase a new I-pad.  Success! The salesman was so kind, bringing an I-pad out for Rob to examine.  I then wheeled Rob back to the ship, and took a water taxi with T and Alan back into town.  We had a very successful shopping spree - new camera for me, cologne, spirits, and a new watch for T!



Jan 19, 2024 - Roseau, Dominica - Today, we went on a whale-watching cruise. We spotted several whales, but unfortunately, the water was rough and poor T did not feel great.  Luckily, once on shore, she felt better.

After yesterday's rough waters, T decided to stay on the ship, so Alan and I took a glass bottom boat to explore Buccoo Reef.  The day was beautiful, but the reef was rather "blah".

Bridgetown, Barbados - I took a walk to the terminal to do a bit of shopping with T.  We purchased clear coconut extract and a cute bracelet for Lily.

We found a favorite bar for our Happy Hour with a delightful bartender named Victor.

Port of St. Johns. We all opted to stay on board because it was raining, and enjoy the quiet of our beautiful ship.  We all joined Rob in the Cafe El Bacco for coffee, reading, needlework, sudoku, etc.


We had such a fabulous cruise feeling incredibly blessed!


Traveling back home was easy!
