Caribbean Cruise December 2015

Caribbean Cruise December 2015

Technically this was a continuation of my previous two cruises; however Silversea booked two charters in between.  From what I hear all the guests did was drink on the charters, sleeping on deck and in the hallways.  They actually ran out of beer for one of the charters.  The crew was glad when the normal passengers returned.

This cruise started in San Juan, with ports of call in St Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Barts, Tortola, BVI, La Romana, Dominican Republic, Falmouth, Jamaica, GeorgeTown, Grand Cayman Island, Key West and finally Ft. Lauderdale.

I did not take my usual compliment of photos, since I had been to most of the ports before.  I hope you enjoy the ones I have posted.

I was invited to the Captain’s table one evening for dinner.  On a previous cruise on the Silver Explorer, the captain invited himself to join Eric and me at the outdoor grill.


On the final night I had dinner with two of the entertainers – Kathryn and Jordan.  It was Jordan’s 22nd birthday and we celebrated the occasion.
