This cruise was on the Adventure Of The Seas, Royal Caribbean International. The cruise began April 17th and ended April 24th. The ship is beautiful! The Royal Promenade on Deck 5 is something to behold. There is great art displayed throughout the ship. There is something to please everyone. If one is not interested in dressing up for dinner there is the Windjammer Café on Deck 11. The buffet style café offers many great dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For those that are interested in dressing up, there is a 3 deck dining room, each deck with a different name (Mozart, Strauss and Vivaldi)! There were 2 formal nights. We visited Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten, and St. Croix with the first day at sea. This cruise was a gift to myself for my 60th Birthday. Photos will be displayed as they were taken. |

Boarding the ship. The shirt I am wearing is a blue striped shirt. Don't know why the shirt shows up the way it does when photo scanned and watermarked. Maybe I need a new scanner or a change in settings? |

| Ruins of what was once Farley Hill Mansion |
| Left - Workers painting/cleaning side of ship. Right - At every port the ship will run a hose to the local water system. In Barbados after the hose was removed the water did not stop running. Attempts were made to stop it with no luck. We left the port and the water was still running. |
