6:30 AM this morning, Royal Caribbean cruise ship Wonder of the Seas sailed past Maho Beach.
Saba was also quite clear this morning.

Wow, something else we agree on, Scuba.
In all fairness, I’m. NOT a huge fan of cruising - don’t hate them but not my favorite mode of travel. Cruised to Bermuda and through the Hawaiian islands but we were fortunate enough to do smaller ships.
But that said, I can’t imagine being trapped on a ship with that many people. Sounds like the grossest form of punishment to me. Great for those who love it. I’d far prefer to get where I’m going and enjoy being there without the crowds.


Respectfully,

pat

Totally agree Pat....but I did just get a flyer about some small ship river cruises in Europe that looked interesting. Not interesting enough to book one but they DID look decent

One big problem with these cruises is they have become covid hot spots. Everyone of our friends that have taken resent cruises have all come down with Covid. Both small river cruises and large mega ships.

Sorry Carol. I had a couple friends on the ship so I had taken the picture for them. There may be another chance tonight. It’s looking pretty clear at 12:20 PM.

Those photos make Saba look just a few hundred yards offshore. Nice!

Love it, we need the cruise ships. Good for the economy.
