We boarded the beautiful Celebrity Eclipse in Port Everglades, Ft Lauderdale at 2:00 to set sail for the Southern Caribbean. We had fantastic weather and smooth waters throughout the duration of the trip. We did 5 sea days and 8 shore leaves including Philipsburg, St Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas; St Johns, Antigua; Castries, St Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; St Georges, Grenada; Kralendijk, Bonaire and Oranjetad, Aruba. Each port gave us a different adventure along with an extended history lesson. Of course, there was the usual over-abundance of gourmet foods & wines, but we both fared well with only gaining a pound or two. At this point we are struggling with a bit of jetlag, possibly because we are not on a daily schedule and the weather is in the low 80s F.
