Yesterday we flew into San Juan, Puerto Rico, direct flight with Westjet. No frills (including meals!). Met Dee and her daughter and shared a taxi directly to the cruise ship, Celebrity Summit, and embarked on our 7 day Caribbean cruise. First stop: Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
The British Virgin Islands are a British overseas territory of volcanic islands. So why do they use the US dollar?!?! There are 4 main islands (Tortola being one) and lots of small islands.
Rather than book an excursion through the ship, we booked an all day tour ahead of time with Patouche Tours. Good tour, but Joe needed to be more patient as Frankie struggled with her snorkel mask because he gave her the wrong size.
Snorkeled at Cooper's Island:
Can you see the stingray?
Frankie saw the most amazing turtle:
After lunch, went to the Baths, which is an area of huge granite boulders that don't belong there because it's a volcanic island.
It was amazing to snorkel between the boulders and through the rifts:
Back to the ship: our captain was Captain Kate, the first female American captain in the world. She always gave a "Confucius saying of the day" which was really corny.
Captain Kate's Confucius saying of the day:
"Man who sneezes without tissue, takes matter into his own hands."
