Caribbbean - November 2000

These pictures are from a cruise I took to the Caribbean the day after Thanksgiving. It was a seven day trip with stops at San Juan, Puerto Rico, Labadee Island, Hispaniola, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and Nassau, Bahamas. Two days of this trip were at sea. I traveled on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines' Explorer of the Seas. It is a HUGE ship with everything you could hope to find on a ship. It has a mini-shopping mall, three pools, a rock climbing wall, a basketball court, a mini-golf course, an ice skating rink, a very large theater and at least three nightclubs. The ship will transport over 3,000 passengers and over 2,000 crew members in style.
