Day 6
We arrived in St. Maartin around 8 AM, but still got up late. We then went to the buffet breakfast and enjoyed watching construction on a new wharf and watching the cranes drudge around in the water near the dock. After we got off the ship we rented a jeep and drove in a circle around the island. We made two stops. One at the top of the highest peak on the island to look at the view and the other in a great snorkeling spot. The water was perfect and I saw lots of beautiful fish that I can't name. I also saw an eel that was right below me. Later that night when we got back on the ship there was a beautiful thunderstorm over the island and even later that night a huge deck party with dancing and beautiful midnight desert buffet as shown in the pictures. Did I mention that you can also get ice cream and frozen yogurt ANYTIME during the cruise - 24 hours per day, 7 days a week?

Going up hill to top of island |
It was very steep and almost like a jungle going up the hill |
From the top of the hill. The little lagoon in the middle left of the picture is where we went snorkling later that day. |

Ah, Paradise. It was beautiful, the water was the perfect temperature. You couldn't even tell you went in it to snorkel. I saw an Eel and tons of colorful fish. |
Ashlyn isn't quite sure about the water |

Hey, relaxing on an island is a very serious matter! |
Daddy is sooooo funny!! |
Later that night when we were leaving a beautiful thunderstorm formed over the island |
Midnight Desert Buffet |
They had the most awesome deserts, it was almost a shame to eat them. These beautiful deserts were meant to be devoured by over 3000 guests, but the put sooo much work in to making them look so pretty. And they did taste as good as the look! |
