Way back in February of 2001 Jessica and I decided we wanted to take a cruise to the Southern Caribbean. More specifically we wanted to visit the Island of Dominica. We wanted to return because we had taken a similar cruise about 4 years ago. We truly enjoyed Dominica more than any other Island. Dominica has beautiful rainforests.
The First cruise we took by ourselves. This time we decided to ask if others wanted to come with us. We ended up with nine people deciding to go on the cruise. Jessica and I, Connie & Greg, Monica & Steve, Tony & Joey, and Susan. Connie & Greg are friends that we met playing volleyball several years ago. Monica and Steve are my parents. Tony & Joey are my brother and sister-in-law. Susan is my Mother-in-Law.
We took the 7 day cruise in December of 2001. We chose to take the Princess Cruise Line. The cruise sailed from San Juan. The stops we made were at Aruba, La Guaira, Grenada, Dominica, and St. Thomas before returning to San Juan. During the seven days we spent time snorkeling, hiking, shopping, lounging, swimming, and eating. We spent a lot of time eating. The food on the Princess Ship was excellent, and they would keep bringing you more until you said stop.
This first picture is of our group along with Ciprian and Anna, who waited on us at dinner.

A cruise is an excellent vacation. The ship staff treats you right, and the food is excellent. We highly recommend taking a Southern Caribbean Cruise. Be sure to go to Dominica, it is a beautiful Island.
