Family Cruise: Day 3

This was our first cruise stop....in St. Maarten. We were able to see the island once we woke up and went out on our balcony.  The balcony was a nice add to our room making it bigger and being able to see where we were at all time.

St. Maarten was a very pretty island and we spent the day at Mullet Bay and Maho Beach.  We layed out, swam and had a blast at Mullet Bay. The water and sand was perfect!  There was a beach BBQ hut where we had lunch and enjoyed the day.

We stopped at Maho Beach on the way back to the cruise ship.  While the waters had turned and there was not much of a beach, we were able to sit on the ledge near the rocks and watch the planes come in.  The beach is right before the airport runway and you can sit and have an experience of your life as the large jets land right over your head!!  It was quite the experience!

We did a little shopping at the cruise port and then headed back to the ship to get cleaned up for formal dinner. 

While Willow, Dane and I explored the ship and had fun, mom, dad, Donna and Kathleen met the Captain at a champagne event and explored on their own.  We all met for a very yummy formal dinner.

To complete the evening we went to the show where we got to order a pina colada!  When we got back to the room I was surprised with a towel animal in the shape of Lambie!!

An amazing day!

Love,
Kate
