Winter cruise

This past March, I left behind the cold winter in Florida (it was cold at that time) and joined my family on a Southern Caribbean cruise.  We sailed on the Crown Princess, her last sail before going into dry dock and headed for what's known as the ABC islands - Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.  We enjoyed our time on the ship - lots of relaxation, some good meals and a little sightseeing.  All in all, a great eight days.

​Our first stop was Bonaire.  Mom and I had been here before, so we chose not to do any shore excursions.  Rather, we just walked through town and did a little shopping.  These islands are dutch, of course, so we saw a lot of dutch knick knacks.
Our next stop was Aruba.  Well known for its resorts, we spent the day learning a little about their huge desalination plant where they make drinking water for everyone on the island.  We then spent the rest of the day relaxing on a small island, named Depalm island.  We rented a cabana, snorkeled, ate and just relaxed by the water.
Last stop, Curacao, where we boarded a little trolley and got a great tour of the town and all it's beautifully colored houses.
Finally, here are a few pictures from wandering around the ship.
