Snapshots from the Caribbean 

The floating skyscraper behind us at the pier in Haiti, where the cruise line has turned the back side of the island into both a water playground and pristine sunning beach.  Most of the kids weren't interested in just laying out, so we eventually found snorkels and patrolled the seashore in what must have been close to seventy degree water.

The beaches at Haiti were very fine sand and although a bit rocky right at the waterline, the bays here were protected by natural shoals which cut down the waves and made wading very easy and pleasant.

Teenagers and sleeping on the beach we found out go together very well.

Back on the boat, a variety of pools.  This one at the quieter end, directly above our cabins up on level 11.  A small bridge over the backside of the pool.

The Royal promenade is the centerpiece of the ship, at back end of level five, the shopping district and leading to the main dining room.  This is family snapshot city.

At the cupcake store, teenagers get a chance to decorate (then eat) their own creation.

For the more adventurous, a surfing machine at the very end of the cruise liner, and a climbing wall just up the hill.
