Spring Break 2014 - part 7 - St Maarten

Our next and last port of call was St. Maarten.  We spent the day doing a little shopping and then hanging out at the beach.  Yes, it's a theme, we did a lot of beaching it this year.  It's a good activity for the kids and the rest of us enjoy it too.

Spring Break 2014 - part 6 - St. Thomas

Our next port of call was St Thomas.  I love the Virgin Islands - both US and British.  We went to Magen's Bay this year.  We have been to St Thomas many times, but never ventured to Magen's Bay.  It is rated as one of the top beaches in the world, but it is also supposed to be really busy.  It was really busy, but we still had a really nice day.  It is a gorgeous beach.  The water was calm, and the slope was gradual, so it was perfect for the kids.  Plus the view is just gorgeous.

Spring Break 2014 - part 5 - Princess Cays

Our first port day was at Princess Cays.  We rented a cabana and just enjoyed a nice relaxing beach day.

Spring Break 2014 - part 4 - Orlando to Fort Lauderdale

Next we drove our rental car from Orlando to Miami to meet up with Kris's family.  We didn't have time to do too much that day.  We got in the hottub at the pool for a little while, and the littlest had time to have quite the impressive tantrum from not taking a nap.  But mostly we just had dinner and went to bed.

The next day we got on the ship.  We had three staterooms in a row, and the balconies could be opened so we could go from one to another, which was quite handy.  Silje and Karin (and Stian, those are his feet) were enjoying the balconies during sail away.
