The FlowRider® was so much fun — you would have thought Jay was raised on the beaches. He was the hit of the day and Bonnie spent part of her birthday on the FlowRider® — even knee boarding — no hands for two whole seconds.

And as if the ship activities weren’t enough there were always excursions at the ports of call: Nassau — snorkeling along Rainbow Reef; St. Thomas — a sailing adventure that included snorkeling with the turtles (all three of them) and should we mention sailing is not for the faint of stomach as several of our cruisers spent their excursion hanging over the rails of the sailboat; St. Maarten — mountain biking—with not only breathtaking views but breathtaking hills to climb (okay we did have to walk up one of the hills) and stops at two beautiful beaches.
