Continued from last night's entry...

Wednesday was shopping day. First we had brunch at Top Carrot, and then Dad took us into Philipsburg so that he could pick up a ring that Mom had had repaired at a jeweler in town and we could wander around, see stuff, buy souvenirs, etc. The weather that day was lovely, with strong sun, and that was naturally

Oasis is a huge ship....we did a cruise to Newfoundland 2 yrs ago on the Carnival "Victory" which at 100,000 tons was a monster boat. Last summer was Bermuda on the NCL Majesty which at 50,000 tons was just large enough to be entertaining, and there there's the other new big boy on the block, NCL's Epic http://www.epic.ncl.com/the-ship/specifications/ at 153,000 tons...

the real advantage to the older/smaller boats is that they can get into the smaller ports which tend to be more charming.

The guavaberry rum makes excellent pina coladas.
