My First Cruise (Installment #1)

I have always wanted to take a cruise, if for no other reason than to experience the Caribbean.  A cruise is a great way to experience a lot in a short period of time and I feel it is one of the best ways to experience islands.  


In October 2009, I found a great deal on a cruise through carnival.  The economy was nearing the base of the recession.  Needless to say it was the perfect time to take a vacation.  Anyway, I booked a 7 night cruise with the following ports of call: Puerto Rico (cruise began and ended here), St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, and St. Kitts.  For me it was perfect.  Each day was a new island and a new adventure.
