Disney 3

There are some things you learn cruising. On this one I learned that any long series of ship horn blasts that doesn't sound like a Disney theme song, means we should get into our disney insignia life jackets and proceed to our nearest Goofy Getaway life raft. So far it's just been drills.

Made landfall at St. Maarten's. We passed on the canned tours and grabbed a taxi to a nice beach. We wanted to bypass the cruise companies and support the locals. I don't think the locals need our help any more. It cost $15 just to sit under an umbrella on a beach. But it was a nice beach and Jess had a great time racing waves and making friends. And big surprise - we avoided sunburn. Guess we had to save something for tomorrow.

Carolin did fine. A nap in the afternoon did wonders and she and I snuck away for a nice evening meal at the fancy cruise ship restaurant. Jess played at the kids club and didn't even miss us.

More later.
