We have just anchored off Isla de Providencia, Columbia. This should be interesting… no shore excursions were offered here and even the onboard “Travel Guide” Frank doesn’t know anything about this stop. We have had a couple of these sort of unknown stops on other cruises; some have turned out to be wonderful and some really blah. I’ll let you know about this one later.

The passengers on this cruise are just slightly older than us… the mid age is probably about 70ish. Most everyone seems to be quite well-traveled and some have wonderful stories. There are no children onboard and only a few people younger than 60. We have found several people that were onboard Royal Princess last year for the World cruise - it’s fun to chat with them .

Yesterday we went to the Grand Opening of the new aft pool deck which was a late morning party with the band playing and free drinks… but the pool and hot tubs were just being filled and not opened yet. Shortly after that we went to the first gathering of the Cruise Critics - great bunch of people as always. Sadly, by going to the CC gathering we missed trivia so, of course, the team won. What does that tell you??!! I also went to the speaker lecture on Columbus’ sailing to the new world.

More later…
