Ferry runs every half hour, starting at 10 AM

Pinel Island....just a 5 minute ferry ride from St. Maarten, and you can see Orient Beach from there! Much nicer for us, as we prefer a quieter beach. We caught a taxi at the taxi stand, and our driver came back for us at the time we requested. Ferry was $6 each (RT) I think....well worth the money!

Some shots of our trip over to Pinel Island on our last trip to St. Maarten

The other side of Pinel Island

Here's one I took on Pinel Island during our stop at St. Maarten. We were having lunch and I kept noticing the great reflection from my friends sunglasses.

This is where we were sitting and having our delicious lunch

And these two from Cockleshell Beach of a monkey and goat that live together:

NAP TIME

A few of my favorites from St. Kitts

VIEW OF NEVIS

My grandson with his new puppy from Camp Carnival. He wanted to go out on the balcony and I told him he had to wait a few minutes for everyone to get back to their cabins, so they played on the window sill.

So we're sitting at the fantail having our lunch,

and we look up to see this...

 

 

and this...

 

and THIS...

 

Oh my word!

 

LOVE the lady in the sunglasses... look where she's looking!

 

And you wonder why they call them the FUN ships?!:cool:

These pictures made me LOL and GAG at the same time!

I think the view is the only difference; balcony size is the same. From your cabin you won't have lifeboats below you and a clear view looking aft.

Here is a picture of an aft view from our Glory cruise....view will be the same on the Miracle :D:

Here are the stats for your cabin:

Cabin 5121 (8G OST3) 185/60 sq ft

Beds: twin/king-1 sofabed rab:0

View: window and extended balcony connecting balconies: yes

TV; telephone; 110 AC current; individual climate control; hair dryer; wall safe; minibar; 3-closets; shower; sofa and coffee table.

AN AFT CABIN (directly off the back of the ship) ON THE SAME DECK OFFERS:

Cabin 5270 (8I OST3) 185/60 sq ft

Beds: twin/king-1 sofabed rab:0

View: window and extended balcony connecting balconies: no

TV; telephone; 110 AC current; individual climate control; hair dryer; wall safe; minibar; 3-closets; shower; sofa and coffee table.

Hey Linda....most likely it is one of the four cabins between the corner suites. There are pictures floating around here of cabins like those....aft is our favorite place to be! Check this page:

My prayers are with you Kathie, and to the poster above....I am so sorry for your loss. You both sound like strong women with strong families....may you both find peace and courage in the days ahead.

OK, you made me cry! What a great pic and thank you for the story behind it. I hope you and you sister enjoy many more happy times - when's the next cruise? Kaboochi

Not sure when we will cruise again (HOPING for fall of 2009), but she continues to amaze me! A few weeks ago she reached her next goal of getting back on a horse! Still waiting for my niece to find her camera cord so she can upload the pictures. She has also started "working out" to get in shape so that when we do go she can ride a horse down a beach somewhere!

I can't take credit for this shot, a friend of mine took it while we were snorkeling off of Caye Caulker in Belize....one of my favorite pictures.

From one smuggler to another....job well done!

Those two were so sweet I had to add mine....my grandson with his puppy he made at Camp Carnival

OK.....I will feed your addiction ;) .....here are a few more favorites of mine.

Gold Rock Beach...Freeport

And our snorkel spot off of Caye Caulker in Belize

Luci...my son and DIL also found they worked on the bathroom door in the cabin. My grandson LOVES letters and he will sit still for a long, long time playing with those. Next to his feet is the portable doorbell we take with us too...we stick the button to our mailbox outside our cabin and if someone stops by and we are on the balcony we can hear our doorbell!

My grandson on our balcony on the Glory

Thank you Mark, I will pass your good wishes along! She has started walking down the dirt road to get her paper every day to strengthen her legs. Her goal is to get on a horse next weekend! Since she sold her horse after her stroke she has really missed seeing her everyday. Now she is boarding two horses on her property and has a friend that has offered to take her riding on one of her gentle horses. I will try and get my niece to take pictures to share.

I love this! I can't WAIT to be on this beach while on my Miracle cruise in October!! Definitely want to see this in real life!

Watch this before you sit on the beach and watch the planes take off! :eek:

My favorite one is the pic in my signature...my 70 yo mother in Cozumel...vacation is just fun!!!:D

LOVE that picture! Here is one of my 75 year old mom in Grand Cayman at Rum Point this year.....luckily she knows nothing of these boards and won't know I shared this!

The girls on our last night. Triumph 6/07

 

 

 

Beautiful background for those beautiful girls! Great picture!

 

Bannister Caye, Belize from our October/November 2007 Cruise on Carnival Legend. These guys were transporting a port-a-potty to the island. At first I thought it was part of their boat, until I saw them remove it.

When I took this in March this year, I was wondering where they were heading with it!

I can't tell you how many times I've said WOW while looking at these awesome pictures. Someone could put together some great photo books or a calendar!

You are right about that! I made a calendar for my DH's office using cruise pictures from last year, for this years cruise. For our cruise week I used a picture of the wake for each sea day ,and a picture from the ports we had visited before in the place of where we were going, then typed in the port. He loves it! I plan to do it again for next year. I picked some of the best to use as monthly pictures above the calendar itself.
