Ruby Princess Cruise

Ready for adventure - waiting at the cruiseport in Fort Lauderdale before embarking the Ruby Princess.


The view from an upper lounge on the ship as we were leaving Ft. Lauderdale.


One beautiful sunset:)


Mother on the beach on St. Maarten. This is the famous beach at the airport where the jets and planes fly directly overhead - it feels like you could almost touch them they are so close!


This is a huge billboard for all to see!



I'm looking directly over my head on the beach! Rob wanted Dad to experience this since he is a former WWII pilot.


That is me (in the middle shading my eyes) waiting for a jet to take off. You really get blown by the engines!


You can see a few people turning back when the engines start blowing sand - it is quite a blast. I just covered my eyes.


Dad's lobster dinner on formal night.


This is a juggler who put on several shows the last half of the week. He chose Rob as his helper for his show on Rob's birthday. I put the youtube link at the end of this blog.


Not just one dessert, but a sampler!


A birthday cake and "Happy Birthday to You" by the waiters. They are usually off key like crazy, but this group actually sounded good:)


Yep, Rob turned 60 on the cruise! We also celebrated my retirement:)

This is the link to the juggler video with Rob.
