Cruising The Caribbean


Today we are making very good progress on our trip toward St. Barthelemy. Since we departed Fort Lauderdale yesterday evening we have traveled over 390 miles. We are currently located at Latitude 23 degrees 54 minutes North and Longitude 73 degrees 23 minutes West. This places us East of San Salvador Island. he Royal Princess has 691 more miles to travel tonight and tomorrow before we reach St. Barthelemy. We are traveling at 19.6 knots with only about a 6 foot swell. Wind and swell are both expected to increase before tomorrow morning. Great weather otherwise with partly cloudy sky and a temperature of 82 degrees. Last night we had a near full moon over the water which made for great viewing.

Just after lunch today we attended a special screening of a movie produced by Princess Cruises about the Amazon River. This really gave us a better insight into what is ahead of us when we reach Brazil.
