Freedom Flashback, Splendor Here We Come
As we prepare for our last official “College Spring Break Cruise”, at least for the next thirteen years or so, I take a trip down memory lane from our March 2013 cruise.
Our first port of call St Thomas was beautiful as usual although I remember being disappointed by the attitude of the bartender at “The Home Of The World Famous Daiquiri”. The best thing about our visit there was the view from their outside patio.
I still believe the best daiquiris in the world are at “The Daiquiri Shack” at Cable Beach in the Bahamas. Here if you have the right bartender working you will get to add your own rum and as much as you like.
From St Thomas our next stop Antigua was the highlight of this cruise. An island tour with a stop at Valley Church Beach along with great views of Montserrat twenty seven miles away, just could not be beat. To top the day off it turned out to be a beautiful sunset as we set sail for Tortola.
I know “Carnival Legends” was scheduled to be a thing of the past but when I dawn a wig and a purple suede jumpsuit, I do feel good like I would, so good, .... so good.
Splendor in less than 27 days, “Spring Break 2015” here we come.

jacketwatch,
We did NCL Getaway last year.. be sure to "Walk The Plank" and do it while you are at sea
Loved Tortola.. and did not have an experience like "trvlgirlmq" although I could see how the hills and curves along with island driving can give someone a scare. The scenery though is amazing!

CCL Vista booked for September 2016. We are doing 10 day from Athens with disembarkation in Barcelona.
trvlgirlmq... will be looking forward to hearing about your experience and any tips you have to pass along.
We are also excited about this cruise and think for under $2k we got a great deal
