SeaDream
II at anchor |
St.
Thomas, USVI
Not unlike our embarkation
the prior week, debarkation was a smooth and orderly process,
beginning with all guests reporting to United States Immigration and
Customs officials at 7:00am.
If you have noted the
reminder to keep out clothing to wear ashore before placing
luggage outside your stateroom door, but thought it was a corny Cruise
Directors' joke... it isn't. One of our friends awoke just in time to
report to the Main Salon and couldn't find his trousers. Where were
they? Oops. Being efficient, he had tucked into that last suitcase the
night before! Fortunately, his wife was able to retrieve them, but not
before the mandatory 7:00am inspection. Wearing a longish golf shirt
and navy blue boxers, he reported as instructed and hoped no one would
notice that his "shorts" weren't a bathing suit. He took a
lot of good-natured ribbing after a leisurely breakfast.
Like many passengers, we
had a late-afternoon flight and stayed aboard SeaDream II until about
10:00am with no pressure to leave. A call
to Leonard and we were on our way to the airport after moving the "gone
ashore" peg next to our stateroom number one last time.
