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.
