We got an early start this morning. Lots of large cruise ships here today, including the monster, Star of the Seas with close to 7,000 passengers. The Celebrity XCEL was here and shortly after us, the Enchanted Princess arrived. That makes for about 17,000 passengers here today!
The four of us walked around the shopping area at the pier. Katie and Becca bought t-shirts and a magnet. Mary and I wanted to see the main part of Philipsburg so we took the water shuttle and enjoyed walking around and visiting some stores, including the Yoda Guy store which is run by a guy who did the creature effects design for the Star Wars movies. Of course I did some more shopping at Cariloha, including a new golf shirt. I love their bamboo clothing!
We headed back to the ship around 11:30, and when we saw the long lines waiting to take the water shuttle to town, we were very glad we headed to town early. We were hot so I decided to cool off in the pool before getting a pizza lunch.
These two pictures show you how picturesque the town of Philipsburg is from the sea.
After dinner in the buffet, Mary and I headed to the Dan Middleditich show. He did an Elvis show last night and tonight's show was about the early pioneers of Rock music in the 50's and early 60's. He is a VERY energetic performer and if he comes to a town hear you, I encourage you to go see his show.
Tomorrow we head to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Looks to be a hot day with a chance of rain.
