This blog post covers Day 5 and 6 of the cruise and perhaps it is more of a picture gallery of the pretty buildings in the San Juan, Puerto Rico and the diving photos from Olie's trip in Grand Turk. Puerto Rico is officially a US territory with its own flag and governor. Grand Turk is part of the Turks and Caicos Islands, an overseas UK territory. For our purposes of country counting, we have designated both territories as separate countries and therefore our visit to each increased our total country count by two.

Puerto Rico and Grand Turk, Caribbean Cruise - Part 2

Bahamas and St Thomas, Caribbean Cruise - Part 1
As cruise-ship newbies, we relied heavily on online forums and anecdotes from colleagues to help us select a cruise. Endless options exist on the market at different price points, target markets and on-board experiences. The Caribbean was our overall destination, but more decisions were required to pick the islands we wanted to visit. Luckily, our criteria involved incorporating a Christmas Day sailing so that limited the choices. In the end, we booked a 7 day Carnival Conquest Eastern Caribbean cruise and this blog post outlines part one of that trip.
