Our ship, the Celebrity Summit, ultra-modern and sparkling clean. We sailed from San Juan, circling the southern Caribbean.

Among the Summit’s many attractions: a heated pool on the sun deck. That’s Fiona in Grampie’s arms, daughter of (our daughter) Clarissa and Rob Moll.

Son-in-law Adam Henker (married to our Georgina) enjoys a cup of java with Enid at the poolside café.

Getting creative with the towels. Kids of all ages love these little surprises you find on a cruise ship.

After begging our maitre d’, we were treated to a private galley tour. Note the shrimp appetizers. No shortage of food here!

Formal night: Richard with daughter Priscilla (married to Matt Hofmann; see next shot).

Matt and Priscilla rented a scooter to zip around Aruba. The outer parts of the island, away from the capital, Oranjestad, abound in rugged seascapes like this.
