Return to St Lucia - Day 5

Celebrity Reflection at Dock 
Castries, St Lucia
September 24, 2025

 It has been 14 years since Chris and I visited St Lucia. We enjoyed a great week then with my sister Pennie and her husband, Scott. 

Yesterday, we made our return to the island and were not disappointed. We made port in Castries, the capital, and took a bus tour of the northern part of the island. Lush vegetation was everywhere. The roads were as bad a I remember, rough but passable. We further enjoyed a beautiful but hot day from the comfort of an air conditioned bus. 

A Hole on a Sandal's Golf Course
St Lucia

During our three-hour tour, we discovered a golf course built along the Atlantic Ocean that I would love to play. It looks to be a lot of fun and a definite difficult challenge with the narrow fairways and ocean breezes.

We also revisited Pigeon Island, where we had visited during our previous adventure on St Lucia. It was much the same, except this time we did not enter the fort. 

We made our way back to the ship for lunch and an afternoon of relaxation. 

Sunset over the Ocean

The final bit of St Lucia enjoyment came during dinner as we witnesses a stunning sunset over the ocean near the northern tip of the island.

We have not enjoyed many sunsets on this cruise because we have been blessed with many storm clouds, but few sunsets. I took the image through the somewhat cloudy windows in the dining room. But it was a sunset to enjoy.
