Today was our first stop at the French Island of Martinique. We had been warned prior to the cruise that Martinique wasn’t allowing cruise passengers to enter unless they had passports. Since we always cruise with our passports this wasn’t a problem for us. Turns out, we never needed our passports.

Today was our first trip to the island of Antigua! We were pretty excited because we love stopping at new places. Nancy and I got up early and went to Cabanas for a quick bite and some coffee, then headed back to the room and woke the girls up. After they got ready, we all went back to Cabanas so the girls could eat.
We slept in till 9:30 am on St. Maarten day since we didn’t have a specific time we needed to leave the ship. We decided on this cruise to get in a number of relaxing beach days and this would be the first one. We decided to return to one of the easiest beach stops there is, the Holland House. This was recommended to us by the DCL Dude and this would be our second return.
We ended up having to get two Ubers to get to the port. The six of us, along with our luggage, wouldn’t fit inside the Uber XL we had ordered. Four of us took all the suitcases and headed to the port while our friends ordered a smaller Uber for themselves. The total drive from the hotel to the port took about 10 minutes. Once we arrived at the port, we grabbed our bags and headed to the line to drop off luggage to the porters.
After getting through the holidays, our travel day soon arrived. On January 25th, 2020, we left for our trip. As I mentioned in a previous post, we booked our flights on American Airlines. Normally this would have us traveling out of Reagan National Airport, which is an American hub, but our flights were instead out of Dulles. Since the flights were in the afternoon at 3:40 pm, we had the taxi pick us up around 12:45, which got us to the airport around 1 pm. We dropped off our bags and proceeded through the relatively empty TSA Precheck security lines.
