On Sunday afternoon, October 6th, we left Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) on the MS Maasdam arriving the next day (Monday) in Nassau, Bahamas.  We were there just a few hours, saw some of Bay Street, and that was about it - (We had all been to Nassau previously, in May of 1960, when I was a senior in high school).  For the next day and a half we were at sea, and arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Wednesday morning.  We had to wait quite a while to go through US Immigration, since we had been in the Bahamas.  While we were in San Juan, where we remained until midnight, we found a taxi driver (Rafael) who gave us an excellent tour of Old San Juan.  The next morning (Thursday) we were in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, and were there until about 4:30 pm.  We took a brief taxi ride through the downtown and shopping area of Charlotte Amalie, the main city in St. Thomas.  After that, it was back to sea for another day and a half until Saturday morning when we arrived in Half Moon Cay, a small island in the Bahamas owned by the Holland America Line.  We were late since during this portion of the trip we investigated a floating object believed to be life raft.  Of course, there was no one to rescue, but it cost us about an hour and a half.  We rode the tender into Half Moon Cay, took a few pictures and returned to the ship.  All of the next day and night we were back at sea until we arrived back in Ft. Lauderdale at about 7:30 Sunday morning.  It was a great cruise; the food was unbelievable, and I think we all gained a few pounds.  Here are some pictures:
