As we arrive in the Port of Fort De France in Martinique the skies are overcast. the water is brown from runoff from the island, and there are trees, much trash, and pieces of lumber in the water. They obviously have had heavy rains recently.
Being Sunday most shops and businesses are closed. Only passengers with passports may disembark and masks are required while off the ship. All combined. most passengers remain onboard. Showers dampen the decks periodically throughout the day.
The usual choices of trivia games, lounging by the pool, mindless TV and sitting on the balcony occupies most of the day.
Ian is a very good beverage server in the sky lounge, and he has become a favorite. The only appetizers, if you can call them that, are the tiny snacks coated in an egg wash. Mostly tasteless, but crunchy.
The show this evening is a comedian.
While the theater is filling with guests, there are two simultaneous medical emergencies in opposite corners of the theater. Staff, officers, the cruise director, fellow passengers and a nurse quickly respond. Both guests are stabilized and removed. The show gets underway 10 minutes late.
Our next port of call is St Kitts.
