Tropical island night party

The weather was great for the party. The captain told us that the day we were in Dominica, the ship experienced 3 foot sea swells, which is what produced that tilt (and my feeling of vertigo, which lasted until we sailed). But that same day, in Grenada, where we were the next day, the sea swells were 5 feet and they had great difficulty docking the cruise ships in port that day. I don't know if the weather finally changed (the captain said the winds were dropping to a more reasonable 20 to 22 knots), or if we simply sailed west, out of the tempest, but last night was much smoother, and it was a great night for the island night party.
Instead of the usual palm trees on the domes, we had a Christmas flower and Christmas present
