We arrived in San Juan to take our 3rd Caribbean cruise. After an overnight flight to Newark, we flew another 4 hours to San Juan. Once we arrived, we headed directly to the ship as we were most anxious to board the ship. After taking a short snooze, it was time to look around the ship for a while before the mandatory lifeboat drill. Once the drill was over, we headed to the top deck for the departure from San Juan.
It was a nice moderate day, so it was most enjoyable to be in the sun on the top deck for the departure. There was a band playing adding to the festivities of the departure. We went to the bar and ordered a couple of beers and then went over to find a place along the railing as the ship was starting to pull away from the dock.
That first evening we went to the buffet on the upper deck for dinner. After dinner, we got a glass of wine and then walked around the ship checking out the different entertainment bars. We found one with some good soft jazz that we stayed for a while but then headed to bed as the lack of sleep on the flight the night before was catching up to us.
The next morning the port-of-call was St. Martin/San Maarten. We had been there on both of our prior Caribbean cruises. Both of those times we had rented a 4-wheel drive vehicle and toured the island before ending up at Orient Beach the well-known clothing-optional beach. This time we decided that we were just going to go to Orient Beach for the day.
We went and got a couple of beach towels from up on the pool deck and then went down to the departure deck to go ashore. Passing the gate that served as customs we found a line for taxis that while a little longer seemed to be moving well. After standing in line for a few minutes a couple about our age got in line behind us.
The lady asked us "The towels give it away that you are going to the beach. Which beach are you heading to?"
"We're heading to Orient Beach. Been there on both of our prior Caribbean cruises. The previous times here we rented a vehicle to tour the island as well as going to the beach. This time we just want to spend as much time at the beach as possible"
"That's where we're heading as well. We too have been here before and enjoyed the day at the beach. Would you like to share a taxi with us?"
I took look at my wife Kathy if she was okay with that, and she silent nod let me know that was fine with her.
I replied to them "Sure that would be great. Just so we're not riding with strangers, I'm Steve and my wife is Kathy."
The other lady replied, "Nice to meet you. I'm Julie and my husband is Dave. We're from the Seattle area."
"We're from the general area as we live in the Portland area. Did you two fly in just in time for the cruise as we did? We took an overnight flight from Portland to Newark and then another four hours to San Juan."
"We came in yesterday so that we adjusted to the time zone a little bit before the cruise left."
Julie and Dave looked to be about our age and in pretty good shape as well. That made us glad that we had been exercising regularly ourselves. I must admit that I looked a little closer at Julie and not only did she have smaller breasts but that she had an all-natural look as well.
It came up that we were at the front of the line for the next taxi. One pulled up and as we walked to the doors, Dave said that he would take the front seat. I withheld comment as I sure didn't mind being in the back seat with the two ladies.
The drive to the beach didn't take too long. As we got out, I said that I would pay for the taxi in this direction. Dave added that he would pay for the return.
The driver asked "if he could arrange to pick us up".
We said "that would be great".
We walked down to the beach, and it was already unspoken that we were hanging out together and went to look for 4 chaise lounges together. Turns out that there were four together near one of the restaurants. An attendant came up to us and let us know the cost was $10 each including umbrellas and use of the restroom at the restaurant. If we ate lunch at the restaurant, we would receive a $5 credit for each of us. We agreed and paid the attendant.
The beach was quite full, and we recognized many of the same towels that we had indicating they too had come from the cruise ship. While the beach is designated "Clothing Optional," probably 3/4 of the people were fully nude.
As we started to set our things down, I looked over at Julie and saw as she reached down and pulled the sundress she was wearing over her head and off. As she did, she was gloriously nude underneath.
I looked toward her and as I started pulling my shorts off said, "Looks like you sure planned on not taking much time to fit in at the beach."
"I didn't plan on needing to wear anything more." She replied
While everyone will say that the nude beach is not anything sexual, there sure is quite a bit of looking going on. I will admit that I was looking at Julie and admiring her 34b breasts and her fully shaved pussy. Very similar to what Dave will be seen as soon as Kathy pulls her clothes off. I did like seeing that Julie was looking lower than my eyes as she was talking to me. When Dave dropped his shorts, Karen was getting a good look at him as well. He looked somewhat well endowed. I was thinking that both ladies and both men were all very similar physically.
As we laid there, the conversation was flowing very easily. We found out that they too have been married almost as long as we have been. He owns a contracting business installing and maintaining home alarm systems and Julie is the manager for a food distribution company. We let them know that Kathy is a teacher and that I am a hotel manager.
