Baby Let's Cruise

Well we're back. We have actually been back since early Sunday morning but we went to my best friend's graduation and then I have worked the past two days. We had the best time!! We did not want to get off the ship and the only reason we did is to avoid being arrested and the ackwardness that would have took place when we tried to explain the next set of guest of why we were still in their room.


Since I consider my blog somewhat of a journal I am going to bore you with my favorite parts of the trip. We arrived to the ship on Monday at about 1:00 p.m. That gave us 3 1/2 hours until the ship was suppose to leave. So we basically just walked around the ship and saw every possible thing we could. We looked like a bunch of kids running around looking for the next thing.
One our favorite things to do was look out at the ocean. It just went on for miles. It was amazing.



















That was pretty much all we did on Day 1. I mean they have shows and dinner but Day 1 is pretty relaxed.
Day 2, we went to a private island owned by royal caribbean called CocoCay. At first, I did not want to go. I am not a huge beach person around crowds. I mean don't get me wrong I love the beach but I do not like to go when it was crowded. I am so glad that we went. It wound up being the favorite part of trip. It was so relaxing.
That night was formal night. So we got a chance to dress up and have fun. Look at the handsome man that I am married too!!!

The next day we went to Nassau. I was actually looking forward to this one but it was not as great as I thought it would be. You are constantly harrassed to have your hair braided or buy something or go on a ride somewhere. The Atlantis resort was nice but everything was pricey.



We just went back to the ship and had dinner and took advantage of the awesome entertainment they had.

Day 4 was just a day at sea. We enjoyed the wonderful game shows, entertainment, and events they had. We also found a nice spot to play cards. It was very relaxing. We made sure to get plenty of sleep.
We did not want to leave. We had the best time. We are already trying to book our next cruise with my parents (hint hint).

However, we did get to go to SeaWorld since we had two days in Orlando until our plane took off. I have always wanted to go. I cannot believe I am going to admit this, but during the Shamu show I actually could not stop crying. It made we think of how wonderful our Father in Heaven is. It was amazing to see one of this beautiful creatures. I felt something very spiritual watching the show and I am grateful I got a chance to witness it.
