Ok, so I finally found time to sit down and blog about the cruise...I will try to keep it short :)
DAY 1
DAY 1
We flew all through the night to Florida. Word to the wise...Red Eye's are not your friend. We had a 3 hours layover and it is impossible to sleep in an airport and it was freezing! So when we arrived at the main port I was tired and a little unpleasant....I say a little others may say a lot...potato patato really!
We got on the ship and ate lunch and we ate!!! Of course it was the first day and we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Then we watched the ship set sail at sun set. It was all really cool if you ask me. Every night we ate in the dinning room at as assigned table and had a server from the Ukraine and her assistant from Jamaica. Each night after dinner they have a show for entertainment. It is all really cheese and I had to deal with Ryan rolling his eyes a hundred times but oer all it was entertaining. They had a couple of comedians that were pretty funny and a magician. The problem with magicians is that I can't really sit and enjoy because I am constantly trying to figure out how they do the trick! The cruise line goes around and takes pictures of everything that you can buy and since I am such a sucker a bunch of the pictures are scanned from those. Pictures from Day 1:

DAY 2
Day 2 was a day at sea...nothing exciting. We slept in and explored the ship. It was also the first formal night so we got to dress up for dinner and the nightly show. I loved it because I just love to dress up...Ry may not of loved it because he forgot his suit coat, ties, and belts. So when he said, "Am I forgetting anything?" The answer was YES!

On the formal nights they have all these picture places set up and the photographers put you in the most awkward positions...we could hardly keep a straight face! The picture of the two of us is one of those poses...I had to buy it! :)
DAY 3
San Juan, Puerto Rico. She ship arrived at 5 pm and by the time we got off the ship it was dark. We took a taxi around and the driver would say things like, "to the right is the most beautiful beach in Puerto Rico." And when you looked...nothing! It was all black. So it was not our favorite stop. None the less it was cool to be there.
DAY 3:
St. Thomas. This day was awesome! We went to a beach and went snorkeling and then went into town for shopping where we both got a cruisin gift to ourselves :).
That last picture is more just for me...he is so cute!
DAY 4
St. Maartin. This day we did more snorkeling. We kayaked over to a private little island and beach and then to a larger private island...were we found clothing was optional! We opted for the clothing and kept to the far end of the beach! :) My mom and sister shopped and we played in the water all day...it was Awesome!
When I went on a cruise 8 years ago I wore these GOLD pants and everyone hated them but me. Well they happen to still fit so they are my new cruisin pants! I love them! Ryan wanted something to be cruisy too so we found him this wickedly awesome island shirt in St. Maartin. It was hilarious!
DAY 5 and 6
Days at sea...heading back to Miami. We mostly hung out and slept. But we did have another formal night.
Dan ended up getting heat stroke or something and they missed the formal night @ dinner.
We went to a game show and Ryan and my dad got called up to play in one game and Lei got called up in another. Ryan killed his game infact the only question my dad got right was, "what is your relation to Ryan?" and the other lady got, "what is your favorite brand of coffee." The host showed pity! :) Ryan and Lei both won their games and won "Ships on a Stick" It was really funny!
DAY 7
Sad to come home....and tired!
So here is my Cruise question: When you get on the boat you EMBARK and when you get off you DEBARK so when you are just on the ship are you BARKING? I am puzzled :)
If you are still with me and are still reading. I saw twilight and loved it! Love the book 100% more but the movie is good. I am going again tonight and then again next week...I am doing my part to make Stephenie Meyers money and get the others made!
