The Cruise

Ryan and I just returned from our 7 day Caribbean Cruise. It was outstanding! We had such a great time being with each other. It all started last Friday when we boarded a plane in Boston and landed in warm, sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We spend a night in a hotel and then Saturday morning we took a shuttle to Port Everglades where the Grand Princess awaited us. We boarded the ship, unpacked our bags and then headed out to the deck for some rays and a view of the ocean. That night we went to a comedy and welcome show.

The next day was a “day at sea”. We enjoyed laying by the pool, going to an art auction, and dining in the fabulous Da Vinici Dining Room. The next day we arrived in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We walked off the ship and took a taxi to Dunn River Falls. The falls were amazing to see and to climb. This was by far the most unique day of the trip. The next day we were supposed to arrive in Grand Cayman, but the port was closed due to 7 foot swells in the harbor area; we couldn’t safely tender to land. As disappointed as we were, it ended up being a fabulous day at sea.

Our next stop was Cozumel, Mexico. We decided to go to a beach for a little sun and snorkeling.

After Cozumel we had one more “day at sea” and then we went to Princess Cays—and island in the Bahamas. It was a beautiful island the sand was soft and white and the water was crystal clear. We enjoyed a complimentary beach barbeque and lots of strolls down the beach. Ryan went scuba diving and I stayed on the beach relaxing and reading a good book. Words can’t describe the fun we had, but I hope maybe the pictures can!
