Our Cruise!


Our first day at sea. We hung out poolside all day.

The ship is beautiful. It was huge. This is the view of the main deck.


The hardest part of a cruise is finding a set of lawn chairs together.


Group shot with a stingray. Sara, Adam, Liz, Charlie, Shannon, and Gary. Great spot in Grand Cayman. We were lucky beautiful weather. It rained a few minutes after we got back to the port after the excursion.


Stingrays are super smooth on the bottom and kinda rough on top. They were all to eager to swim around us and we had dozens there at the spot called "Stingray city."
nice back massage
holding it, it felt so slimy
This is the famous stingray backrub.


Our room. It had a neat window, couch area, bed area and a small bath. Everything was super nice on the cruise!




Sara was a trooper on this cruise being pregnant and swimming with stingrays...She also did the water slide which we all enjoyed.
Adam said he only got sea sick when he was spinning round and round on the water slide. Didn't stop him. He must have circled a hundred times.

Charlie and Sara with us
I had to take a picture of my Man :)


Gary and Shannon




We had a great crew. Gary's sister and hubby were also along. We had a ball.


it was such a wonderful trip, I seriously can't believe we have been married 8 years! it seems just like yesterday we were on our honeymoon.
great friends!
the rain was pouring down on the way back to the boat
This is us arriving at Isla Roatan an island off Honduras. This was one of our most favorite parts of our cruise. It was beautiful and fun.
Total highlight was the zip line. We went with Charlie and went through 16 different sections of 150-300 feet. It was beautiful. Just like the Grand Caymans, it started raining as we finished the zip line. It was perfect.
The view from the light house above Isla Roatan.



The zip techs would bounce the lines. The speed mixed with the height made it amazing. Can't wait to do it again!

The beaches on Honduras island.





Tourist stuff!

"Titanic"
The next day, we arrived in Belize. It reminded Adam a lot of his mission. We booked a trip to go cave tubing. There was a small hike through the jungle after a 45 minute trip from the boat. We floated down a slow river as it flowed through a couple of really cool caves. It was really neat because the whole group came along. We had a van and great guides.


This is Gede and his assistant. He was a great waiter that wasn't afraid to recommend or discourage certain meals. We had a great time. The ballroom was simply beautiful.


Dolphin swim area. This is part of Cozumel Mexico. We are saving the dolphin thing for next trip. Below is a tiny sand crab on Charlie's arm.


Charlie and Sara



Adam loved the Chocolate molten cake. When we got the kitchen tour, we saw his personal stockpile. The dinners aboard were off the hook.
Cruise tradition. Guest services would make cool towel animals each night as part of turn down service. We never knew what exactly to do with them, so we took a picture.
This is South Beach Florida. We were overdressed because we weren't topless. It was interesting. A great cruise!

Lane was hooked on those same molten chocolate cakes. We loved the pics of you in your red dress! They looked like an optical illusion as if you were an angel floating in mid-air!
