We got to JFK at 9 the next morning and spent all day trying to get on a flight. There had been cancellations the night before so all those people had to get their flights first. Needless to say we were the bottom of the totem pole and spent the night in the airport. I felt like a homeless person sleeping on the chairs. It was almost hilarious if we hadn't been so worried about getting to Tampa and missing our ship. We got to Tampa at 10am the next morning and went to the hotel(which we never got to sleep at) and they let us shower(after we went for a run). We immediately went to the port and boarded the ship.
This is me calling Michael trying to get info about standby's for our flight.
Our Cruise begins!!
Here we are in line to board the ship.
Here is our room!
The top deck with miniature golf and the track
Me eating! This is pretty much what I did the whole cruise. I'm not kidding!
Formal night!
Dave & Deby, Karyn and Brent
Us with our dinner table buddies. We got so lucky and had awesome people to eat with every night.
Chocolate melting cake!
This is by far my new favorite dessert. I had it every night! I now even have the recipe.
Me waiting to go snorkeling
Our first day in Port was Grand Caymen. We went snorkeling. It was awesome. So many cool fish and blue water! Our guide picked up a stingray and had us touch it. They were all around us. After we got back in the boat we saw a shark. It went right in front of the boat. Good thing we didn't see it on the way out or I would NOT have snorkeled!
This is us after snorkeling. Ron calls himself whitey every time he sees this picture. Haha!
COZUMEL MEXICO
This is how blue the water was! It's amazing! It looks like a swimming pool!
Guy painted with metallic paint. He looked like a statue.
From the top of the ship into Cozumel
Our boat on the right; Bigger boat on left.......crazy!
Getting on the boat after a long day in Cozumel.
Ron went scuba diving and I went shopping. We are both certified, but I am chicken! I know, I know I should have gone. He said it was awesome.
Before dinner one of the nights.
Our head waiter Dio was from India. He was so fun. On the last night he teased me and told me they were out of Chocolate melting cake. He is in the middle in this picture.
Here are all the fun animals we had in our stateroom when we came back every night. They used my sunglasses the first night for the walrus, so I left them out every night so they could use them for a prop.
My favorite was the swans!
