This wasn’t our first Cruise but the first one that we blogged each day so because the first one on this website, we love cruising and will take at least one a year from now on in.
Up on deck waiting for the departure we hit the bar and loaded up with cocktails, the ship had a film crew in a helicopter today so we were leaving a little late and we would end up doing a 360 turn in the ocean to get a good sunny side shot for the video, this got us out a bit late but it didn’t matter as the mud slides were great, we had lunch which was ok traditional cheeseburger and fries and then went back to the rooms to…
Read MoreAfter a fantastic nights sleep we awoke at about 8:45 just in time for our room service of tea, we looked out our window and the sea was rushing us by at a fair rate of knots but there was nothing to see, we had no idea where we were but the skies did not look too inviting, so we met up and headed to the dining hall for breakfast, we sat at a table for 8 and dived into another fried breakfast. After this we went back to our…
Read MoreThis morning we were woken up by the ships Bow Thrusters bringing us in to dock at about 7:30am, it was nice to look out the window and see land, we were at Labadee a private island owned by Royal Caribbean in Haiti and although we were on the wrong side of the ship, it was nice to see a fertilla of wave runners with different countries flags blasting by our window. We were able to disembark at 8 this morning but we had decided not to rush and have…
Read MoreThis morning we arrived in Falmouth Jamaica at around 9:30 and we were pushed back into dock by Tugs, we were lucky we got in as the caption announced on the tannoy that the previous cruise ship had to abort the docking because of rough seas, so we were lucky as most of us had not been to the island before. We waited until 11:00 despite being allowed off at 10:30 because of the crowds queuing up by the exits. Today we plan on going to Dunns River Falls to…
Read MoreOur phone rang at 9:15 this morning awaking us from a deep sleep, it was the daily announcement to let us know that our room service was about to be delivered, all very civilised. Anyway today we are in The Cayman Islands and Grand Cayman. The ship was anchored off the the coast and today passengers will be tendered to shore, as mentioned before we were not got go ashore today as we have been here before, so today we are hopefully going to have the ship to ourselves and…
Read MoreMexico to day and we arrived this morning at about 10:00am which meant that we had enough time to have breakfast in the dining room and get back to our rooms in time to disembark, we di hold off until 11 because there was three Carnival ships alongside us so thats about 11,000 passengers getting off at around the same time, even by 11am when we got off the port was so busy, we had made the decision to find a ATM when we got off because the ships ATM’s…
Read MoreOk today is our last full day on the ship and it will be all at sea, so not too much to report today apart from the fact we didn’t have breakfast this morning in the dining room we just laid in until we woke up naturally and got room service and then met up on Deck 12 and settled into sun loungers for the day. The weather was perfect today hot with a stung wind which helped keep it cooler, we stayed up on deck until about 4pm and…
