Caribbean Cruise

Richard and I were so blessed to be able to take a little vacation last week with some friends from church.  We chose the cruise line Royal Caribbean and had the best experience!  It was one of the best ships we had been on!  There was a ton to do and great shows and nothing ever seemed crowded, so that was so nice!


 Richard and I tried out a balcony room this time and we both loved it!  The cool ocean breeze coming in while we were getting ready for dinner, taking a nap while listening to the waves crash against the boat, drinking coffee and having my quiet time as the sun came up...I highly recommend spending the extra money once in your life for the balcony!  It was amazing!




















We loved just hanging out on the ship, laying in the sun, trying the drink of the day and people watching.  There was so much to do and see and we really did well in doing all the ship had to offer.






























The ship had water slides and surfing and boogie boarding and this inner tube slide that shot you out and up onto this platform that was terrifying!  There was plenty to keep you busy at the back of the ship for hours!



The guys also participated in a ton of sports contests; free throw contest, soccer competition, ping pong, volleyball, basketball; they did it all!!





Jacob won 2nd in the soccer competition!





Richard won 1st in the free throw competition!


















We all loved getting dressed up every night for dinner!  The food was delicious and the service was wonderful.  After dinner we would go to the shows or the Promenade deck or go play Bingo or to the Casino.  Richard and I have never gambled but decided to put in $20 at the roulette table just to see what would happen.  We had such a fun time trying to guess odds and just being silly.  Black was hot at that table and we ended up ahead so we cashed out while we were on top!!







Our group sat with two other couples at dinner that were both newly weds.  Richard and I were definitely the old folks at the table, but we had a great time!  I would say our ship experience was perfect in most ways!
