live it up!

Okay so I've got a lot to say about this cruise. It was first of all the best cruise I have ever been on. The food, amazing, the ship was huge, and there was always something to do. The first day we took it easy, no partying (yet), and we didnt eat a whole lot. But as days went on we partied, drank, danced, and ate a lot too lol.

The first formal night my fathers friend Bill invited us to a party, it was him and his family and friends. The party was in this place called The Cyrpt. It was a fancy dance club which was also used for private functions. After the second night on the ship after that party we (me and Bill's grandkids) went to that night club a lot. We danced so much. My feet still hurt from all that dancing haha. My dad's friend Bill always tried to get me to drink, it was pretty funny actually because we all knew he was joking. So the first day on the ship he said that to me, I wasnt sure if he was kidding or not then. But he bought me a Pina Colada, very yummy. It had only a dash of rum in it so mostly it was just a smoothie. But still you could taste the alcohol in it because the rum was very strong. I had a few Pina Colada's on the ship, my parents bought me some. I did have a bahama mama once. But mostly I didnt drink. I saw no need to drink to have fun.

Anyway, besides drinking and clubbing the shows onboard were fantastic! There were musicals, magic shows, and comedy shows. The final show on the ship was better than any broadway show I have ever seen. It was all the fairytails like cinderella, snow white, etc, put into one. It was great for adults and kids. Speaking of kids, since some of Bill's grandkids are very young I offered to babysit while Bill's daughter went out with her husband. I love kids, so I didnt mind it. I didnt get any pictures of them. I wish I had gotten photo's of them since they were adorable.

In the islands, which were, St.Thomas. St.Maarten, and Puerto Rico my family and I went to a few beaches and did shopping. It was so relaxing just laying around on the beach having the warm sun in your face. I was sad when we had to leave St.Maarten which was our last stop. It was the most pretty of the three places that we went to. I loved cruising around with water all around us too. I would look at the stars at night and during the way sit out at the pool and stare at the ocean. The ocean completley surrounded us. It was so amazing to see water everywhere. It reminded me that most of this earth is actually water.

I had a great vacation. And though I know this is the last cruise we're going on as a family for a long, long time I am still going to save up my own money to go on one someday. Hopefully to Alaska. That trip would be amazing.

P.S. Ive got more photo's to crop and resize and I'll post those tonight.
