The post you have been waiting for!
Well - I guess it is time to tell you about the cruise (before I forget...I'm getting old remember...combine that with the effects of the alcohol...well, I digress).The cruise was absolutely awesome! We left Galveston on Sunday afternoon to stormy seas and miserable weather. We went on deck to watch the boat leave the port and we were on our way! We started the trip with the obligatory safety drill...you know in case the boat sank...we would all have our life jackets.
The next three days were spent at sea and were amazing! Spent time in the casino, lying on deck in the sun, wine tastings, an amazing piano bar with Damian, shopping, showsm and more!
Monday night was the first of two formal nights and the captain's dinner. It was great - except that I put my suit on (the suit I bought in March) and quickly realized that while it buttoned, it buttoned in the wrong place...the first button instead of the second. That sucks! It didn't stop me from eating though ;)
Tuesday night the boat was split into teams and we went barhopping with our teams before ending up on deck for the Mardi Gras party. I danced that night. Let me just say I don't dance. But enough drinks....any anyone can dance....I finally found out the secret.
Wednesday was spent into Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was great we climbed this massive waterfall and swam with dolphins. I will post pics with me and Calypso later. The two hour ride in the back of the bus going around the many curves was not my favorite part of the trip (especially if you reference what I was up to the previous night).
Thursday was spent in Grand Caymen. We started the day snorkeling on a coral reef. It was cool. I felt like a moron for the first five minutes. I freaked out when I jumped in the ocean even though I had a life jacket and a snorkle on. Every time I tried to put my face in the water in held my breath. I finally got it under control and it was amazing. I got to pet a stingray and a lobster. The fish were absolutely amazing!
We had worked up an appetite and had lunch at Margaritaville...yum! That night it was safe to say we were regulars at the piano bar. Damien knew us and the waitress was at my beck and call. Too much fun. It was like we had our own Cheers for a week.
Friday we docked in Cozumel and we decided to do something cultural by heading to the mainland and visiting the Mayan ruins. It was really awesom - and really hot! Next time I will be relaxing at the beach with a margarita!!
Saturday was another day at sea and we used it to recover from our vacation!!!
A cruise is the definite way to go! If you get a chance - make sure and go on one!!

sounds like a blast!!! :)
So now that you have posted the pics when do i get my copy?????
Looks like you had a blast... we went on a cruise once - with the kids. Not quite so exciting, since the kids refused to go into the kids program... oh wel... one day things will be different... by the way - di you go alone or with friends???
I went with friends - had a great time. I think I could have fun on a cruise alone as well as you meet a lot of great people. Too much fun!
