First of all, we took a cheap redeye flight over to Fort Lauderdale, FL to catch the boat. We did it this way, so we wouldn't have to spend money on staying in any hotels. We took a cab from the airport, over to the port.
Don't mind my actual Red eyes!!!
We cruised with Carnival and had a great experience.. they say this is the party boat, and that is what we wanted!
Each night our room was made up and ready for bed for us. This is when we got the "funtimes" which was an itinerary of things going on on the boat for the next day. We had 3 port days and 4 sea days, so it was important to take advantage and keep busy...or just laze around in the sun. They had comedian shows, 3 mini broadway shows (AMAZING), live bands, Art Gallery, shopping, arcade, movies under the stars, dancing on the deck, they had games, hot tubs and spa's, basketball court, mini golf etc.
We made some friends on the boat who were super fun and nice. we got put at the same table for dinner. (Devyn, Tim, Josh and Michelle)
This is the life.
Oh and everything on the ship was super elaborate. Great food displays, ice sculptures and delicious food...we really ate so much!
This is Jer eating frog legs!
Our first off-shore day was in KeyWest, Florida.
It is beautiful there. We got some snorkel gear and headed for the ocean.
Jer got stung by a jellyfish :( so we weren't in the ocean for too long haha
We mostly just hung out, shopped around and explored the town.
Then back on the boat, and off to Cayman Island.
The weather is perfect there and the people are pretty funny-total beach bums!
A PIRATE ship!
My first coconut water
Then we went swimming with the stingrays!
IT.WAS.AWESOME.
I still can't get over how blue that water is!
Then we were off to JAMAICA
My first impression was kinda sad... it's a beautiful place, but there is a lot of poverty on this island!
I WISH i had a banana tree!
This below is FERN GULLEY...where Krista, Maggie and her pals hang out (from the animated movie) Anyways, it was beautiful. I took these pics on our guided tour drive through the town.
We stopped at this great lookout point and walked around.. I don't remember the name.
Here is a photo of Dunn River Falls, Jamaica
You can hike all the way up the falls! And that we did, and had a blast!
It was beautiful there.
I'm not a huge fan of souvenirs.. but who could resist this one!!
As always, I loved getting ready for the dinners and nights!
Another great trip that I would recommend to anyone!
