The Best Cruise Ever

I'm sure you are all waiting to find out about our cruise so here goes. First let me just say that it was amazing and so totally worth it. First off we flew into Atlanta and had a 3 hour layover, but for those of you haven't been there, Atlanta is a way cool airport. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale Friday night late and stayed at a hotel. Antz and Gina got there about 7am Saturday morning, you'll have to read her blog to find out the details of their flight.

Our Cruise left Saturday December 8 at 5:00pm. We spent the first little while walking around the ship and checking things out. It was a very beautiful ship and had 15 floors. There was so much to see it was unreal.

Our dinner seating was at 6:00 so it was just perfect. The food was immaculate, and it's all you can eat 24/7. For those of you that haven't been on a cruise, the dinning room is just like the Titanic, it was 3 floors and you could see all the way up the middle of it. After dinner they usually have a show or comedian or what not so we would go to that. Then they would have late night entertainment, which you had to be careful with. Anthony swears we were the only four people on the boat that weren't drinking or had tattoos. We went to Karaoke which was hilarious and we managed to talk Anthony into singing. He sang "Help me Rhonda" by the beach boys. I'm sure Gina will put the recording on her blog.



Day 2: At Sea

We went to breakfast and then spent most of mid morning laying out hoping to get a tan. The guys didn't last too long so they went and walked around. While we were laying out a helicopter was flying over us. We found out later that a lady had a heart attack and they had to stop the boat and life flight her out of there. Luckily we had a helicopter pad on the boat, other wise it would have delayed us quite a bit. That night was formal night so we got all dressed up and went down to dinner. Before dinner we went to an Ice dancing show it was pretty amazing because the boat was really swaying and nobody fell. After the show we had pictures taken by the photographers, which the guys weren't happy about us buying, but they will get over it. About half way through dinner I started feeling sick so unfortunately I spent the rest of the night in the room puking. But at least Kev still had someone to go do stuff with, unlike our last cruise. But I missed the comedian that night, which I was bummed about, but luckily I didn't miss the Lobster, because they had it another night.

Your cruise looked awesome! I'm glad you guys had so much fun! We went on the same cruise (only on the Voyager of the Seas ship) a few years ago and had a blast. I need to go another one soon! :)
