We got to spend a week on the cruise! We had a couple of days were we were on the open seas, and once we got into the Caribbean sea, it was incredibly warmer!
Eating lunch at the buffet- it was all you can eat and had lots of fun things to try!
Here is the promenade, or the "shopping" area. Apparently people like to shop at stores while they cruise... we didn't except to buy some nail clippers...
There would be bands playing in the promenade and dances and things like that. At the end of the hallway there was a little shop to get snacks whenever you wanted.
And the whole reason we chose this ship...the Flowrider!
We braved it when it was cold and got to try it out when there weren't many people. It did get warm and therefore more people in line... We also discovered that is is alot of work and is really hard (for us anyway) to do the surfing. Luckily it didn't hurt as bad as it looked when you crashed! We did do it so much that we were a little sore the next day (you do get a little bit of whiplash if you fall wrong).
this the boogie boarding. Amanda didn't like it as much because for some reason whenever she crashed, she crashed hard into the back wall! It was still fun to try to flip yourself around.l
We also discovered that if you want to meet all the Mormons on the boat, you went to the sports deck because that is where they hang out! That is probably because they aren't drinking in one of the many bars or gambling in the casino. We met some really fun people, especially on the flowrider. There was a group of Hawaiian guys that were amazing on the flowrider (they had an advantage though...)
There was actually an ice skating rink on the ship! Crazy, huh? It wasn't very big but still quite cool. There was a show that we will show later on...
Brian the figure skater!
it was fun to get a window seat and just watch the ship in the water.
Formal Night:
they had a couple of formal nights on the ships where you were supposed to dress all fancy for dinner. It was fun to get all dressed up (and can we say we are AMAZING packers for packing a suit and a formal dress in a carry-on bag...). It was such a romantic evening and not something we get to do a lot. The promenade was lit up all romantic and there were tons of people in their fancy clothes.
they introduced the cruise ship crew and our captian was from Norway!
a good looking guy eating dinner right there!
for some reason they had this fancy old car in the promenade. Not sure what the purpose of it was, but everyone took photos by it.
We also went to a Broadway/ballroom dance show in the big theater for the formal night. They had some sweet dance moves and some awesome singing!
Our housekeeper, Nilesh always had some fun towel designs for us when we returned to our room for the evening. This one was a swan.
