The Cruise

Andrew and I have talked about going on a cruise ever since we were engaged, but all we ever did was talk.  We decided that if we didn't just do it we probably never would, especially once we have kids.  So back in April we got online and decided to book one.  We didn't think about it too much, we just did it.

We waited 7 months from the time we booked the cruise to the time we left and by the time it came it was a much needed vacation.  Andrew and I were both completely overwhelmed with full-time work, full-time school and coaching basketball and we were beginning to get worn down.  Our flight left from SLC at midnight on Dec 2, so Andrew went home after the sophomore basketball game to get things ready and I rushed home after the varsity game so we could get to the airport to catch our flight.  I had imagined that red eye flying would be the way to go because we could just sleep........ WRONG!  It was the most uncomfortable flight ever.  We ended up making it to Fort Lauderdale around 9 AM, we checked into our hotel and slept until about 3pm.  That night we went sight seeing, shopping, got pedicures and ate delicious Italian food.

The next morning, Dec 3 we boarded the ship and we were off!  We spent the first two days at sea and that lead to us eating a substantial amount of mediocre food (the food wasn't as great as everyone says.  Andrew enjoyed it, but he just loves all food) and laying out most of the day.  The second night was a formal night.  We got all dressed up and headed down to dinner just to turn around and go back  to our room because I was sea sick.  I felt really bad, but we ended up having our dinner in our room, where you couldn't feel the boat move as much.  After the two long days at sea we began stopping at different ports including St Thoman, Antigua, Tortola and Nassau.  I'm going to attempt to do separate blog posts for each stop.  I can't guarantee that I'll get to all of them, but I will try.  Below are a couple pictures from florida.
