Honeymoon- July 19-23
I know this is super late...but I FINALLY have a free day to sit down and blog about our wonderful Honeymoon Cruise to the Bahamas!
It was FABULOUS! We went with Katie and Jason Enlow, who got married two weeks before us. We were so excited to go together that Katie and I made matching shirts!! These shirts helped us gain special privileges on the boat that were SO unexpected! For example, we were able to cut to the front of the line to get on the ship! It was great!
They fed us sooo well- 5 course meals every night- soup, salad, appetizer, main course, and dessert! We had fish, lamb chops, steak, etc. Also, we were surprised with a honeymoon dessert and the birthday song- except they said "happy honeymoon" rather than "happy birthday". LOL
We were also surprised by the towel creatures that were in our room each night!
The second day at sea we ported at Royal Caribbean's private island- CocoCay! It was beautiful! We took a ferry ride to get to the island. There were cute little souvenir shops where we got a CocoCay coffee mug! We had BBQ for lunch, took rafts and swam out to the floating dock, relaxed on a hammock, and laid out on the lounge chairs! It was so windy that the sand was being kicked up in our faces! Come to find out...there was tropical storm- Bonnie in the area. LOL
The next day we ported at Nassau, Bahamas and took an excursion to Discover Atlantis on Paradise Island- we saw the Atlantis Hotel, beautiful sculptures in the casino, and all kinds of marine life. I even saw a real conch in the shell! Creepy! We also walked around downtown Nassau and stopped by the Hard Rock Cafe, we picked up two coffee mugs at the souvenir shops, we spotted a Starbucks, and we found our ferry boat- Caribbean Queen!
On our last day, we were at sea and it was fun to relax on the boat! We got a couples massage which was wonderful, but we were conned into buying their products which was another hundred dollars!! Ridiculous! We laid out by the pool, and played in the casino (I played blackjack and won back my money plus $10! Yay me!). That night we watched a show and took pictures of the beautiful sunset!
We had a wonderful trip and hope we can do something like it again soon! Thanks for going with us Katie and Jason! It was a blast!! :)
