Cruise Preview

Hi everyone. If you are the jealous type, you may not want to read this blog post. Today, I thought I would give everyone a preview of my up-coming cruise. It is next week already and I can hardly wait!!!!

So, I will leave here Friday night. Chad has been wonderful enough to volunteer to drive Aunt Peggy and I to the airport. Isn't he sweet?!?! :) That night we are flying first class on Northwest direct into Miami. Not too shabby, huh?!?! Unfortunately, the rest of the night will be fairly ghetto as we stay at the Red Roof Inn.

Saturday, we set sail on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. It is currently the largest ship in the world, until Royal Caribbean out builds themselves with Oasis of the Seas due out next year. In any case, it should be a gorgeous ship and I am stoked... this will be the first time I have ever had a balcony.

As soon as we get on, we will check out some of the ship, and head right up to the spa to make our massage appointments for our final day on this ship. Those always get filled up quickly. Luckily, we already have all of our shore excursions and specialty restaurants booked.

Sunday is a day at sea. We will spend the day playing games, participating in activities, and checking out things on the ship like the rock wall, ice rink, flow rider, Ben & Jerry's, etc.

Monday we are at out first port. It is their private island called Labadee, Haiti. The pictures look gorgeous!!! We will likely spend some time on the beach, visit some cute little stands, etc. Our shore excusrsion that day is something I have wanted to do ever since Baywatch came out. No, I am not sleeping with David Charvet... I am going on a jet ski!!! Cannot wait for that.

Tuesday we are off to Montego Bay, Jamaica. This is one place I have really wanted to visit for awhile, so I am really looking forward to it. Our shore excursion that day will be a raft ride down the river. It is our own personal raft made of bamboo with our every own guide paddling us down the river. Should be nice and relaxing.

Wednesday our stop is in Georgetown, Grand Cayman. Here we will be doing an underwater "helmet trek." Basically... we walk on the ocean floor with this huge helmet on our head that pumps oxygen in but allows us to see all around. It looks awesome.

Thursday is already our final port. We go to Cozumel, Mexico which I have already been to. Personally, I find it to be a shit hole, HOWEVER, I am finally living out one of my all time dreams. I am going to be a dolphin trainer for the day!!! No, not just a swim with them, a kiss, and a ride... it is an entire day of feeding them, training them, swimming with them, etc. When I was in high school I used to want to be a dolphin trainer. I am so excited to live out one of my childhood fantasies I can hardly wait!!!!

Friday we have our final day at sea where I will get that massage I told you about, have dinner in their fancy Chops grille, and pack. :(

Saturday we come home after a LONG lay over in Newark. Chad is once again picking us up which is so sweet.

And then, I will look forward to my next cruise which Chad and I have already booked for February 13, 2010. Here is a link... feel free to join us.

I can hardly wait for that one. It will be AMAZING. Wonderful ports, a gorgeous ship (I was on Holland America's Noordam already on my Alaskan cruise), and another balcony. YEAH!!!

Okay, I told you not to read this if you are the jealous type. Don't get mad at me... it's your fault.
