Over the weekend, Kyle and I got back from our wonderful cruise to the Bahamas! It was an amazing trip, a great break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, and a great time to reconnect and spend time together. This was my first "fun ship" cruise, but I've done both an Alaskan Cruise and a European River Cruise with my family. At only three days, it was short but sweet in every way!
After getting on board, we wandered around and checked out the ship, seeing all it had to offer and enjoyed some beverages that we got weaseled into purchasing (they are good at that! we learned quickly to say "no!"). We lounged for awhile, took a little nap, and then got ready for dinner. And after dinner, we had to take some fancy pictures, because why not? When in Rome! Rather, When on a Cruise!
The next day, we spent the morning up on deck before we docked in Nassau, Bahamas. We had brought Santa hats with us, and since the ship had festive decor we fit right in! After an afternoon out on a catamaran and snorkeling with the reef fishes, we got all dressed up for dinner. It was festive, dressy night, so I wore my sparkly dress and wedges.
On the final day, we sunbathed up on deck in the morning, where we fell asleep in the sun. This of course made us even more tired, so we spent the day relaxing and resting. After dinner, we saw the second comedian on board (after seeing the other one the night prior) and after laughing our butts off we fell asleep, knowing we'd have to wake up early to disembark.
We had so much fun, and certainly enjoyed our little Christmas vacation! Now back to reality... Check back tomorrow for details on what and how I packed for this winter cruise!
