Cruise Post!!!

Yes, we have been home for two weeks... I've just been to lazy to post. We had a complete blast on the cruise! We went on a 7 day cruise on Princess' Emerald Princess boat. We went on an Eastern Caribbean cruise and were able to hit 3 of the 4 ports. We would do it again right now if we had the days off... and the money! It was a little different to vacation with 2x the amount of people in Lyman! The ship held 3080 passangers, plus crew! Big ship... tiny showers... suction pottys, the fanciest meals either one of us have ever eaten, pizza every night at midnight, late shows outside by the pool, 24 hour buffet, and a ton of fun!!!!! I wish I could share all the 624 pictures we took... but I think everyone would be bored, so I'll just share a few. THE SHIP

Us in Ft. Lauderdale, right before we set sail.

We were lucky enough to have a balcony room--- which we totally enjoyed. The pool was really crowded so it was nice to be able to be outside.. but have some quiet too. We enjoyed the blue blue water and the warm weather off of our little balcony.

We couldn't make it to our first port- Princess Cayas, Bahamas- because the waves were too big to take the tenders to shore.

The next stop was St. Maarten. We were able to go to the zoo there-- and get a great tour of the island. The zoo was small, and their cages were pretty much chain link fences. It was kinda sad to see the shape of the zoo, but fun to be able to see all of the tropical animals that they have.

I also got a new ring (we decided to get an upgrade now, because it probably won't happen after we have kids)
This pic does no justice--- but I have to show it anyways :)
It has blue and white diamonds....ahhh heaven!

The next stop was the beautiful island of St. Thomas. Here we shopped in the morning and went to Magen's Bay in the afternoon! My favorite place because it has my name!

St. Thomas

Magen's Bay-- crazy expensive for food here! This was the 1 port that Justin and I bought any type of food on--- a can of sprite-- complete with christmas trees on the can 2 bucks!

We had a ton of drunk people on this tour with us... stinky... but really really funny to watch them and listen to their conversations.

Our last stop was at Grand Turk. Here we did some snorkeling which was so much fun! After snorkeling we went on a stingray safari where we got in the water and held the sting rays. A little scary, but I would do it again in a heart beat!

We know, We know-- a funny pic, go ahead and laugh-- we look like a bunch of scooba steves!

Holding the stingrays!

We also got some family pics taken on the ship-- and paid a crazy amount for them "all sitting are free" but they sure get ya if you actually buy them, but I don't know if I'll ever see Justin in a suit again... so its worth it. These are my 2 favorite that we got taken.

Formal Night

So, that is it-- our trip in a nutshell. I would recommend a cruise to anyone. Hopefully we will be able to go on another one within the next few years!
