The Cruise

This year our adventure out of town took us on a cruise ship into the Caribbean Ocean.  I have to admit, seeing the turquoise water always gives me a feeling of warmth and the ultimate sunshine.  There are so many pictures to go through that I am just going to give you a few from every island.  We landed in Puerto Rico and then traveled to our ship via taxi.  Then after all the registration was finished (easier than I thought it would go honestly) we hopped on board on the 5th floor, yep practically ran across the gangway as I didn't want to look down. 

As we boarded the Jewel of the Seas I couldn't help think "and people say this is the smallest boat in the fleet", the ship itself was huge.  With 3 swimming pools, a casino, and oodles and oodles of activities it was easier to believe that it was a hotel on water. 

We visited 5 islands on this trip; St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antiqua, St. Lucia and Barbados.  What glorious places, blue water, interesting people and food like no other.  The crew was wonderful and we would definitely do it again in a couple years.  I was very concerned I would be sea sick, but I felt fine, I did feel a couple lurches of the boat and it was difficult keeping my sea legs but I was pretty amazed I wasn't ill.

So on to St. Maarten, our first stop and my favourite island of the 5.
