In between all the eating (breakfast, mid-day snacks, lunch, high tea, dinner, dessert and midnight chocolate buffets) we were actually able to make it to Ft. Lauderdale and back without a) careening off the side of a mountain in a tour bus or b) setting the ship on fire. Here are some of the highlights:
•Going to Big Lots for cold medicine and sunglasses before getting on the ship
•Seeing Nancy’s parents for the 1st time since we left (they took the cruise too)
•Half Moon Cay - we have never seen such beautiful water and beaches
•Aruba –cool fish, coral & turtles on our submarine excursion – pina coladas!
•Curacao – Netherlands colony with old world charm, a canoe trip and snorkeling with fantastic, colorful tropical fish
•Costa Rica – thick rain forest, cocoa plants (chocolate), banana plantations, howler monkeys, toucans, and sloths (two AND three toed!)
•On-Board - Jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, old movies, reading on the deck, cheesy stage shows, duty free shopping, exploring the ship, drinks before dinner, origami towel animals, art auctions, BINGO!, losing money in the casino, galley tour, scrabble, shuffleboard, and lectures from a college professor about our destinations. See our pictures of the cruise at Aruba, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Curacao and Panama.
