Our vacation was incredible, we boarded the Majesty of the Seas on Monday around 1130 am, and went straight to lunch. The food was amazing!! I heard the food on cruises was wonderful, but it was way better than I expected!
The ship was gorgeous, the views off the ship were incredible. Minus all the times where it randomly started down pouring and we had to run for cover. It was fun though, and there's just something about seeing no land on any side of the boat, it was just freeing and relaxing. We never saw any dolphins or jumping fish off the side of the boat, perhaps we didn't look hard enough?
Tuesday we were in Nassau Bahamas, it was gorgeous. Jim booked us to go on a dolphin excursion. If you know me at all, this was a dream come true for me. I LOVE dolphins, I've always been completely fascinated by them, ever since I was a little girl. It was the coolest thing ever, and I'm so glad Jim booked the excursion for us. I was able to pet a precious dolphin named gumby, he kissed both of us, and gave us hugs. We also danced with him, and fed him some fish. It was so cool to be up close and personal with such beautiful creatures.
Wednesday, was probably my favorite day, as a whole. We went to Coco Cay, which is Royal Caribbeans private island. It was exactly what I pictured paradise to be, white sand beaches, crystal clear water, hammocks everywhere. It was gorgeous. Jim and I laid on the beach in the sun most of the day, taking random dips in the water to cool off. We had some island drinks that were pretty awesome. I had a drink called a coco loco it was pretty good, but it was too strong for me, I don't drink often, so strong alcohol isn't my thing. I didn't drink much on the cruise, had a few virgin pina colada's, and one non-virgin one cuz Jim forgot to tell them no alcohol. lol
Thursday we were back on mainland, in Key West Florida. We started the morning off with a Ping Pong Tournament. Jim LOVES playing ping pong, so he wanted to join, and It was an excuse for me to take pictures. I didn't mind :) Jim ended up getting third place. He was really good.
Once we got onto main land we just walked to the southernmost point of the US, got a picture, went to margaritaville(it was one of few air conditioned restaurants), and went back to the ship. Overall it was probably my least favorite part of the trip. Maybe cuz I was comparing it to the unending beauty of coco cay, or maybe because I knew the trip was drawing to a close.
Friday morning, we got back into miami. Jim and I were both not in the greatest of moods. Neither of us wanted to leave the ship. Neither of us wanted to go sit in Miami airport for the next 7 hours until our flight left, and neither of us wanted to leave the Majesty behind. We walked around the ship one last time and took a bunch of pictures. This is us leaving our state room for the last time, it was a very sad moment.
and lastly, here are a couple pictures from one of the nights on the ship. We were laying on the deck watching the sunset, I was playing with my blue and red filters, the red filter sucked, I didn't like it at all for these pictures, so I deleted the pictures. But here is with my UV filter, and my blue polarizing filter. I think it turned out kinda cool.
The rest of our vacation pictures are on facebook if you want to check them out!As soon as I have copies of wedding pictures I'll do a wedding post, but no one has given me any yet *hint hint*
