MyPurpleCrayon Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I was on a Cruise the the Western Caribbean, and it was amazingly fantastic. It all started off with a flight down to Florida last Friday. We ate fish on the Ocean, stayed the night at a crappy hotel, then woke up and borded the Legend of the Seas [Royal Caribbean]. We were on the ship for a full day, and it was loaded with women, and food. What else do you need? We laid out by the pool on the 9th floor of this huge boat and listened to a live Steel Drum band. All day we stuffed our faces and acted like the lazy Americans/Canadians that we are. It was awesome! The next day we arrived at Grand Cayman of the Cayman Islands. It was okay, kinda of expensive since their dollar is worth more than ours. But we had our fun. We got to swim with actual sting-rays and hold and feed them. That was pretty awesome, and I ate a 'turtle-burger'. The day after that we were supposed to get off at Costa Maya. The swell [or waves] were way too high. We we tried to doc at the pier we damaged it so we had to spend another day at sea. No effing problem, it was another fantastic day. We laid out, played some pool games, climbed the rock wall, and then ate our faces off. Our fourth day at sea we went to Cozumel, an island off the coast of Mexico. This was amazing! We spent the morning, from about 9:00 to 12:00 on 'Paradise Beach'. We swam in the ocean, and jumped on trampolines actually in the ocean. Then one of my older brothers and I went Parasailing. It was phenomenal!!! If you ever get the chance to do it, live it up! That afternoon we went shopping where everything was about five dollars or less, it was pretty rad as well. The last place we went to was Belize City, Belize. Belize is a small country south of Mexico and East of Guatemala. We went hiking in the rainforest and then after that we went tubing through underground caves!!! It was awesome!!! Althought Belize is a very poor country, it is very beautiful. The other days were left to sailing back, fiestas, and partying. It was amazing! This was the second cruise that I have been on, and if you ever get the chance to go on one you gotta do it!!! I took some pictures of the sites and some of the food. [All of the photos were taken by me, the amazing photographer] :wink: This was a parrot on Paradise beach. They're friends. A bridge at Paradise Beach. Chocolate buffet. One of the many ice sculptures at that buffet. This is a bread scuplture. And we ate it. Well sorry about the pictures, or lack there of. My computer is messing up, and I am in a lot of the pictures. We all know how this forum is about Real-Life pictures, so hope you enjoyed!

ShadowSam19 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I aslo went on a cruise, though it was last summer. It was my first cruise and was absolutley phenomonal. Judging from the ice scuplure, im assuming it was the same cruise line, since on my cruise there were many fntastical ice sculpures at the midnight buffet. My cruise was in the caribbean aswell, i went to barbados, St. Lucia, and some others. I went in one great rainforest, I dont know where, that was absolulety awesome. I also swam with some turtles, kayaked, and did some scuba diving. But by far the greatest part was the food. First off there was free soft serve available almost 24/7, then there was the buffet that was open 10 hours a day, and a huge 3 tiered dining room, where you could get the best food. I would recomend a cruise to anyone, since theres something for everyone...and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPurpleCrayon Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I lived in Tortola, a small British Virgin Island near St. Thomas, for a year, enduring two hurricanes in the process. It was so remote it was awesome. Yeah I have gone to St Thomas before. It was one of my favorite islands, it's so beautiful. And to Shadow, yes, the buffets are awesome. Ecspecially the Midnight Buffet. I can't believe you mentioned the Soft Serve, and I can't believe that I forgot it. My middle brother [GhostRanger] is obsessed with the Soft Serve machine on the cruises. That is where he spent the majority of his time, and I still don't see how he is 5 inches taller than me and like 120 pounds when he ate about 30 cones a day.

How2PK Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Haha, I started reading, and I thought this was some copy pasted article from some kind of website, about some guy's last living days while he was on a cruise. I was reading and expected some kind of accident to happen and everybody died, lol. Anyway, sounded like you had a great week! That pic on the bridge is great! Wish I could go on a cruise. But alas, I'm not rich enough. :P Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
