Caribean Cruise November 2008

Well... it's been a good past few weeks. I just got back this past Sunday from a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribean. We sailed on the Ruby Princess. It is a brand new ship just brought over from Europe. Along the way we stopped in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. It may take me a few posts to get pictures and talk about everything we did. . I was able to go with my mom, some good family friends, and of course my good friend Shelley. It was such a great trip! The crystal blue clear water is amazing and always breathtaking to see!



Ruby Princess



I guess I will start at the beginning. Shelley and I flew out Friday afternoon and landed in Fort Lauderdale that night. We took a taxi to the hotel and met up with my mom and family friends. Woke up early the next day and headed to the pier to board the ship. After waiting forever we got on the ship and enjoyed the afternoon onboard as we waited for everyone else to board. Finally at 4 pm we set sail. Shelley and I took our friends little boy to the buffet with us for dinner. He LOVES lobster and shrimp. Unfortunately for Shelley and myself we both hate it but Ryan is 6 and can't crack the lobster himself. Leaving us to do it for him. We couldn't keep up with him. The picture below was his first of 2 plates. That night they had a little party on the top deck of the ship by the pool. This ship had a huge outdoor movie screen right above the pool with stadium seating. So Shelley and I enjoyed a little "Movie Under the Stars" before bedtime. Perfect way to start our cruise off!
