Cruise #2

April and I really had a fabulous time on our cruise. The food was great, the activities were great, the weather was great and the ports were great.

After our first dinner, which consisted of an onion tart appetizer, shrimp ravioli and key lime pie for dessert - April declared, “This is going to be a good week”. The food continued to impress us throughout the cruise and most of our table quickly took to the practice of ordering two appetizers and/or desserts. On Lobster and shrimp night, I believe everyone had an extra Lobster tail. We had a great table assignment with 8 other folks.

With all the food, it was probably a good thing our cabin was on Deck 2 (lowest deck). We had to climb a lot of stairs. We did also manage to go to a few workout classes and April did many laps around the jogging track on Deck 10. (My heel has been bothering me, so I had to skip that activity). After my official post cruise weigh in this morning… only gained 1.5 lbs. That’s not too bad.

The entertainment and activities were also very good. We took part in a couple of the games, including an “adult scavenger hunt” which was hilarious. I’ll post pictures soon.

We had good weather throughout the cruise including our days in port. There was a forecast of rain in Grand Cayman and Cozumel, but we got lucky and it didn’t materialize in either port. Swimming with the stingrays in Grand Cayman was really cool. We enjoyed all of our shore excursions and the days at sea were very nice for relaxing.

Overall, it was a really good cruise and now I have that “can’t wait to go again” feeling.
