Cruise in Review - Page 1 - Dec 7

Well here I am at home from my cruise. First I will say it was a great cruise, lots to do, lots to see and just so relaxing, BUT...

There is always a but, I don't think I will ever do a cruise again. Don't get me wrong I loved it, but it isn't ment for mothers with grown sons. Everywhere there were families of like more than 2, there were couples getting married and other couples as well. That is when I started thinking about how much Jason would have liked to go and how it would have been so romantic to be with him on the ship. The sunsets were beautiful and the sunrises even more spectacular. Just to lay in the deck chairs by the pool with him would have been so great. Then to eat the fabulous food, get room service because we wouldn't leave the room. But then he didn't go. He wasn't here when I came home either. I knew that. But I still would have loved to share with him the full vacation. I thought the vacation would rid me of all my thoughts and feelings of him but all it did was make me think of him more. So I have decided, no more vacations unless I am with someone and right now I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

I will post day by day what we did, so this is the preceeding day and Day 1 ~

We arrived in Miami at 7pm and stayed at the Miami Hilton Biscayne. We had a quick bite to eat there, I had the french onion soup and a ceasar salad. The soup I finished almost but not the salad. Alex finished that for me. I also had a Pina Colada as well. We stayed in Miami that evening and the next day we were taken to the ship.

Oh and what a ship it was, pictures will be posted on my facebook page for all to see. Day 1 on the ship we were still docked until about 6:30pm when we shoved off. The ship is incredible. Our stateroom was on deck 8 out of 14 decks on the ship. On Deck 11 that is where the Windjammer Cafe is, we ate there every breakfast and when we first got on the ship. My God the food was good. And free, you could have as much as you wanted. I did by a pop voucher so that I could have free pop instead of drinks that we had to pay for. Day 1 was pretty relaxed, we sat by the pools, Alex had a few drinks and well we walked around. We definately got our exercise.
