Caribbean Cuise '08




This vacation started off on a very early and very cold and snowy start! We loaded the van around 3:00 am to head off to the airport. Lucky for us we were heading somewhere warm! We flew from Minneapolis to Miami where we were set to disembark on our cruise ship. We were welcomed aboard with a "Bon Voyage Celebration". Everyone started dancing and we kept our feet moving for as long as we could! Around dinner time we headed down to the main dining room. We enjoyed our first meal on the ship in the fancy dining room.

During our trip we visited 3 ports of call: Nassau, Bahamas, Half Moon Cay, and Grand Turks. We did so many fun things while we were on these islands that it is hard to mention them all! Some of the favorites from the group were: lunch at Senor Frogs and Margaritaville, a glass bottom boat tour, shopping at island shops, and enjoying the sun on the sandy beaches!! While aboard this ship we attended several very entertaining Vegas style shows. A favorite of the group was the Jerry Spring style "Love and Marriage" show. We all laughed at how comical the stories were! Our final day aboard the ship everyone enjoyed relaxing and hanging around this ship. We ate lots of great food and enjoyed some wonderful entertainment. We were up bright and early on our final day of vacation and ready to head north. Everyone agreed this was one of the most exciting and fun filled trips they had been on and can't wait to go again!
