Everyone Should Go on a Cruise

Michael and I had so much fun on our cruise. It has definitely been one of my most favorite vacations and was well worth getting excited about way back in the winter when we planned it! I think it is a great mix of relaxing and having exciting things to do. Here are 10 reasons I think everyone should go on a cruise!



#1 Swimming with Sting Rays!

What else needs to be said, this was probably one of the most amazing things I have ever done!



#2 Getting dressed for dinner every night!

I am nurse, I wear pajamas to work, it was so fun to get dressed and have a date 7 nights in a row.

3. Having so much fun with great friends!

This was my favorite picture because all my trip buddies are smiling brightly, we had so much fun together, I can't wait until our next adventure.




#4 BINGO!

Please excuse the day 3 fingers. I had forgotten, but I love BINGO. I am going to work extra before my next cruise so I can play BINGO everyday. All the different on ship activities meant never a dull moment on Rhapsody of the Seas.


#5 Mid afternoon Margaritas!


As I said in my California post, I think all great vacations should involve Mid afternoon Margaritas and where better to enjoy one than Margaritaville?


#6! Bing!


This was our waiter Bing, actually he had a really hard name we couldn't say so he let us call him Bing. He was AWESOME! We loved seeing Bing and Jin at dinner every night and talking with them. Bing always gave us a riddle and usually taught Annalee and I a new napkin folding technique each night.


#7 Towel Animals!


This was our favorite the sting ray. You can also see our Cruise Compass which I love reading and marking all the things we might enjoy doing, I know so OCD. Otto our room steward was great. Every time we left our room we returned to a beautifully cleaned and picked up room, as I said before I am OCD so I loved it! Thanks Otto!


#8 Quality time with Michael!
The cruise provided us with great quality time together! I had so much fun being with Michael all day everyday. Love ya!

#9 The Perfect Sun Hat!


I have been on a search for the perfect sun hat for literally years. In Cozumel I FOUND IT! I love it. It is so cute and it is huge so it covers lots of my lilly white skin. I feel sooo movie star in it. :)


#10 Reading!


I also love to read! I have my whole life. The cruise provided lots of great reading time by the pool with the ocean breeze blowing in your hair. I am so glad that my fellow travelers love to read also. I think we all read several books, and 3 of us had to great Harry Potter discussion. Book 7 was great, I am so sad HP is over.

I am gald you had so much fun. I too think you found the perfect hat. I do so wish I could wear hats. Midafternoon Margaritas should be a requirment for all vacations. The only thing missing was the pug. Now back to the real world...but aren't vacations fun?
Love,
Mamma

Hey, girl! Drew has been wanting to go on a cruise forEVER and I am such a chicken about it. Yesterday we drove to Tampa and he wanted to go to the docks so he could just be near a cruise ship. He turns 50 in January. Maybe if I could borrow that cute hat...
