It was AWESOME! We left out of Galveston and went to Jamaica and Grand Cayman. We were originally supposed to go to Cozumel as well, but that got cancelled because of the swine flu (stupid flu!). The ship was HUGE and it was soooooo, soooo much fun. Anything you could think of, they had it on the boat. And the best food you've ever had. Here are a few pictures of just the boat, a/k/a The Beast.
This is what I saw when I looked to the left of our balcony....my view for 7 days.
We had to take smaller boats to Grand Cayman and this is what it looked like from the island.
This was our view from our beach chairs at Sandal's. No, it is not a post card! It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was perfect, everything was just amazing.
Swimming with the stingrays!!!! I was a little nervous at first, but after hearing and watching the guides, there wasn't anything to worry about. They would swim up right by you and brush up against you. They feel like a mixture between greasy and silky...if that makes any sense. Anywho, it was really cool. The guides brought food with them and boy did they go crazy! I swear there was about 25 stingrays around us at one point. And before you freak out and say "That's what killed Steve Irwin!", we asked about that. These guys have been doing this for 10 + years and said that's a one in a million chance. Stingrays only sting you when they feel threatened, and it was a totally different species of stingrays. And as we all know, Steve Irwin wasn't the most gentle person when it came to his animals. Can you imagine something feeling threatened by him? Um, YEAH! One guide would even rub his finger across the stinger to prove it's no big deal.
I can't upload every single picture because it takes For-ev-er. But, if you're interested in more, go here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2095394&id=49706366&l=f5a79477d0
There's a lot of them, but they are so worth looking at. Everything was gorgeous, just like the pictures on TV!
