Cruise Party 2008 was awesome. Our redeye flight to Puerto Rico was not so much fun, we just wanted to sleep but it is so hard to get comfortable in those tiny coach seats plus the lady in front of us had her light on for most of the flight and the captain kept coming over the intercom to give us updates, seriously when it is 3 AM I don't care what altitude we are at. We got on the ship Sunday afternoon and set sail for St. Thomas that evening. Jenn's sister had lived in St. Thomas so she told us to go to Saphire beach. It was so gorgeous, white sand, crystal blue water, islands in the back ground, good snorkeling we could not ask for anything better.
On Tuesday we arrived in Dominca, it was so green there, we headed up the mountain to ride the Wacky Rollers. This was one of my favorite activities because we were laughing the entire time. We rode tubes down the river and I swear everytime I looked back Colin was falling off of his tube. At one point Paul and I were headed towards the shore with lots of trees hanging over Seth thought it would be funny to push Paul into the trees but instead the push flung me into the trees and scraped my arm up (but no hard feelings). On Wednesday we arrived in Barbados we hopped in a cab to take us to swim with the sea turtles. The cab driver was interesting he would not stop talking. Kara asked if he knew Rhiana and he said he did, he pointed out her neighborhood (he may of just been making it all up) told us about her friends and mom. He also told us they call her Rhee Rhee I didn't believe it at first until we were at a store in Barbados and there was a sign advertising a concert for Rhee Rhee, I guess the cab driver was telling us the truth. Anyways we got on a boat that took us snorkeling with sea turtles and to see a shipwreck. It was pretty cool, and we saw a shark, well not really but it was a giant fish that looked just like a shark.
On Thursday we landed in St. Lucia, oh this place was gorgeous. So green and beautiful. We took a tram up the mountain and then ziplined down, it was so cool. When we were riding the tram up it was so quiet all you could hear were the animals and birds, so peaceful and relaxing. Our tour guides in St. Lucia were very nice and friendly.
On Friday we were in Antigua, we went to the beach that day and did some snorkeling, we swam through this area of about a billion white fish, everywhere you looked there were fish and all the same color. Antigue was pretty flat and dry not like St. Lucia at all, but still very beautiful.
On Friday we went to St. Kitts and again had a beach day, St. Kitts had black sand beaches and an awesome trampoline to play on. I applied sunscreen about every hour that day because I did not want to burn on the last day but for some reason I came back fried, my back and stomach were so sore.
Some hightlights of our trip were the speed walking contest down the ships halls, boy could Paul get his hips going. I got my life jacked stuck on my head during the muster drill, for a minute there I began to panick but finally got it off. Karaoking on the last night, Kara and Jenn got everyone going and Paul ended the night with an awesome rendition of "Milkshake" ( I will try to get the video uploaded)
I will also try to get the video of "The General" singing Stroke It. This mid 50's guy who was on the cruise all by himself sang this song we had never heard of, he looked like such a nerd, I would have never imagined him singing the song "Stroke It".
Each night at dinner our table would order quite a bit of food but our server always thought we needed more so she would bring us any extra food she had plus chocolate cake for everyone. We were considered the garbage disposal table. We had a great time on the cruise and hope we can do it again in the future.
