Things I learned about cruises on this trip! Don’t leave out of New Orleans – the trip down the river to get to the ocean is LONG Check is there are large groups on your cruise, and what kind – We had a group of 700 that were obnoxious drunks – the boat ran out…
Travel
Towel Animals
And the most important part of the cruise, the towel animals that greet you in your room each night! Day 1 – Elephant – how cool! Day 2 – Dog? Day 3 – Bunny! Day 4 – Snake Day 5 – Seal? Day 6 most people got swinging monkeys… but we had begun to pack…
What to do on the boat…
So in theory they always rant about how much there is to do on a cruise, cause it is like a floating city. ok… This is where i spent time… (I’m sure there were more things on the boat, but this is what comes to mind) The Gym: I partook of the gym every day…
Food on the Cruise
Dining on the cruise: I love the freestyle eating option. I like not getting stuck with people you don’t know and might not like. We did that on the cruise in the Galapagos – but it was a much smaller boat and luckily we had friends to join on that cruise. The buffet was pretty…
Hand Spray on the Cruise
When we first boarded the boat, we were accosted by a gal with a spray bottle. Hmmm… Us: What is this? Them: Hand sanitizer We think, ok, guess that’s cool, but right now i’m carrying all my crap and don’t have the ability to rub my hands together… Little did we know this was just…
Ports on the Cruise
Costa Maya was kind of a bust. The “beach” area was run by locals charging 30 bucks a person to be on the beach and have coronas. We skipped it, hung in the “compound” – the secure area right off the boat where only certain locals are allowed to harass you. Honduras was super crazy,…
Western Carribean Cruise
I’ve got a lot to say and some interesting pictures to share, so I’ll be parceling out our adventures over a number of days, so you aren’t forced to read a novella or watch a slide show of our trip! Hubby and I went on a cruise early in December for 360 Flex. It started…
NCECA day 8 and more…
Final day of NCECA and more. So as indicated in the last post i wasn’t all that excited to be hanging at NCECA. Friday i awoke with even less desire to hit up the talks and the convention floor… Hubby was going to work with his business partner again, so i decided to hit up…
Day 5 – NCECA Road Trip
This was the day that we finally arrived at the main event!! We headed north to see Walnut Canyon before heading back south. It’s a cute little national monument – and since I’m counting – at $5 entrance fee, we are almost half way to our national park pass cost! There were over 250 steps…
Day 4 – NCECA Road Trip
FYI – Part of Arizona chooses to not observe day light savings time. Grand Canyon and Tuba city appear to, but Flagstaff – not so much. That was cool last night, since we got an extra hour to use! Yeah! We found our hotel right off the highway, not as nice as the pictures on…
