Since our last cruise got terminated, we got to go on another cruise! We had to do it soon, because they won't let pregnant women over 24 weeks on board. So we went last week. The ship left Saturday the 8th, we got back Saturday the 15th.
This is right when we took off, in the background you see the Norwegian Sun. Also a beautiful ship, but not as nice as the Carnival Dream of course! The Dream is on of the newest ships and it was beautiful. It was, it really was.
We made our first stop on Monday- in Cozumel, Mexico. The weather was beautiful!
We walked through the town and shopped mostly, which was really fun! Here I was taking a little break.
We had to be back on the ship at 5.30 pm. Before we went back on board Rudi got a Margarita at a famous bar- Fat Tuesday. We had about a half an hour left.
Then, after he drank his delicious margarita, we found a really nice charm bracelet at a jewelry store. We had to decide really quick, because we had to get back on the ship! Thankfully a lady that worked for Carnival happened to be in the store and told us that she would tell security that we'd be a little late, but to wait for us!
So this is where we really quick took a picture, and then we RAN back to the ship! They were already taking the walkway away. So we barely made it! Then- when we were back on, we found out they were still waiting for one of the excursions to get back...
We bought Tys these little cowboy boots- he loves them!
On Tuesday we arrived in Belize. The weather was still beautiful. We had 5 -minute tropical rain shower, but it felt kind of nice actually! We decided to go snorkeling, since that was one of the things we really wanted to do.
A little boat brought us to this beautiful little Island! It was so pretty!
This is our friend Marie. We met a group of five ladies on the cruise, and became friends. We hung out with them during the cruise and had a lot of fun together. Marie went snorkeling with us that day. We had a blast with her! And Rudi had a drinking buddy that way. After we snorkeled- which was beautiful, they served this delicious rum punch. Rudi and Marie wanted to get their money's worth, so they uhm, really enjoyed the rum punch ;)
After a while it got very windy and it even started to rain!
The snorkeling trip was my favorite part of the cruise!
Then we had a little bit of time left, before we had to get back to the ship, so we decided to check out Belize city.
It was an interesting city. We had our own tour guide (a taxi driver), but Rudi decided he wanted to walk, not ride in the taxi. So for $5 he showed us the city.
I love the towel animals!
On Wednesday we were supposed to go to Roatan-Honduras. But it was way too windy, so the ship could not safely dock. So we had an extra day at sea. Kind of a bummer, but we still had a nice, relaxing day.
Then, on Thursday we were supposed to go to Costa Maya, but it was still way too windy, so they decided to head back to Cozumel (Spanish for Deja-Vu ;). But we absolutely loved it!
And, of course, we ended at Fat Tuesday again!
Because we missed two of the stops, Carnival is giving us 20% off of the next cruise!
Friday we were at sea all day, and Saturday we got back to where we started; Port Canaveral. Then took a shuttle to orlando, where we had about 5 hours to kill before our flight left. We had a really nice lunch with our lady friends, which made the time go by fast! And before we knew it, we were home!
We had missed the boys very much, and were so happy to see them again. They'd had a great time and were very well taken care off by Rudi's parents, which we are very grateful for!
And now we're getting back to "normal life"!
