Cruisin'

This past September, Steve and myself, embarked upon our first cruise experience.  My sister and BIL and my mom and her new hubby joined us.  Our trip began with a flight from LAX to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  In Florida, I distinctly remember the humidity of the air and the suffocating feeling of it.  My first experience with true humidity.  Yikes. 

We then rented a mini van and drove around Ft. Lauderdale as we had many hours to kill before checking in at our ship.

Our ship, Oasis of the Seas, by Royal Caribbean was insanely large and the best that I could tell from other ships.

On the ship, we were shown to our rooms which were amazing. 

During the cruise we made a few stops and had a few adventures.

First, Naussau.  Disgusting.  I don't care if I don't ever go back.  You know, dead rats in the street and stuff...

Second, St. Thomas.  Here, all six of us went attempted snorkeling at Turtle Cove.  We lost one along the way.  I enjoyed this experience.  Steve, not so much. 


Finally, St. Maartens.  Here, Steve and I went on a Jeep excursion.  We shared the Jeep with another couple.  We had a tour guide that we followed all over the island making a couple of stops along the way.  Steve and I got to spend a couple of hours on a beach and enjoy the white sand and warm, clear water. 




Here are some pictures of our dinner table and waiter.  The food was amazing and dining was a real experience.  Fun.
