A
little over three years ago, Josh and I went on our first cruise and got
engaged on said cruise. When discussing what we would do for our
honeymoon, it wasn't even a question, we were going on a cruise. Josh
is pretty easy to please with where we go, as long as there is pretty
blue water, he's down. So, I chose to return to Central America, which I
fell in love with when I went to Costa Rica. Our trip went to Grand
Cayman, Cozumel, Belize City, and Roatan. Josh wasn't thrilled about
Belize but I found an excursion that wouldn't really take us into Belize
which was a bummer for me but it made Josh feel better. The cruise, which we took in November 2014,
went out of Miami but we flew to Fort Lauderdale so we spend a night
there before being transported to Miami to get on the ship.
Our
ship was the Carnival Splendor. It was larger than our last ship but I
feel like the layout was really weird and hard to get a handle on. This was our first time getting a balcony room which was a great choice because we did
spend a great deal of time out there, and the room was bigger with more
room. The room was simple which was fine because I don't really care to
pay for fancy. Overall, we really enjoyed our time. Our first day at
sea was mostly spent laying on the top deck getting some sun and hanging
out on our balcony. We also watched the hairy chest contest and Josh
did the limbo contest.
Our
dinner buddies were no where near as cool as the ones on our first cruise but we did
eat dinner in the dining room most nights. We skipped the first elegant
night mainly because we just didn't feel like getting dressed up and we
skipped one other dinner because there was a show we wanted to see that
ran right through it. The last two nights, there were shows that were
amazing! I love watching live shows! We also went to comedy shows a
few nights in a row, both were great! We also saw a hypnosis show which
was hilarious. (Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures of
any show but the hypnosis show). Our last day at sea was spent pretty
much the same as our first, laying out and getting sun, hitting the
casino and arcade a bit and seeing a show. Overall, we had a really
great time on our honeymoon cruise!
After going through my pictures I realized that I did not take many photos on the ship at all!
The land in the photo above is Cuba. It killed me to be that close and not able to stop there!
Josh ate snails at the second elegant dinner.
