Well its been awhile so here are pictures of the cruise!! We went to Puerto Rico, St Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua & St. Kitts. We took a redeye flight to Puerto Rico so we were very tired but once we got there we found the energy to make it through. We walked around the streets and then toured one of the Forts, it was amazing.
Zac and I have an addiction to Dr. Pepper so we were so excited when we found some...we should have bought more!
We boarded the ship later that day, walked around the ship, found the 24 hour icecream dispenser and we were in heaven. The next day we had a snorkeling excursion scheduled and Zac was excited because he had never been snorkeling before. Snorkeling was set for 12:30 and due to the time change and us being exhausted we accidently slept in until 11.We didnt get to see much of the island but had fun in the water. The funniest part of the snorkeling was when Zac told me he wasnt feeling well and that he threw up a little bit..Im thinking ok no biggie, then he tells me to move away and he throws up several times. Up until this point I had never seen him throw up, and I felt bad cuz he was throwing up and trying to keep his head above water. Im sure the fish enjoyed a good meal, cuz they all came swimming up to him after that.After we got back we only had a few minutes to walk around before we had to be back on the ship.
We then went to Dominica. We went on a tour to the rainforest and national parks...really cool but we had a really scary driver.This was the most scenic island we went to.We also found out that Pirates of the Carribean was filmed on the island.
The next day we went to Barbados. We went kayaking and snorkeling with turtles. The turtles were huge! It was really cool to see them so close. Ill post my underwater pics later so you can see the turtles. After kayaking and snorkeling we walked around Barbados.
Then we went to St. Lucia and we spent the day at the beach being hounded by people who wanted to sell us things and by Chris Rock want to be's.They tried so hard to find common ground with us so they could sell us something but we didnt give in.
Antigua was my favorite island. The people there were sooo nice and friendly and we found Dr.Pepper there too. As we were walking around I saw a sign that looked familiar and so I stopped to take a closer look and it was the location of a LDS branch...pretty cool. If it was Sunday we would have totally gone!
Our last day of the cruise was St.Kitts. We did lots of walking and shopping while we were there. This too was a cool island! The tree you see me standing by is the Carribean's Christmas tree:)
Here are some random pics of us :)
We were supposed to be home from our cruise on a Sunday...but that didnt happen. We were all supposed to be off the ship by 11:30am but Immigrations computers were down, so we missed our flight out of Puerto Rico by about 5 minutes.... which totally sucked. We flew into North Carolina and had to spend the night in the airport..NOT FUN!!! So here I am desperately trying to sleep on the floor of the airport!!
Hope this post was worth the wait. Its a long one!!

Yeah...we finally have pics of the cruise!! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun (except for that whole airport thing). Too bad Zac got sick snorkeling. That happened to Tyler in Hawaii too. Cute post!
I love all the cruise pics! I REALLY feel for Zac about getting sick. That same thing happened to me when we were deep sea fishing. It was a true nightmare :) Isnt sleeping in airports fun....I think its funny how we act when we get tired enough. You get to the point you couldnt give a hoot if you are laying in a strangers lap druling....you need sleep LOL! Im so glad you guys had a good time. No matter how fun it was though, isnt it always good to be home?....To me, anyway :)
Love ya
hey Tia! Your cruise looked so fun. Are you glad you went. When we went on our cruise I had the best time. You can't beat all the food. You guys went to a ton of places. That is a once in a life time thing. That is awsome. We are going on a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas in January. I can't wait. You guys look great!
