Cruise – Day 8, At Sea

Since we didn’t need to be up for an excursion today and we were spending the day at sea with nothing we ‘needed’ to do, we slept in until noon. When we finally woke up, I read for a bit while Julia was sleeping off & on. We ended up leaving the room around 1:30pm, [...]

With the ship arriving in Tortola, BVI early on Sunday, it was the day of our first excursion – a half-day snorkel session. Since the excursion didn’t call for us to meet up until 1pm, we opted to sleep in a bit – we woke up around 11am and had some lunch in the Windjammer [...]

Day 2 of our trip, and our first day on the ship! We casually woke up around 11am EST in San Juan, started getting ready and packing our things up, when we got a call from the front desk. The gentleman was asking if we were still planning on checking out today, to which i [...]
