Cruising

This past march, Jared and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to go on a cruise. We left out of Houston for a seven night cruise on the Norwegian Dream. When we first saw our ship, I couldn't believe how big and beautiful it was.





I was a little tiny bit nervous, because I had never been on a ship even close to that size! We boarded and found our room. When we walked in it took me a minute to realize that, although we had only paid for an inside cabin, we had been assigned an outside cabin, with a big window!! How lucky are we?! After unpacking, we wandered around the ship for a while and got some lunch.
I could not believe how much food there was. One day when I walked back into the room after having been out and about, there was a surprise for me, a bunny made of towels. Isn't it cute?
The first day we were at sea, and Jared got seasick!! I sat by the pool and read a book and got tan. The next day we were in port, in Progresso Mexico, where we went to see the ruins at Chichen Itza.
It was incredible. It was also amusing because everywhere you looked there was someone selling something, and man were they intent!! The following day we were going to be doing a couple of boat dives in Cozumel. I was super excited. Then, we awoke, and the wind was blowing like crazy. So unfortunately our dive was cancelled. Since we couldn't dive, we wandered around Cozumel for the day. To cheer me up, (and because it was our anniversary weekend) Jared bought me a beautiful Tanzanite ring and bracelet. It's absolutely incredible. The following day we were in Belize, and we went snorkleing and swam with sting rays!!! There were so many of them. We even got to feed them!! They are very slimey feeling.
The last few days were at sea, so I was able to read, relax, and get tan.The final night we had a chocoholics buffet. There was chocolate sculptures, ice sculptures etc. Beautiful.
I would suggest that anyone who gets the chance to GO CRUISING!!!
