Words cannot express how much fun this was!! WE have never left our kids for more then a night or 2 and we are always reachable and not to far away when we do. It was a pain in the butt to get everything ready and sitters lined up and calm the nerves enough to go but once we did it was so surreal! Like the dream vacation that you see on TV that you think could never happen. A cruise is the way to vacation! You plan nothing other then booking the cruise and flight to port, you find whatever entertainment you want on board, Eat whenever you want, plan something if you want or take a nap if you dont (in a pitch black air conditioned room no less) no rental cars...etc!! Seriously...get a group of friends and go on a cruise!! We plan to go again in 2014!
The Ship!! The views from and just some of the fun stuff aboard
