Cruising the Eastern Caribbean
I'm back from my cruise! Seven days sailing the Eastern Caribbean seas with stops in The Bahamas, USVI, Puerto Rico, and Turks and Caicos on Carnival Cruises.
While a cruise was a great way to see multiple destinations, it wasn't really my thing. Too many people - pushy rude people at that, time limits on each island, and the ship entertainment wasn't really my thing. Had I went with a group my age, instead of my parents, aunt and uncle and their friends, I may be singing a different tune.
Nevertheless, it was still an experience that I am lucky to have had!
Come back next Monday for a Nassau recap!

That water...oh my word!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of cruises even tho I've never been on one. Haha. Gorgeous photos!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went on our first cruise in January and we loved it! Now, I'll agree that the entertainment wasn't really my thing, and I didn't like having a time limit at each destination, but I LOVED just relaxing and lounging and doing nothing all day! I think it also makes a difference that we went by ourselves, so we didn't have to worry about what anyone else was doing!
ReplyDeleteI am going on my first cruise in October! I am going with one of my cousins and her daughter. It will be nice just to get away for a week!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a cruise but always wanted to go. however, what you described is exactly what I always disliked about the cruise fact...too many people, too little time in islands and just too much sea. Yet look at your photos...they are brilliant. May I have that drink, please?!??!!!! Yum.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, but I have heard that about cruises! I like to take my time in places!
ReplyDeletethis looks awesome! I'm so afraid of cruises though so I don't think that I'll ever take one. Water and I don't mix.
ReplyDeleteI love love love cruises!! i don't mind the time limits because you can always go back to an island you like..the food? can you talk about the deliciousness of the food?

ReplyDeleteThe pictures look amazing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to go on a cruise at least once in my lifetime. :)
So pretty! I think cruises are good for certain destinations. Like, we went to Alaska. When else would I visit all those cities on their own? I totally agree with you about the short port trips and the boring days at sea though. I can't wait to cruise with my kids when they're a little older because it's such an easy way to see a lot and keep them busy in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteWoww those photos are phenomenal..I'm not sure how, but I know they were even more gorgeous in person. When I went on a cruise, I was somewhat seasick most of the time. I know some people love them, but I think I'll stick to land next time!
ReplyDeleteThe last picture is amazing! The water is amazingly blue!
