John and I have been married almost 26 years and we have never gone away.
With Nan coming in for a month, and us living so close to cruise ports, we decided we’d do something crazy and take a four night cruise…

I was medicated to the hilt, and I mostly slept and moved from sitting in X to sitting in Y, but we had a nice time being fed and looking at the sea.  And I would have been about good for nothing at home with the steroids and antihistamines.

The port is small and easy to access.  We went out of Jacksonville.

Parts of the ship are kind of dark and ugly, and other parts are updated and lovely.  All of it was clean and the staff was outstanding.

We hung out waiting for our stateroom to be ready.

It was a great room for two people.

We had a beverage package that allowed us to frequent the coffee bar.

Guy’s Burgers are the best.

The adults  only quiet area of the ship. It got very busy at times.

We also got slushies with our package.

And Blue Iguana tacos.  I had a few fish tacos over the days.

We visited Freeport.

The beach was lovely, but the waves were rough.

We got back to the ship in time for dinner.

We went to Nassau the next day.

And returned to the ship for some quiet time by the family slides.

Sea Day we went to the Dr. Seuss breakfast.

And had more Guy’s Burgers and Blue Iguana for lunch.

Before you knew it, it was time to go home.

And I would feel like I was on the ship for over a week.
