Yesterday, I got back from my cruise to the Bahamas. Guys, I can't even tell you how much fun it was. So I'll show pictures and let them speak for me (with a little commentary of course--we know I can't NOT talk, lol):
Our boat--the Carnival Pride. It was pretty dang big...I think we had around 2100 vacationers, plus over 900 crew members. There was a casino, tons of food, bars everywhere, etc. Random note: I saw a lot of back hair last week. Good times, good times. On a more positive note, I didn't get seasick.
The first sunset from the top of the boat. It was amazing. I couldn't get over the view of the endless ocean. We even saw dolphins swimming beside the boat one day!
My first drink on the boat--a Mai Tai. It was also amazing. Holy wah, the drinks were expensive, btw. Anywhere from $6 to $15. Yoinks. Still, it didn't stop me from sampling some. ;-)
So, we sailed a couple of days and landed in Cape Canaveral, FL on Wednesday. We went to Cocoa Beach and chilled for a bit. The ocean was COLD, dude. But we sucked it up and went in. And I'm glad we did--it was fun. Here's a shot of my kids, trying not to freeze their bits off in the water.
And me! This white hat was my best friend all week. It helped me not burn my pasty white skin. Though I did get some sunshine and a bit of a tan over the vacay.
On Thursday, we went to Nassau, Bahamas. It was the most amazing day ever. My daughter and I went parasailing, and I didn't crap my pants in the air, so that was good for us and the dudes driving the boat. The view from the sky was surreal--the water and small islands were breathtaking. The water was the most clear blue/green I've ever seen. It almost looked like Jell-O. I can't figure out how else to describe it. Just...amazing. Also, I saw Eddie Murphy's party island, which was crazy, as well as Chuck Norris's vacay house. Alas, I spotted no celebrities though.

I'm glad you had a wonderful time. I love the Bahamas. Paradise on Earth. :)
Awesome pics, Rhonda. So glad you had a great time and especially didn't get sea sick. I'm also very happy you made it through the Bermuda Triangle okay.
I love seeing the dolphins too. And para sailing--omg! I so would have needed Depends! Yikes!
Did you do any gambling while on the ship? I hope you got lucky.
((hugs))
Dolphins & sunshine. Sounds perfect!
Cass, NO gambling...I'm lucky in love, unlucky at cards. haha
Fabulous pictures! When I was in 5th grade my parents took me on a similar cruise (Florida, then the Bahamas, then back to FL). It was a lot of fun until the last day in the Bahamas when my mom had too many Bahama Mamas and entered a Sexy Woman contest on the ship which I will leave you to imagine for yourself. I am 28 now and still traumatized. When my husband and I go on a cruise we are going to leave our daughter with a sitter. ;)
Thank your for sharing your photographs!
