Fun on the boat...

 It was pretty much a non stop feeding fest...I didn't get any pictures inside the buffet, but that's where we spent most of our time.  The food was really excellent...I didn't have anything I didn't really like.

There has been a couple of Royal Caribbean ships that have had an outbreak of Norovirus recently so they were over the top careful making sure everything was clean and sanitized...including us.  We had to use hand sanitizer before entering any eating area.  There were a few incidents of sickness on our floor, but I think it was people that had drank too much.

 We had a game of miniature golf our first day out to sea.  It was really windy but fun.  Another night we all went out and played shuffleboard after dinner.  Ha!  its harder than it looks!

Kelley and I played ping pong one day and I about peed my pants cause I was laughing so hard.  The ball kept flying over by this old couple and about landed in her hair, but they didn't even notice.

 We had a real sweet gal that took care of our room.  She kept everything so nice and tidy and saved Kelley when he didn't get his shirt turned in to be ironed in time for the first formal night.  He was going to just wear a different shirt, but she came running up with his ironed shirt just as we were heading up to dinner.

We had a great head waitress too.  She was from Chile and was quite the talker.  She spent a lot of time with us and we got to be good friends.

 I didn't get any pictures in Jamaica.  I'll have to get the ones that Kelley took with his phone.  We got off the boat and were trying to decide what to do.  All at once, a whole herd of people came flooding into the shopping area.  The gigantic Oasis ship had just came into dock too and they had about 5000 people on board.  We decided instead of going to one of the beaches, we would take a little tour of the area.  It was kind of sad to see how many guys were just standing around as we drove around the town.  I guess there isn't that many jobs to be had around there if they aren't in the tourist business.
 

 This was on Grand Cayman.  We had to take a tender boat into the island, then we took a taxi bus to a pretty beach there.

 After we had had enough sun, ( it was really warm there!) we went back into the town and went to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville for lunch

 The entertainment on the ship was really good.  The first night they had a singer that did a lot of songs from our era.  The next night they had this ventriloquist that was really talented and funny.  He put on a really good show.  They had a comedian another night that was funny too.  One night they did a newly wed game that was pretty funny too.  I don't usually love the ship singers and dancers but they put on a pretty extraordinary show.  The last night they had these gymnasts that did a pretty amazing show too.

 This was in Cozumel.  I think this was my favorite place of the three islands.  We found a taxi guy that would take us where ever we wanted to go and show us around the island too.  He took us to a shopping area that was nice.  I found some cute little dresses for Olivia and Emily and a superman cape and mask for Sam.

 It was funny when we were walking around  the city there...this big bus was trying to turn the corner and he totally bashed into this red truck.  There was a guy asleep in the back of the truck and he hopped out of there like he'd felt an earthquake.  The bus backed up, then tried to go again.  The owner of the truck came running up and pulled over a little farther...not really upset about the scrape along the side of his truck.  The bus just went on like nothing happened.  Ha!  There were police all over the place there...driving around in jeeps with their guns slung over their shoulders...they saw the whole thing happen, but didn't even blink an eye at it.

  The driver took us to a beautiful beach where we could snorkel.  We went out a little ways and only saw a few tiny fish, but the farther we went out, we saw more and more fish.  It was kind of funny cause when we got to the edge of the roped off area where they wanted us to stay inside to snorkel...that's where all the fish were!  We would hold out our hands and they would swim up to us like they thought they were going to be fed.  I guess beyond the rope is where they take the tours for snorkeling and they give them food to feed the fish.  There were big schools of fish out there that were so pretty and colorful.  It was really neat to see.

Putting out the vibe...Dan and Kelley were killing me

This is our boat up against the Oasis of the Sea.  It's kind of mind boggling to see a ship this big....it's more like a small island. They were going around to the same islands we were so we got to see it up close a few times.

Well that's all my pictures...kind of hard to sum up this wonderful week...it flies by so quick.  I could have stayed another week and would have been very happy.  Besides all the pampering you get on the ship, Kelley sure does spoil me and treats me like a queen.  It was so great to get to spend that time with him.  And getting to go with this bunch of people was just the best.  They are so fun to be with and just the dearest of friends.  I'm so grateful for them and the many years of  friendship we have enjoyed.
