Family Ramblings
Family Ramblings
When I was talking to Allison at Christmas she said she would like to hear about our cruise. So here it is.
We went with 6 other people. John, Allyson their kids Jason and Emily also two other 15 year girls. Kelsea and Michelle. it was wonderful, the teen agers were able to do what they wanted on the ship and we only saw them about once a day unless we were in port. We sailed on Jewell of the Seas, Royal Carribean one of their newest ships. It was very fancy, the adults both had a suite with a balcony and the TA's were in inside cabins. We sailed from Fort Lauderdale and stopped in San Juan Perto Rico we were there from 5 to 10pm so we just shopped and walked around. It was very old and the buildings looked like some pictures I have seen of Cuba, colorful and ornate. We then sailed to St. Maarten it is part Dutch and part French. Wilf and three of the TA's went ziplining on a canapy tour, they enjoyed it but Wilf pulled a ligament in his leg so was hobbeling (sp) when he got home, they did give him rum so he was not too bad. It did not stop him from enjoying the trip. Allyson is a nurse and John was an EMT so we were well looked after. We then went to Angua and went snorkelling and on a catameran. Next we went to St. Thomas the virgin Islands, it is a US protectorate so very American we were looking for food from the area but only found regular american fast food. Wilf and some TA's went parasailing this was a high light for a couple of kids. After that we went to Nasau the bahamas, it was quite English then back to fort Lauderdale.
I enjoy the sailing the most, it is very soothing and beautiful horizons. We had two days that we sailed all day, for the most part between ports we sailed at night. The Balcony's were the way to sail, as the rooms are small the ship has a lot fo people on it so it is good to have a place to your self.
I would recommend cruising for anyone and will go again, I would like to sail to Europe that would be terrific.
Take care everyone and have a great 2007

Your cruise sounds really delightful-if I was into cruising, I'd try it!
It all sounds great even with all those TAs along.
