Honeymoon, finally!

[Halon]

The stop is in Nassau in the Bahamas. Then from there we can do a shore excursion that takes us wherever. Atlantis is one of the options, but we are leaning towards Blue Lagoon actually.

Agree'd, time away is good! Hope yours is going well :)

Awesome! I want to do a cruise sometime! Hope its a good time and I really hope the captain doesn't want to wave at the people on shore.

PS.

I would love to visit that beach on the end of the runway and watch a 747 fly over. SEEECKS!

That looks similar like a Carnival cruise boat. I've been on 2 Carnival cruises. Spectacular ocean view on 9th level. Both to the Bahama's. I'd do it over again and probably will within a year. The cruise provides free food and juice. Water, soda, and alcohol are not free. Alcohol is "normal" pricing. 4 beers for 20 bucks. Water is 4 bucks per bottle. They place soda and water in your room so if you take one, expect it to be on your bill at the last day of the cruise. I usually just bought local beer which is a lot cheaper. One thing you should do is get some island food! Their food is delicious! Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is a very beautiful place! Your boat will be landing near the Royal Towers Hotel where most of the cruise ships board. I can tell you more but I'm sure you're tired of reading this already.

That Norwegian cruise boat on the inside looks luxurious compared to the Carnival.

One cool thing about Norwegian is that they call it "freestyle" cruising. The Carnival ones we were looking at, it had set meal times that we had to pick from. Norwegian, it's free food all day at any of the restaurants. No set times, just show up at any of the restaurants whenever you want to eat, in whatever clothes you want to wear. The exception is they have a couple fancier places (like the hibachi we booked) that require a reservation, and like $20/person.

Carnival also serves food all day. Buffet's are certain times but they serve all kinds of food anytime of the day. There's a "fancy" dinner every night which is top notch service. I even ordered 2 plates of lobster because it was delicious! Best part is that "fancy" dinner is included in the cruise ticket so we didn't have to pay extra.

Cruise was fucking awesome!! So we flew to Miami for basically free (Thanks Delta miles). Got there and got to our hotel that we stayed 1 night in for free (thanks holiday inn points). Hotel was called the Inter Continental. Fanciest hotel I've ever been in, normally $400/night. Got us a room with an ocean view, and when they found out it was our honeymoon they gave us a free bottle of wine. It was right near downtown, Ferrari's, Porsche's, Aston Martin's, Maserati's galore.

Our boat was phenominal. Biggest boat at every port, you could tell everyone wished they were on ours. Excellent mix of being nice and fancy, but not uptight so still able to have tons of fun and party all night. Crew was so friendly. Tons of different restaurants, venues, 3 waterslides, bunch of pools/hot tubs, casino, bowling alleys, entertainment, basically impossible to ever be bored while on this ship.

The ports were awesome. We found the airport beach at St. Maarten, went snorkeling in St. Thomas and had a sting ray swim right up to me and past me about 6" away. Saw a huge baracuda. In Nassau, Bahamas we swam with 2 dolphins. The did the foot push thing at the end and pushed us across their lagoon area. Unforgettable experiences

Met a real cool couple from India (live in AZ now) and a group from Mexico City. Made it a lot more fun meeting some new people.

Would definately recommend this to anyone considering it, so awesome. The only negative thing is the drink bill at the end, but oh well whatever.


Here's a few pics. There's some more on FB for those who are friends with me. Also a vid of us getting blasted at the beach :)
