Western Caribbean Cruise 2009

Last week I went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean with a few of my friends. We stayed in Miami the first night and then boarded the ship for a week of fun in the sun. I took about 200 photos along with Angies 300 photos. So here are just a few.


Our first stop....Dash in Miami.
We went to the beach initially and then headed over to dash to say hi to Kourtney and Khloe. Too bad they were out of town that day.

The night we became Celebrities on the boat.....people loved us and recognized us everywhere we went. When we met people they always started off the conversation with, "Hey, your the girls from the dance club the first night!" It was awesome!

Our first dress up night at dinner. We loved our head waiter, MC, and our other waiter, Erwan (or two, or three, or four). They were awesome!
We decided to sing a little karaoke on the ship....You got to love Journey!

Our first port....Grand Cayman
We took a boat ride out to Sting Ray City and swam with some huge sting rays. (Hopefully there will be pictures of that to come) Then we headed over to the coral reef to snorkel.
Jake, the Captain, cut up some conch for us to eat. It was really delicious, except for the spaghetti string thingy. It made me gag.

The three tour guides were fans of the Utah Girls so they let us drive their boat. It was a blast!

Getting off the boat in Roatan, Hondouras.



We spent the day on the beach in Roatan and then did a little shopping.

Our next stop was Belize. We went spellunking, rapelling, and ziplining. It was so much fun except we were eaten alive by mosquitos.

Ziplining to the finish!

They fed us BBQ after our adventure. It was great lizard!

Our last stop was Cozumel. Another beach day. The beaches weren't as beautiful as Roatan, but it was tons of fun with all the water toys. We also did a lot of shopping here.

Here's our group of friends from Key West and Ft. Lauderdale. We had a great time with them and will definitely be planning another trip with this group.

Mike and Mike in the morning with me and Rachel.

J, Jorge, and JJ....our friends from Puerto Rico. This was the last day waiting our turn to get off the boat. I think we were the last ones off the boat.

It was a FABULOUS vacation. Thanks for the good times Jay, Ang, and Rachel!!! Until next time....
