We started out by hitting the Landings in Jacksonville on Wednesday night, and as happened most nights on this cruise, we ended up closing the place down.
We had a great time meeting at Passage to India for our orientation meet and greet. During one of our icebreaker games Ernie had the pleasure (??) of having his picture taken with the Chuckster while he was wearing lipstick, a bra, and holding a fruit in his mouth… please no one save THAT picture!!
Our next day at sea was a LOT calmer than the night before, and we spent the day playing games, speed-dating, and having a BLAST! Everyone was having a blast with the wine crawl where we discovered that battery-operated bottle openers do exist! Everyone looked awesome for Formal Night, and I lost count of the lobsters we took out that night. We had so much great wine left over after the Cabin Crawl, we just HAD to find an excuse to finish it all.
By the time we got to Nassau, everyone was excited to get off the ship and snorkel. Those of us who braved the bus ride to snorkel even got the chance to get into the water with sharks! I am really proud of the first-timers who braved the water and snorkeled…you all did great!
Our next stop was Freeport, Bahamas and our guests had a great time exploring the island from Port Lucayan to the Rocks. By the time we made it back to the ship, we managed to get some of the guys away from Sunday football to join our karaoke party, and even had enough energy for an impromptu party up on the deck that night!
We had an AWESOME time and an AMAZING group on this cruise, and Tara and Ernie can’t wait to see you all again soon and “feel the love”!
