Cruising in the Caribbean

As a graduation present gift to myself I went on an 8 day cruise with two of my friends to the Western Caribbean. The cruise left from Miami and we made four stops at Cayman Islands, Honduras, Belize and Cozumel Mexico. We left on Sunday May 29 and returned on Sunday June 5.
Monday and Saturday were "fun days at sea" and so we spent those days getting massages, eating soft serve ice cream, laying out, visiting the buffet, going to comedians and eating some more.
For those of you that have been on cruises before know that when you are on the ship there are photographers EVERYWHERE and at first we just annoyed them but then we decided to embrace the camera love and from Tuesday night on out we went to every single photo booth ad by the end of the week they had taken over 200 photos of us, it was pretty great.
The two friends who I went with were Jamie Kidd and Brittny Harris.

So on the ship they had about 12 soft serve ice cream machines, this was not a good discovery. I probably ate my weight in that ice cream. It was so yummy!
When we were in Belize we went on a 'Raiders of the Lost Mayan Cave' tour which included zip lining, rock climbing and belaying. It was awesome!
The beach in Cozumel Mexico
In Mexico we went on a tour of the Mayan Ruins....SOOOO COOL!

This was in the center of the towns square in Cozumel
These are our guides for when we went in the Mayan Caves.
The beautiful beach we went to in Honduras
In the Cayman Islands we went to a turtle farm. At this farm they had a turtle that was over 300 years old and weighed 565 pounds, I had no idea they could get that big.
Also in the Cayman Islands we went swimming with dolphins...this is me with Alma.

I had an absolute blast on my cruise and I can't wait to plan and go on another trip!
