Cruising






















We just returned from a cruise on the Carnival Liberty. It was a 6 night cruise to Bahama, Grand Cayman and Costa Maya. At Freeport, Bahama we took a taxi to a beach and practiced using our snorkel gear. At Grand Cayman we tendered ashore and did some shopping. The picture of the boat above is as the tender was leaving (we did not have to dive in and swim to shore as it seems in the picture!!). The scenic picture is of Grand Cayman as we arrived. It was so windy when we got to Costa Maya that they weren't able to dock the boat so we had an extra day at sea. We had a really smooth sailing except for the day and a half getting to and from Costa Maya.
At dinner we were assigned a table with 3 other "fifty-something" couples. All had been married a long time and had grown kids and grandkids, which gave us alot in common. We enjoyed the company each night. The pictures above are of our table mates. Our table was at the back of the dining room against the window with a great view of the ocean and sky. Our server, Adriana, was great and we had alot of fun with her. The food was very good and our previous experiences gave me the confidence to order 2 lobsters on formal night!! And for dessert...Warm Chocolate Melting Cake...need I say more?
Overall, we relaxed, had a good time and met some nice people.
