This morning we woke up bright and early, hit up the breakfast buffet, and got off the ship to see Labadee. We went on the Dragon's tail coaster for $22 (or $24, I can’t remember). You pay by cart not by person, so since we shared a cart it was much cheaper. We fit just fine and it was fun going together. It was a really short ride, not really worth $22 but the views were awesome and I would recommend going once. Kyle did the water slide too. I didn’t...

This morning we got up and got some coffee from Park Café. I had read that it's pretty bad and that’s true, but it’s also free so I can live with it. We wondered around looking at some of the breakfast venues. Wipeout Café offers omelets cooked to order so I wanted to see what sides they had. It was a limited selection of bacon, fruit, and some bread. They only offer a few fillings for omelets like ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, and one or two mo...

This morning we got up at 6, packed up the car, dropped the dogs off at doggie daycare and drove 3.5 hours to Fort Lauderdale. We got on the ship around noon.

I had read numerous reviews about their roast beef sandwiches and a friend at my old job told me about them, so I wanted to try one. They definitely live up to the hype. Kyle didn't r...

I finally graduate with my master's degree on June 13. I tend to not acknowledge my accomplishments, so when I ran the idea of a cruise by my husband to celebrate he was all for it. Since I've been interning almost full time and he's working full time we barely see each other. We don't get any days off together. Once I graduate I'll be getting a full time job and then these long vacations won't be happening for a long time. We've been talking about having kids so...

Well, all good things must come to an end. Going home this time isn't nearly as sad as it usually is though. We live in Florida now where everyday is like a vacation. Plus in two days we get a puppy! That's right, we're getting a boy Golden Retriever (Bailey) to add to our family. He'll be joining our eight year old female Golden, Raina. Anyway our last two days were at sea and I thought for sure we'd get bored. I thought wrong. We took advantage of a few sales...
