Eastern Caribbean Cruise

For our 20 year anniversary and our good friends the Olson's 30 year anniversary we went on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas. It was a 12 day cruise with 6 ports. Our ports were Labadee, Haiti, Samana Dominican Republic, San Juan Puerto Rico, Charlotte Amalie St. Thomas, Philipsburg St. Maarten, and Tortola British Virgin Islands. We had a blast. We got to do things we wouldn't normally get to do. We left Baltimore on Monday Jan. 17 and sailed for 2 full days. The first full day was pretty rocky. I didn't get sick but did get a little queezy, but more because it was too cold to go outside to get fresh air. That was the worst day of the whole trip. The rest of it was pretty smooth. We did have a rocky day coming back, but it was still warm then so I could get fresh air, so I was fine.

We saw some great shows which include Hal Frazier (singer) , Jason Neistadt (comedian/impressionist) , Bruce Gold (comedian), Jeff Taveggia (juggler) , ZeidwiG (pianist/comedian) , Haines Magic (magician) , The Happenings (You should know this),David Morgan and Chucky (not as creepy as it sounds), and of course the Royal Caribbean dancers and singers.

We had a lot of fun doing our excursions. In Haiti, we just went to the beach. Tried to avoid the market there, they're pretty pushy. Samana, we went whale watching then shopping. Puerto Rico we went on a Segway tour. St. Thomas we went to Coral Land and Coral Sea (which wasn't my favorite place, since I walked on a dead rat. EEEEWWWWWW!!!!!) St. Maarten we did a treetop to treetop adventure, and then to the beach. Then Tortola we went snorkeling. Which I didn't like at first but once I got the hang of it, it was fun.

Of course we had some of the best food. But that goes without saying.

We had so much fun and have already committed to going on another cruise. We put a down payment on the next one, but we haven't decided when or where. But always fun to go with friends..
