Week Fifty-One: Bahamas Cruise!

I went on a cruise with Martia, our last week rooming together :'( We found a 4-night Bahamas cruise with Royal Caribbean out of Port Canaveral for $360 each including taxes. We had a stop in Cococay and a stop in Nassau, with a day at sea.

January 8th (Monday): I dropped my car off to be picked up by the car shipping guy, then Martia and I headed to Port Canaveral! We set sail around 4pm and we spent the afternoon/evening exploring the ship before dinner. All dinners were a set menu with three courses, and you could pick your dish for each course (there was a choice of roughly 8-12 for each course, 5-ish for dessert).




January 9th (Tuesday): We spent the day in Cococay which Royal Caribbean's privately owned island in the Bahamas. The weather wasn't super warm but we still had fun :) Then at night it was formal night for dinner so we got to dress up!!









January 10th (Wednesday): We spent the day in Nassau at Atlantis Aquaventure (the water park part of Atlantis) and it was another coldish rainy day but we still had a BLAST!!! The water park is amazing. They had a rapids river (think lazy river but way better), a bunch of tube slides, some body slides, a to of pools, aquarium access, and beach access.











January 11th (Thursday): This was our day at sea, and the nicest day of the cruise!! We got to sleep in, easy to do since our bed was INCREDIBLY comfortable. Also we had a wonderful shower with high water pressure. We spent most of the day on the deck, sunbathing, and in the pool. Oh, and eating. The cruise had free self-serve soft-serve (BLESS). We also got to use our free $5 casino credit, where we won some money then lost it all. We also got to finally catch a sunset, and got to finally go to an event! We joined in on both Battle of the Sexes (hilarious men vs women games/competitions) and Quest (kind of a scavenger hunt). TONS of fun and a great way to end our cruise.




January 12th (Friday): We got back into Port Canaveral around 7am and got off the boat around 8:30am. It's super close to Cocoa Beach so we went to Cocoa for a quick beach trip and got some Thai for lunch then headed back to Orlando. We went to Disney Springs and saw Star Wars again, then she dropped me at Jenna's for the night.

January 13th (Saturday): I spent most of the day watching movies at Jenna's, then when she got home from work we went to Universal Studios for a quick trip where we literally just got hot Butterbeer and bought my sister's Christmas gift. Then Toothsome for dinner and a trip back to Jenna's where we watched A Cinderella Story!!

January 14th (Sunday): So this technically hasn't happened yet as it's Saturday night, but Michaelene is using a guest pass to get me and her parents into Hollywood Studios tomorrow, then I'm going to go see the Greatest Showman again tomorrow night with some circus friends! Woooooo!

Trying desperately to catch up on everything since I was off the grid for the cruise, but I'm finally there. I leave Wednesday the 17th to move back home and it's HITTING me. So bittersweet.
