Cruise

A few weeks ago Carla and I had the amazing opportunity (thank you Mom and Dad) to embark on our first cruise with the family. We sailed out of New Orleans with stops at Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. We didn't really know what to expect going into it but we came away very much impressed with the entire experience. Some of the highlights included:

•  Food - endless amounts of delicious food. Both buffett and plated options. One night we even had unlimited Lobster tails!
• Weather - Always warm, never too hot, plenty of sun.
• Entertainment - shows every night, various trivia contests, a climbing wall, and I even played in a 3 v 3 basketball tournament with the bros. We were bounced in the elite 8.
• River Rafting - we all either kayaked or boogy boarded down a river in Jamaica through the rapids. 

One thing I would say about the cruise is that you definitely forget that you are on a ship in the middle of the ocean. The interior of the ship feels like you are in a mall. or a restaurant, or a casino.  There is even a sports bar, Irish pub, video arcade, dance club, and many more things on board. If you ever have the opportunity to go cruising, I would highly recommend. It is not just for the retired folks.
