Vacation

So I am FINALLY getting a chance to recap on our cruise last month.  My husband, Jeff, and I left out of Puerto Rico for a 7 day Southern Caribbean cruise aboard the Adventure of the Seas.

We had a tiny little room with a balcony on the ninth floor.

Bad picure but you get the gist.  The opened door on the left is the tiny bathroom.

Bed.  Door to the balcony is on the other side of the curtain.

We spent the first full day of the cruise at sea.  After a day of traveling and very little sleep we spent a lot of the day relaxing.  We did attend a cooking demonstration.  It is amazing what they can make out of a watermelon.

Carving away!

Along with a buffet style dinning room on board, Windjammer Cafe', and the main dinning room, the ship also had 2 other dinning efforts to include a fine Italian dinning option, Portofino, and an American favorite, Johnny Rockets. We tried them both out throughout the week. On the first day we went to Johnny Rockets. We had a great server and the good was great!

Big burgers!

The first night ended with formal night so we got all dressed up!

When we got back to our room we had a towel bat waiting.

It was a great first day. 

Next stop is a 8:00am arrival in Bridgetown, Barbados. We spent the morning in Barbados by taking a taxi downtown and looking at some of the shops.  During the afternoon we took a tour to a local beer distillery rum distillery.  The tour included samples at each location including the local favorite, Rum Punch.

First stop was to Banks Beer.

Second stop was Mount Gay Rum. 

Overall Barbados was not our favorite place.  Maybe it would have been a little better if we got to go more into the island but sadly the negative thing about a cruise is you only have a limited time at each port and by 5:00pm we were sailing to St. Lucia.

More to come on our vacation soon!
