Our First Cruise
Posted On 2010-04-03 , 8:09 AM
Hello again to all our fellow travelers.
 I have yet to write about our last travel quest--we finally decided on a week long cruise to the Western Caribbean. Well worth it; there is so much to do on board as well as so many options for the onshore days. We had a blast!
The whole trip began with a flight from Calgary to Miami, where we had an overnight and time for a nice dinner. And then the next morning our cruise began.....on Valentine's Day.....
Upon boarding with the courteous and friendly staff at Norwegian Cruise Lines, we toured the ship and signed up for a romantic couples massage complete with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to celebrate valentines day.
In total we had 3 days at sea and 4 days onshore, our ports of call included Roatan Honduras, Belize City, Belize, Costa Maya, Mexico and The Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. There were many optional excursions at each port and we opted for one in each.
In Roatan we did the Tabyana Beach Party. It's a beautiful beach but the weather was a little on the cool side while we were there, apparently unusual for that time of year but none the less we were able to relax and enjoy. Then we headed out on our own to the markets.
 In Belize we did the Rappelle and Zip Line Tour--very much recommended--even for those with a little fear of heights like me.
In Costa Maya, we did the city tour and beach break. Spent some time on the beach, toured the little town and then headed out on our own.
In the Great Stirrup Cay, we did yoga on the beach, we went parasailing and did all sorts of beach related activities. A great way to end the trip. It was a beautiful warm sunny day and we got a great tan.
All in all, we will definitely try a cruise again, both on and off shore there are so many things to do and enjoy.
 The ship has a fitness centre, spa, casino, many different restaurants, internet cafe, karaoke, bingo, pool, hot tubs, outdoor running track, basketball, tennis, soccer, discos, live entertainment every night, and so much more.
The food was great, the staff friendly, there was no timetable and to top it all off we got engaged!!! Which leads us to wedding plans and where to go for our honeymoon.....any ideas????
Once again safe and happy Travels,
