Travel Tuesday: Violet Caribbean Liberty Of The Seas
It's Tuesday as well as you lot know what that means! Time for a recap of my weekend cruise to the Bahamas! H5N1 calendar week or thence earlier our trip to Hilton Head, Royal Caribbean reached out to me as well as some other friends for an all-expense paid trip to the Bahama Islands on their novel boat, Freedom of the Seas, for ourselves as well as a guest. Ummm how produce you lot say no to that?
It was simply a cruise for the weekend amongst solely journalists to effort out the novel shipping as well as reckon what nosotros think! My menage unit of measurement used to acquire on cruises all the fourth dimension when I was younger but I hadn't been on a boat since high school. So to say I was excited was an understatement. Plus the conditions was looking similar to a greater extent than snowfall inwards New York thence I could't hold off to acquire out! Here nosotros go:
FRIDAY:
I woke upwardly at the butt scissure of dawn as well as hopped inwards an Uber on the way to alternative upwardly Katie. We flew out of LGA as well as our flying was originally supposed to leave of absence at 9am as well as brand it to a greater extent than or less 12:30. However, the conditions was horrrrrible as well as nosotros didn’t leave of absence until 1pm, which was crude oil because nosotros had a motorcoach to select grip of as well as a boat to board. Talk well-nigh stressful…
Once nosotros landed nosotros ran to select grip of a motorcoach they sent for us (being belatedly as well as all the buses stopped running) as well as drove an hr to the port. We were the really in conclusion to board (see motion-picture present below) but were thence glad to receive got truly made it! We threw our materials inwards the room, made a quick alter as well as were off to notice the other girls!
Once nosotros boarded, nosotros were able to grab a quick seize amongst teeth to swallow earlier our security lesson. After that was over Danielle, Brent, Katie, Sydney, my sis as well as I changed inwards to our swimsuits as well as striking the hot tub amongst drinks inwards hand. We were able to select grip of the welcome aboard trip the calorie-free fantastic opening on the original deck as well as simply relax for a fleck earlier getting fix for dinner.
Getting fix was pretty awesome. We had a balcony inwards the room thence nosotros made certain to simply leave of absence that door broad opened upwardly the whole time. The persuasion was simply surreal. My room was too 2 doors downwardly from Syndey’s thence when I wanted to verbalize to her I would simply scream her holler as well as her piffling caput would popular out. It was hilarious.
(Sydney is wearing a bandeau bikini)
The grouping nosotros were amongst arranged a pre-dinner cocktail political party on the top deck of the cruise. The termination was filled amongst wonderful vino as well as bully food. We learned a piffling fleck to a greater extent than well-nigh the shipping as well as the Royal Caribbean Area cruise lines as well as thence nosotros were off to dinner. And yesteryear off to dinner I hateful spending thirty minutes to live on featherbrained as well as accept some pictures.
The dining hall was amazing. It sort of reminded me of the hall from the Titanic (minus the whole sinking thing). It was simply thence grand as well as beautiful..
Dinner was too amazing (I’ve been blessed amongst bully nutrient recently). I ordered a caesar salad as well as prime number rib (#redmeatlover) as well as both were really delicious. We too drank some ruby vino as well as bubbly thence the political party was rolling. My sis as well as I too managed to spilt a creme brûlée because equally you lot know, at that spot is e'er room for dessert ;)
After dinner the innovation was to acquire dorsum to the room to alter but nosotros got lost... haha. I don't know if you’ve ever been on a cruise before, but it is really slow to acquire turned around. I hateful this matter is HUGE as well as i incorrect plow or ride upwardly the contrary get upwardly as well as you’re done. Although it made for a proficient story.
Sydney, my sis as well as I were walking for well-nigh 5 minites downwardly the hallway when nosotros realized nosotros were going the incorrect way. We decided to brand upwardly for lost fourth dimension yesteryear running dorsum the other way to solely realize when nosotros got at that spot nosotros were on the incorrect side of the boat! We crossed over the library as well as finally constitute our room. (Champagne was lost inwards the making of this story)
Once dorsum inwards the room nosotros realized nosotros had lost the others as well as decided it was fourth dimension for bed. We ended upwardly missing out on a soundless disco that black but nosotros did receive got to live on fix to acquire at 7am the adjacent morning time thence I wasn’t all that upset.
SATURDAY:
Rise as well as shine! Goodness gracious it was an early on morning. We woke upwardly docked at the Bahama Islands as well as fix to accept on the day. Our grouping had planed to caput to the beach at Atlantis but unfortunately the conditions wasn't the best as well as because of the fell winds, the beach was closed. So instead nosotros constitute ourselves a piffling lagoon inwards the resort where nosotros decided to remain for the day.
Getting at that spot at 9am had it’s pros as well as cons. Pro beingness at that spot was no i else (read: children) there, the con beingness that goose egg was opened upwardly (read: bar) until 11. We snapped a few pictures (see what I wore here as well as here) as well as hung out on the beach. The H2O wasn’t all that mutual depression temperature thence I was able to acquire inwards for a bit.
The lagoon was too overnice because the H2O was thence withal as well as really clear. Not fifty-fifty a fish inwards sight! The persuasion wasn’t that bad either ;)
We boarded dorsum on to the boat to a greater extent than or less 1 as well as were off for to a greater extent than activities! Our grouping had reserved a mortal political party on the top deck at the Flow Rider station. I had e'er seen these on TV inwards their commercials but never had experienced i inwards existent life. Safe to say it was truly cool but too really terrifying. Also prophylactic to say I wasn’t wearing the proper bathing suit. Where’s that i slice when you lot demand it?!
Brent as well as I were totally game to effort it out spell Danielle, Katie as well as my sis were out but were sort plenty to tape as well as accept lots of pictures. And afterwards a piffling fleck of convincing, Sydney was on board (no pun intended—except if you’re reading this Steve— that pun is for you) as well as fix to go.
While I’ll leave of absence out the wonderful videos my sis recorded of my ride, I volition present you lot the improve photos of my experience. I solely had i lower outfit malfunction as well as 2 wipeouts which caused me to halt although my i regret was non doing it more. I mean, when are you lot going to live on able to produce that again?! After my ride, nosotros were able to properly say goodbye to the Bahamas!
Not pictured hither was the basketball game court, the mini golf game as well as the stone wall! All were upwardly on the top deck. It was similar a playground for adults! Haha I wishing I was able to banking concern check out to a greater extent than but the current of air was thence crude oil that all I wanted to produce afterwards beingness soaked on the menses passenger was to hop inwards a hot tub!
After the Flow Rider, nosotros decided to acquire dorsum to the hot tub as well as social club a few drinks. It was bully to simply sit down to a greater extent than or less as well as select grip of upwardly amongst everyone. There was too a piffling trip the calorie-free fantastic political party on the deck that I might have joined from the pool. After a few hours there, nosotros decided to residual upwardly as well as acquire fix for dinner as well as to a greater extent than drinks.
We had our encounter upwardly identify on the boat at a nicer bar on the ship. And thence earlier dinner nosotros sat to a greater extent than or less hanging out as well as waiting for everyone to live on ready. I loved these parts of the trip when nosotros tin all simply sit down to a greater extent than or less as well as talk. We acquire into the WEIRDEST conversations I swear but it's e'er a proficient fourth dimension amongst a lot of laughs. Around 8, nosotros were finally fix for dinner. Tonight was yummy yummy Mexican!
Once in i trial again the nutrient was to leave of absence for. The tabular array side guac was of course of report the best component as well as equally I'm certain you've done before, I filled upwardly on it earlier the meal. We ordered similar i of everything from the card for us to portion as well as had a bully dinner. We went to a greater extent than or less the tabular array as well as each of us said what our favorite component of the trip was. It was fun to listen everyone's responses.
After dinner it was dorsum to the room for a quick alter as well as thence to the bar for some to a greater extent than drinks. Later on inwards the black nosotros constitute ourselves at a pianoforte bar! SING U.S.A. H5N1 SONG YOU PIANO MAN!
He was bully but nosotros sadly solely caught a yoke songs earlier the black was over. After a few songs, nosotros constitute a pizza eating theater on the shipping where nosotros grabbed a quick seize amongst teeth to swallow thence nosotros were off to bed.
