Wednesday Weigh In.....On Thursday!

Last Weigh In Weight: 167lbs (5/6)
This Wednesday’s Weight: 167

Sorry for the delay! I actually wrote the entire thing yesterday but had not finished yet so I didn't post and then the day got away from me!

My trip was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I will definitely be a cruiser for life; it is absolutely the way to vacation! The cruise ship was HUGE and there were like 14 flights of stairs so I decided to take advantage and so I basically took the stairs everywhere I went. Once or twice I took the elevator but that was about it. They also have a track on like the 11th floor outside that if you walk around it 7 times it equals a mile so I did that once. I got lost a lot on the ship lol so I walked the entire length of the ship countless times just trying to find my way around lol. I never went to the gym itself but I definitely stayed active.

Nassau, Bahamas was beautiful. We had a nice tour and spend the day on the Sandyport Beach and swam around with Sea Turtles. =) 

St. Thomas easily had the most gorgeous Landscape with all the hills. It rained a bit and was a little scary going up the HUGE hills and taking hairpin turns although. The beach, Magen’s Bay was really awesome. It was like in between to huge hills so you were in a valley basically and because it was a bay, there were no waves. It was the most clam water, really pretty. 

St. Maarten had really pretty landscape as well but not as beautiful as St. Thomas. We had a really nice tour in St. Maarten, spent a little time shopping and an hour or so at a nice beach. It definitely had the best shopping out of all three places I went to. I can’t really say which I liked best; I liked them all for very different reasons.

The ship itself was one of the best parts of the trip. There were endless things to do for entertainment. Big productions every night in what they call the “Encore Theater”, comedy shows, live music in several areas, karaoke, trivia games. Then there are the pools and Jacuzzi’s and the huge water slide. I would definitely suggest never go on a cruise that has more port days than days at sea, you want them equal at least so you can really enjoy the ship.

I have not gotten around to sorting my pictures yet, there are a lot of them! I will go through them and post them all in a couple of days! =) Glad to be back to the blogging world!

I have been a cruiser since 1996!! We have one scheduled for March 2012 and it cant get here fast enough. This will be my first cruise as banded. So glad you had so much fun. There is a web site where you can go and get a lot of good cruise info, message boards, reviews, etc. I hope you dont mind me putting it on here. If so, sorry!! It is www.cruisecritic.com. I have been a member for ever it seems like and have learned a lot from more seasoned cruisers than myself. They also have roll calls where you can find your ship and join to meet others while on the cruise - which is a lot of fun. Great job on the maintain while on vacation!
