Caribbean Trip 2013 Day 8 (April 5, 2013): No Bingo Boogie

It’s a sad day aboard the Celebrity Reflection as today marks the end of our seven-day Caribbean cruise. We are at sea again today which means it’s all about relaxation. We woke up at 9AM when room service called and said they were bringing our breakfast. We ordered our smallest order of the week we both just got a banana smoothie and I had some bananas and strawberries.

Caribbean Trip 2013 Day 7 (April 4, 2013): Jenn Loves Crepes

We are now done with our three Caribbean stops and have two at-sea days and then we are back in Miami and on our way home. Although its sad at how fast this vacation is its refreshing to know that the last two days of the cruise will be relaxing at-sea days. This morning we once again slept in, well in fact I slept in while Jenn woke up at around 8:30 I managed to finally stir up at around 9:30.

Caribbean Trip 2013 Day 6 (April 3, 2013): The Rope Hike v. The Flying Pizza

Yesterday was a great relaxing day. When Jenn and I got on the cruise we realized that having back to back beach days probably wasn’t necessary. So we instantly tried to figure out something to do on our last stop on the cruise, St. Kitts. From what the lady at the excursion counter was saying that one of the best things to do was hike in the rain forest. Jenn and I enjoy a good hike once in a while so we booked it.

Caribbean Trip 2013 Day 5 (April 2, 2013): Beach Break

After a great day in Puerto Rico we are now on to our second stop of the cruise, St Martin. We went back and forth on the type of excursion we wanted to do in St. Martin and landed on the most popular excursion, which is called the Afternoon Beach Break. The excursion takes you to the very popular Orient Bay, which is supposed to be the nicest beach on the island.

But as you may have noticed we booked an “afternoon” excursion which meant we had the morning free. So in typical Joel & Jenn fashion we slept in until 9ish and barely made it up in time to order the breakfast room service. We have said it in past cruises but we never sleep better then when we are on a cruise. There is something too the fact that you are being rocked to sleep every night, and that we are lazy and love to sleep.

Caribbean Trip 2013 Day 4 (April 1, 2013): Authentico

I have to be honest I kind of forgot we had stops on the cruise. We were both so relaxed after our day at sea that you forget you need to get off the ship once in a while. Today was our first stop and was San Juan, Puerto Rico. We didn’t arrive to San Juan until 3PM so we had sort of a half at-sea day. We woke up at 9:30 in the morning and ordered room service for breakfast. Jenn had pancakes and I had two eggs over easy.

Caribbean Trip 2013 Day 3 (March 31, 2013): ‘Mass’ive Sun

Today started the first full day on the cruise. We woke up this morning to our room service at around 9AM. For breakfast Jenn got Belgian waffles and a banana smoothie and I had a ham and cheese omelet with a berry smoothie. This was another perk of the Aqua Class stateroom was having an expanded breakfast menu for room service and we took advantage of it.
