We had my Dad drive us down to the Baltimore port about hour and half-left our house at 11:00 am-made good time-had good weather too! Wish my parents would have went along-but.....................we got on the ship rather quickly. Headed to the Lido deck for lunch-had some of that and checked out the area there-got into our room by 3:30 or so. It had a queen size bed and two bunk beds-of course the kids loved that. I unpacked a little then we headed out to the Muster drill-after that we wondered around checking out the ship-locating different areas. Went to dinner at 6:00 in the dining room-it was nicely decorated-the kids of course did not want to sit still-we were seated at a table for 8 but the other people never showed up. So we ate and then went to the show. That was on a Sunday- by Monday the seas were rocking and it was windy and cold. Sterling, our 4 yr old got sick, it didn't faze Grace, our 2 yr old. Butch & I were a little nauseous. So we spent alot of that day in the room snoozing and watching cartoons. :O) By Tues. the rocking subsided a little-they had a covered pool-so it was warmer in there-we went swimming for a little that day. Of course we ate alot-but I didn't gain any weight-YEA! We tried to watch some of the shows-when kids would sit still. Went to Karaoke a few nights-sang a few songs. On Wed. we were ported in Port Canaveral, Florida from 7 am -7 pm-got a taxi to the Brevard zoo- nice little zoo- kids enjoyed it-they fed a giraffe and some lorikeets (birds), it was nice to get off the ship-we made it back to the ship and went to dinner-it was the same time every night (6:00). It was a little cool in Florida in the shade-not sure of the temp. ON Thur. we were in Nassau, Bahamas from 10-9pm, it was warmer there-water was a little cool till you got wet and used to it. We took a taxi to Paradise Island and from there a ferry to Blue lagoon island to play with the dolphins. WOW-that was cool-- It was a beautiful place-no waves-clear water-sun, sun ,sun. Wish we had more time there-the last ferry left a 4:00-so we had to go back then- we went to the ship and got cleaned up and went to dinner. Then watched the people wonder back on the ship. On Fri. we were in Freeport, Bahamas from 7-2, now did I mention the kids were staying up till like midnight every night? Well they did not want to get up early so we didn't get of the ship till like 10:30-took a taxi to Our Lucaya area went to the beach there for about an hour-it was nice there-there was some waves there-Sterling liked them-they also had a water trampoline-

we made our way back to the ship-cause it left at 2:00 and you have to be back on board by 1:30. When we got back on the ship we went to the water slide that they have on board-Sterling was loving it till somehow he got turned around and hit the water at the bottom face first. LOL Of course they use salt water from the ocean-so it wasn't to nice-we made our way to the kiddie pool for a little while then down to shower for dinner. They had alot of nice food on the ship too. Always eating it seemed. LOL Nothing fancy needed for us-seemed we ate alot of pizza! Kids ate alot of fries too! We deff. went through the milk, between Hubby and the kids, day & night. We just asked them there at the dessert bar for the milk. We thought everyone was very nice on board. I would cruise again out of Baltimore just not in the winter months. Shoot I'm ready to go now!! Hope you all enjoy your cruise!! I'm ready to go again! Debbie
