We flew into Tampa on Saturday & stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn. Went to the mall that night, did a little last minute shopping and had my first Chick-fil-a. Yumm! Their breakfast was wonderful, with homemade omelets and make it your self waffles. Very nice hotel, for a reasonable price.Found boarding the ship to be relatively painless. At sea day is a blur to me. I think we went to a hairy chest contest. The winner was an awesome guy! In Cozumel we took a cab to a place called the Money Bar. I got to practice snorkeling there. (my 1st time) Also enjoyed the most awesome 1 hour massage right there on the beach! Had some food, drinks and sun before returning to port and lots of shopping. We took a tender to Goff's Caye at Belize. What an awesome experience! The guys were all very nice. We had a wonderful guided snorkel around the reefs. AWESOME!!! Then free time to snorkel more if you wanted, or look around or tan or visit. It was really REALLY nice! Back to ship, then into port for more shopping. In Roatan we went to Gumbalumba Park (or something like that) We did the clear Kayaking there. It was very cool. Afterwards I hung out at the freshwater pool, while my friend went out to snorkel a little. (I had over indulged the night before, so was not up to more snorkeling this day) My friend said it was better snorkeling than Belize, but it could have been because this was a very small group of snorkelers. There was also a park where you could see monkeys and such, but we didn't have time. In Grand Cayman we took the Allura Catamaran to Stingray City! It was FABULOUS! It was kind of scary when we arrived and saw all the stingrays, but the staff are great with helping you around them. By the time we left, I loved holding and even kissing the Stingrays! I highly recommend this to anyone who has not done it. The Allura was gorgeous & the staff was Fantastic! :) Aboard ship I would give shout outs to Jay LaBoy, a wonderful singer/guitar player who I spent many hours watching and singing along to. He's very talented, and is now playing on the Carnival Fascination. If you ever cruise with them, be sure to check him out. Also our room got upgraded to #7157. It was really nice! Our room steward Olvin was the best! Always so smiley and eager to please. We did flex dining and so happy we did. It was awesome. Had apps and dinner and desert and cappuccino every night. Joel was my very favorite waiter there. The comedy shows were good. The karaoke with the band (in large auditorium) was better than the karaoke bar. The Piano bar was a little too laid back for me. I like to sing along and this guy was much more mellow than I could take. There was another guy - Crazy John? Yeah...I so did NOT like him. At all! He was really creepy. Kudos to all who helped in boarding and leaving the ship. It could have been a nightmare, but I think it went really well. "Wee Jimmy" is some kind of awesome!
