Allure of Seas

We were fortunate enough to take our second cruise (a delayed honeymoon) back in May.  The ship was huge. Beyond huge. It is the biggest cruise ship in the world but still it's a mind blowing site. Our route was the Western Caribbean. We basically went counter clockwise around Cuba. We went to Haiti, Jamaica, and  Cozumel Mexico.

We had a balcony room and being able to step out and stare at the ocean for me is one of the most amazing things about cruising. The ocean is so vast and beautiful!

Our first three days were basically spent catching up on sleep, wandering around the ship, and eating.

We did the very fancy 150 Central Park on our second night of the cruise. It was a 7 course meal which we did with the wine pairing (very generous pours). The food and wine were phenomenal. It was fun to be foodies.

Here is the menu from 150 Central Park

Labadee, Haiti was the perfect beach day. We got chairs on the beach under some palm trees and napped. We also did a little swimming and shopping.

In Jamaica we ate some local food, shopped, and drank/ate a coconut. It was hot and humid and we just didn't feel like doing much!

Bo and I did a lot of other fun things! There is way too much to mention and way too many pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.

stay tuned... next blog entry is about our adventure with the whale sharks.
