I just got home from the best vacation of my life! For Christmas, I had the opportunity to go on a cruise in the Caribbean with my family and my dad's best friend from college and his wife. Not only was it warm outside, but the sites that I saw were absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen water so clear in my life and trees so green and lush. We started the cruise in Puerto Rico then preceded to St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Croix, St. Thomas, and then back to Puerto Rico again. The islands were spectacular.
Eventhough the islands were amazing one of the best parts was the food. Everywhere I turned there was food, not just any food but delicious food. I don't think I have had that much steak in a row ever. There was no limit to what type of food was offered and how much offered. You name it they had it. Food from all over the world, food I had never even heard of. They didn't just have all these weird foreign foods but they also had American favorites like burgers and pizza and icecream. Yet, I never ate any of that because I knew I could have that as soon as I reached the states.
Not only was their food and incredible views but there were countless things to do while on the boat. There was ping pong, mini golf, basketball courts, pools, arcades, clubs, a movie theater, a theatre for live performances, a casino, pool tables, jumbo checker boards and more. Yes more. I could live there forever and never get bored. There were nemerous events you could sign up for too, like the belly flop contest. The first day we were on the boat, Christmas day, there was a contest to see who could make the biggest splash. My dad signed up. Boy, was that embarrassing! Five big men jumping in a pool with their bellies out. Before they jumped each was introduced and did a little something. Personally, I think that my dad had the best and most creative dance, but I won't go into much detail. He was introduced last as the one wthat would make a tsunami, and he was pretty close to doing just that. Sadly, he lost to the guy with a santa beard, but he really had the best jump. The only reason he lost was it was Christmas, but he is still bitter that he lost.
Lastly, there were incredible people on the ship. I met so many new people that I would now consider friends. Every person that worked on the ship greeted you with a smile and asked how your day has been. Personally, I said hi to everyone that I made eyecontact with, and most of the time that went over really well. I met people from all over the globe. I met friends from Puerto Rico, Colombia, Canada, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Chile, and so on. Everyone was so happy to be living and enjoyed the experience. If anyone ever gets the chance, I definitely recommend going on a cruise for a week. It will be an experience you will never forget.
