It's been a week since arriving back from a wonderful week Crusin' the Caribbean Stampin' Up! style! Getting back into the swing of things isn't easy after being spoiled from sunrise to sunset and then some! We really missed the girls and were happy to return. We had a fabulous time and met some great new friends while visiting with some "old" friends too.
From L to R: Dawn O. is a "new" friend, me, Barb and Kristyne--(I met Barb and Kristyne at Founder's Circle--along with a whole lot of other awesome ladies!) This is in the lobby of the Puerto Rico Sheraton Hotel. It is recently renovated and just beautiful!
Sunday, April 25th we set sail from Puerto Rico--spent all of Monday at sea and arrived in Barbados on Tuesday morning. Embarking was a new experience--of course it was since this was our first cruise... :p Everything went smoothly. It's quite impressive considering 3,000+ passengers were welcomed aboard over a period of several hours.
Kurt and I went exploring while waiting for our luggage to be delivered to our room. The ship was over 12 stories! The first floor is where the crew stays. The second through 9th was for the guests. There were restaurants, art galleries, a spa, a work out room, an ice skating rink, a casino, lots of shops, a mini golf course, a rock climbing wall, a roller blading rink, jogging track, basketball court and much more! Unbelievable! It is a city on the water! Here is a photo of the pool deck. The seasoned, knowledgeable cruisers hand carried their swim attire on to the ship and wasted no time in getting out to bask in the sun.
I'll share more on the cruise later... Along with some other great stuff...Thanks for stopping by!
Stampin; Smiles!
