Oh, Jamaica was scarey..We were going to run across the street to look for a jersey in a store for my g-son. My hubby is about 6'1", this big black guy that had a pimp hat on, must have been about 6'8", he tried getting us to go down an alley. we said NO..he said you scared of me..hubby said no..I'm sitting here thinking, well, I am..scared the living chit out of me..anyway, he kept trying and trying to get us to go down this alley, probably to mug us and then kill us..I have no desire to ever go back there

My husband and I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise from Miami to Bahamas and back (it was a short one-three days). We had a blast! I would highly recommend RCCL to anyone! I agree with the people who said Nassau is a tourist trap...so many beggars just waiting for you as soon as you step off the ship. We ended up going to Atlantis for the day..which is beautiful..but don't go there without a credit card. We accidently left our credit cards on the ship, and Atlantis works on a cashless system and we couldn't even rent a locker to put our stuff in so we could do the water slides. They refused CASH! That was really our only negative experience. We really enjoyed RCCL's private island, Coco Cay. It was awesome....could have just layed around that beach for a few more days! We did do parasailing..which if you've never done..you need to do...it's fantastic and not scary at all!

This is sooooo depressing. I have never been anywhere or done anything. My life has always been about the kids.....they are 17 and 19 now, we have started over with a 11 week old. They are the JOY of my life, but surely I can find some me time. A cruise has always been a dream of mine.....what do they start at for a decent trip, I don;t need all the bells and whistles. I am sure a river boat dinner cruise would do me good....lol

Oh I am so excited for you and can't wait to hear all about it. We are going on a western caribbean cruise the week of Thanksgiving. We are going out of Tampa and going to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Honduras. Our shore excursions are still up in the air so please let me know what y'all do and what you think. Have a blast!

Awww, You should take some time out for you! FYI, cruises are great for kids too, they have activities for them. Maybe not for you little one though. Cruises can be very reasonably priced. a 3 day one can be as low as $400 per person...I hope you get to go on one soon!

I am excited for you too! I saw that cruise too. But i got a really good deal on the one I chose. I hope you have lots of fun! Cruises are so relaxing

We are going on December 13th. We live in Ca so we are going to take a red eye to Orlando on the 12th and get there in the morning of the 13th.
