Our Cabin....we splurged a little to get an oceanview room
Pulling away from Port Canaveral on Sunday
The view from our cabin window
Monday: We both conquered the rock wall on the ship!
Jeff entered the belly flop competition. Here he is with his competitors:
His first flop off the side of the pool:
His second flop:
He won the silver medal! I was so proud. Check out his red belly!
Watching the ice skating show
This dude could do some amazing stuff in his circle!
Meeting Po (Kung Fu Panda)
One of the cute towel animals we'd find in our room
Formal Night....we were too cheap to buy the photographers pictures!
Examples of why we gained weight: Lobster tail and prime rib at the same meal!
A modern fairytale show
We loved the outdoor movies at the pool!
The view from the hot tub as we left Mexico
The dining room
The monkey
Me attempting the flo rider
First try....boo ya!
Jeff's photographer didn't do too well...ahem...
Trying the stand up surfing. If the girl would've let go of me earlier I think I would've been able to do it. Then they were closing it for the day so I only got that one chance.
Exhibit B: Key Lime Pie
We loved going to the game shows. This one was minute to win it. Jeff volunteered and then found out he got the shake out golf balls in the tissue box strapped to your backside game! Seriously I was crying from laughing so hard! I have the video ;)
Tuesday: Labadee, Haiti. A peninsula of Haiti owned by Royal Caribbean. Haiti is SO poor. Labadee used to be poorer but Royal Caribbean has brought a lot of tourism (and therefore, money and jobs) to the area and therefor the population has exploded the last several years. I never pictured Haiti being as mountainous as it is.
We did a kayaking excursion. We went from the privately owned peninsula over to Labadee Village where locals live. It was guided by a native of Labadee and he told us a lot of the history. It was humbling and eye opening. They eat 2 meals a day, and consider themselves rich because they have electricity and running water. When we got up to the village we were able to see their health clinic and some homes.

Our guide stopping to rest from paddling and teach us some more facts
After kayaking we got a couple of beach chairs and spent the rest of the day chilling in the water and laying out. My idea of a great day!
A BBQ lunch catered by the cruise
Seriously, my happy place
Wednesday: Falmouth, Jamaica. I LOVE Jamaica! I would love to come back here. Here we are pulling in to port. Where we docked looked so tiny, it made me respect the ships captain and crew that much more for being able to pull off stuff like this!
We are pulling in on the other side of the dock from this other big boy
Boarding our bus to take us off for our day of adventures!
We were about 40 minutes away from Dolphin Cove and Dunns River Falls. It was an enjoyable drive to get to see so much of real-life Jamaica, and get freaked out by everyone driving on the wrong side of the road =)
Someone is quite ambitious ;)
Dolphin Cove: Meeting Cometa, our dolphin friend from Mexico
What a beautiful animal!
Jeff getting a ride from Cometa
My turn!
Smooches
After swimming with the dolphins, our tour guide took us to another part of Dolphin Cove where you walk through a little but of jungle and see all kinds of exotic animals.
Posing with the green bird....see the yellow blob on the middle left side?
That blob wanted to be in our picture too....so fun!
Jeff's favorite bird...but he wasn't a people person so we were told not to get too close
Jeff modeling his water shoes on the way to Dunn's River Falls
The beginning of Dunn's River Falls. You start your hike where it empties into the beach and hike up. It's not a strenuous hike but it's gorgeous and very wet! You can see it's a definite tourist attraction, for good reason.
