Earlier this month we were lucky to be able to go on a cruise. Ray and I have been on several cruises before and enjoyed them all, but this was a cruise like no other. We were on the Allure of the Seas, the mother of all cruise ships. It was new, it was massive, and it was incredible .
We were not super excited about the ports, but decided to go because the ship was so impressive. The Allure, and its sister ship, are the largest cruise ships in the world. On board there was a shopping mall, a boardwalk with a full size merry-go-round, a park with benches & trees, a mini golf course, two rock climbing walls, an ice skating rink, two surfing pools, and a zip line. There were several show rooms and even a outdoor Aqua theater. It was spring break so the ship was at full capacity, almost 6400 passengers! Amazingly, the ship did not feel crowded and we never had to wait in line.
Unlike our last lazy vacation, this time we were a little more adventurous. We took advantage of more of the activities than most, including the zipline, flowrider, pools, casino, and shows, which made the days at sea really fun. We went on excursions hiking up the middle of the Dunn River Waterfall and even rode horses in the ocean! Ray went scuba diving in Cozumel while I visited with the captain of the dive boat. We went to bed exhausted each night and slept better than we had in a long time.
I always judge how good a vacation is by whether or not I would want to go back with my family. This one I definitely would!
