I am taking a cruise!

I am taking my first non-work connected vacation in, well never, and I am going on a cruise!

The girl I am dating currently was shocked when she heard I had not taken a vacation in over 8 years, and she loves cruises so we booked the trip and come Saturday I will be out at sea.

The ship leaves out of Miami, a short 45 minute ride from my home, and makes stops in Grand Cayman (where I will be visiting a cousing who has lived there for a couple of years, there are Cubans everywhere!), and then Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I have no idea what to expect, only that I’ve been told there is lots of food.

I can’t wait!

lalenin - I thought you lived in Canada? Anyway, have a wonderful time.

Thanks!

I am a Canadian citizen, but have been living in the US for a couple of years, and recently gave in to my Cubaness and moved to South Florida.

have fun! Come back relaxed and full of fun stories.

Have a great time!

It’s mildly amusing to me that you will be sailing in a big circle around Cuba.

Have fun! Which cruise line? What kind of stuff do you do in Jamaica?

I am told that we will be going to Dunn’s River falls and climbing up or down the waterfall itself, which sounds like fun. But mostly I plan to plant myself under a palm tree and drink, eat, and nap.

ETA: Carnival Cruises.

Just remember that while food and some beverages are included, alcohol and sodas are not! Also, when you buy a drink, an 18% tip is already included … so you can ignore the “tip” line on your receipt.
