Prince Family Cruise 2012 Days 1-3

Ben and his family have been on many cruises. Now that I am a part of the Prince family I got the chance to travel with them! I had never been on a cruise. I am so happy I got to experience this great adventure! We had so much fun and made memories that will last forever! I am so blessed to have such fun and amazing in-laws.

After a long day of traveling to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida we slept only a few hours to prepare to board the ship early Sunday morning. We boarded the ship and got right to eating lots of food, unpacking and touring the ship.

The second day, was a relaxing day at sea. We laid out by the pool, had all the Virgin Pina Coladas and Strawberry Daiquiris we could get our hands on, played bingo and prepared for the cruise's first formal night. The nightly meals in the dining room were incredible with 4 course meals served by our personal waiters Miroslov and Ivana from Serbia. After dinner, the night's activities included an incredible variety show of acrobats, jugglers, trapeze artists, hula-hoop-ers and more. It was like a Cirque du Soleil show!

On the third day we landed at our first destination! Grand Cayman in The Cayman Islands! Wow!!! We met a local man named Pauri who gave us a great tour of the island. It was so beautiful! He showed us the history of the island with historic homes, amazing landscapes, beautiful bougainvillea flowers, dolphin facility and part of the island called Hell with crazy black lime stone rocks. After the tour he dropped us off at the beach. It was incredible! The water was perfect. I had never seen such clear water! Even in deep water, we could see our toes with fish swimming around us! It felt so good to swim in the ocean. I have missed the salt and the cool refreshing feel of the water! I love the beach! I will always be a beach girl! I could float in the ocean all day!

Please excuse my big black wristband I wear throughout the trip, it helps with my morning sickness.
