Cruise 2010-Day 7 at Sea

We got up and ran to breakfast...we passed Quincy and his friend (they hadn't been to bed yet). He did proceed to tell us "hey white people can just get up, look nice and head to breakfast'. ha ha... Christina, Pam & I have decided the Royal Suite is what we want on the next trip! Its totally up our alley! Or maybe Chris and I can have this and they can have the inside cabin? ha ha.

We ran to breakfast, then planned on being at the pool all day! They did have some stuff on the Promenade so we took a break and headed there! The food carving stuff is great! I do need someone to do that at my house! How entertaining!

So after we headed back to the pool, they were raising $$ for Make A Wish- Royal Caribbean style! Christina and I went and got some shirts and then as we got back to our chairs the Captain showed up. So back I went with Bob. I explained to the Captain that Bob was our ER mascot and he took a few pics with Bob. How cool!

As we got back to our chairs again, Pam showed up. I told her about the shirts. She went to get one and saw the Captain and asked him how long he was going to be there. She then said she had to get Bob, the Captain then said "I already had a picture taken with Bob". Pam said "no, you don't understand". The Captain said "Bob?" and put his hands about a foot apart. Then Pam figured out that yes, in fact, he had his picture than with Bob!

Back to the sun please.....then Jimmy shows up! After numerous foot massages....Jimmy decided to try his whale poses....he was getting raving reviews! Although I think Chris could give him a run for his $$$$!

You can't see really well in this picture but the guy has a belly button piercing AND a tramp stamp!

Next came the real reason why we parked ourselves in a particular spot for the day...The Belly Flop Contest at 1300!~ yeah!

Big spash! It was very good! This was the 2nd round!

We finally got to cool off after the belly flop contest was over! Again, Christina only took 250 pictures in 15 seconds! Obviously I left the one out of me telling her what I really thought!

We hung out pretty much all day! We were meeting the boy at Johnny Rockets and then Pam wanted to do the Rock Climb Wall. Actually I think we did the Rock Climbing wall before Johnny Rockets! Whatever...

Up, Up, Up she went! Almost all the way to the top! It doesn't look that tall in the picture, but it was pretty tall! She did great! She liked the guide that had to take her harness off!

Had to head to Johnny Rockets for the milkshakes, of course!

And of course, the entertainment!

I, of course, came for the straws!

Done with food and heading back out for something else to keep us entertained....

Circus entertainment in the middle of a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean? Yep, everything happens on a cruise ship! Even the bearded lady!

Gorilla lady, bearded lady...whatever...You get the picture!

It was totally amazing.... hard to imagine you are on a boat!

This is our last day at sea...and Im going to hate getting off the ship in the morning and having to head home! It has been a great week!

Cruise 2010-Day 6 Cozumel

ITS SILVER FRIDAY PEOPLE! There were alot of people beating us off the boat! Christina had finally decided to hang with us at the beach and then heading for the Silver shop, hence the name Silver Friday. It only took us all week for Christina to realize that Silver Friday was on Friday!

Do NOT step over the red line! Do we ever listen? Thats probably why I don't have a man! ha ha Actually if Chris was here, he probably would have pushed me OVER the line!

We headed to a beach with unlimited food and drinks (including liquor), sounds like a plan, huh? It was nice & secluded, except for the Carnival people that showed up! It would have been perfect if Chris had been here. Thats ok, I ended up talking about him the entire time, so for the girls, it actually WAS like he was here!

Awesome view! Totally relaxing...this is the life....do I really have to go back to work? If I can't live in Grand Cayman, can I stay here? This picture is totally for Mike! Signature shot!

Bob even enjoyed his drink! Yum Yum! Not quite sure what Firts Aid is....but looks like they need help! Christina and I were going to arm wrestle to see who would get the job!

Gotta have the Madonna glasses! Yes, here we are STARS! At least in our world! This was one of 100 shots that Christina took in less than 10 seconds!

Water was pretty clear here too! Amazing that we ALL have red polish on...kinda hot! But my feet are the cutest! Damn Canadians with their shoes! This fish kept biting me! He wouldn't leave me alone! Not sure why! Ok, I could make a comment here about Chris, but Ill just keep my mouth shut! Bob had to go under to see how clear the water was! He is loving this vacation! Ok, enough sun (did I really say that), now off for SILVER FRIDAY! I knew there were two Silver Emporium's but thought the one I usually go to was the 2nd one. It wasn't. However, they had a ton of stuff, so needless to say, I bought a ton! And Chris wasn't here to give me a hard time!

This guy is real! They both figured it ou when they walked by and he grabbed their butts! THEN they realized he was authentic!

Again, NATHAN! Smallest or not, I need a glass! I can't go back without a glass! Remember, its all about Nathan! Actually its all about Chris. At least I wish! Off to Senor Frogs to meet the boys and have some fun for awhile!

Yep, thats pretty much her! At least thats what she says!

Yeah, that sums that up too! Not sure who planted these, but so far they are right on!

Well, it was going good....think Ill have to rethink what I said! It would have been perfect if Chris would have been here! He definately would have fit in and instigated a ton!

Pam loved her hat! We aren't sure where it went later, but she didnt have it long after this picture! It wouldnt hurt to mention her glass which is almost empty, however its her 4th one (in 10 minutes).

My hat, however, made it back on the boat! I even wore it home through the sunroof in the car, despite Shawn telling me he was going to 'call in a favor'. NOT!

Now remember I haven't gotten up off the stool yet. Thank goodness we took the picture now!

Nathan....everyone knew about Nathan before we hit Jimmy Buffets in Cozumel! ha ha... Yes, another glass! Its a mission! After all this, you would think Nathan would marry me! I haven't done so much for a man in over 20 years! Actually Nathan is my work husband. We all know who my REAL husband is, at least in my dreams because I can't open my mouth!

Dinner was great! The wait staff performed in the three level dining room! Pretty cool! And of course, Peter was the BEST!

Cruise 2010-Day 5-Grand Cayman

Waking up in Grand Cayman....NICE! We asked Christina to go on the excursion with us, but she wasn't there when we got off the boat...so off we went. We were going to go snorkeling, Stingray City and Seven Mile Beach....and still have time for shopping...

We took about a 20 minute bus ride to our boat...then about a 20 minute ride to our snorkeling site....the water was so clear....totally awesome! I love the Cayman Islands!

Hard to believe two sisters can get along so well, huh? We were having a great week and expected nothing but a great day! Lots to do in under 6 hours!

Wonder why I took this picture? You will never know! But I know someone who will.....

Pam didn't realize that this was for UNDER water.. ha ha... I think she said she wants one for Christmas for the bath tub... I think Ill get her one! Looking mighty sexy there Pam!

Bob was even ready for his snorkeling experience....
I was jealous Pam had her sexy mask on so I had to get one too! Now there are two hot sisters....

The water was the perfect temperature and sooooo clear. I love the Caribbean, especially when you can see so clearly. There was a Moray Eel (I can't remember his name) that they were trying to coax out....he didn't bite! Literally! We were hoping but no luck.

I got a waterproof case for the Canon last September and it was perfect...so now everytime I travel, it goes too! Its perfect. And the pics aren't too bad for being underwater!

We both were having so much fun...we really could have done this all day and been happy! There were some pretty cool fish too. Its amazing to see them!

Pam took this one of me....Im not sure she was breathing, taking pictures and floating all at the same time...but the picture came out so all is good!

We were stopped for snorkeling for about 90 minutes. Which went by very fast! Pam was one of the last few in the boat to head to Stingray City!

Look at how awesome the water looks! It is so beautiful and peaceful. I could definately live here. Wonder if they have a need for an Emergency Room RN?

When we got to Stingray City, you couldn't miss it. There are hundreds of stingray's. It was crazy. Some big, some small. Wow! There were other boats there with people already in the water.

It was funny how people were acting in the water. One of our guides said she was going to get the 1st person to scream once we were in the water.

Needless to say Pam screamed. She wasn't the first, but she did scream. She actually was trying to run in the water, it was kind of entertaining for a second. But finally, she was ok...she just wanted to touch or chase on her terms NOT the stingray's.

Pam even got up enough courage for a stingray massage! She is soooo pampered!

Next came time to play kiss the stingray, for which Pam volunteered us to go first. I didn't have to move much as the stingray came up to us....I think Pam got a little more than she bargained for. ha ha.

Next came Seven Mile Beach...one of the top 10 beaches in the world. If you have even been there, you know why. Totally beautiful and a great place to snorkel. It is absolutely beautiful! Did I mention I could live here?

We hung out for awhile, got some coral and sand (which didn't make it back on the boat) and then planned our attack for shopping before we had to board the boat.

The last time Pam & I did the name in the sand thing was in St. Croix in 1999! Sure doesn't seem that long.

The day seemed to go by way too fast! We could stay here forever! Totally gorgeous, who wouldn't love this place?

Bob even loves Grand Cayman! He had to get some basking in the sun & water time too!

Shopping, here we come! Again, another glass for Nathan. Im really beginning to think this trip is ALL ABOUT NATHAN! I even had Pam and everyone else looking for glasses.

Hard Rock is always a great place to stop! Being in the Cayman Islands doesn't hurt either. Jimmy Buffets isn't too bad either. Drinks at both. And drinks come in glasses....Nathan glasses! Woo Hoo!

After ALL our stops we headed back to the pier to meet the tender that would take us back to the boat, since the boat was sitting in the middle of the water!

That is when we saw Christina! She sure missed a great day! After we told her everything we had done, she realized that she did miss out! And just think she could have hung out with us all day!

The boat ride was less than 10 minutes, but at the time we got in line it was close to the latest we could be, so the line was rather long to board the tenders...but it was ok, after all, we are in Grand Cayman.

There really is a reason why I like Christina! And surely why we met through sitting at the same dinner table! Again, another self-portrait of Pam & I! Thats a pretty awesome looking boat, huh? Freedom of the Seas....So how about a RN job? Don't worry, I looked...they don't have any positions posted. But wow...I think I could do it!

Back on the boat and getting ready for another Formal night for dinner! Pending Pam & I don't sleep through it!

Pam, obviously more colorful than me. Thats ok...everyone knows Im a solid kinda girl! And black works the best! Love the shoes!

After sunning, snorkeling and whatever else we got into, a shower cleaned us up good enough to show up for dinner!

Notice the BLACK dresses! Nothing like a black dress!

Peter was our waiter and he was the BEST, mainly because he had our table! I mean really, there wasn't a better table in all three levels of the dining room!

After dinner we stopped for a photo op! The three amigos are definately working it! Not quite sure about the fourth...but the three amigos wouldn't be the three amigos if there were four!

Of course, Pam figured out by a passerby that she had forgotten underwear. (just kidding) However, shanigans are always done, I think thats why Christina fits in so well!

We went around to find the boys and ran into Kersh. He was a performer that got on in Ocho Rios and knew one of the girls at our table. He was great and nice! Good to know celebraties!

Went through the Casino looking for the boys....and again, no bells or whistles despite both Christina and I yelling "PAY THE LADY".....

Christina wants one of these for her house....Pretty cool, I guess. Not practical with my leather but would bring some color...hummmmm

Somewhere on the Promenade we took this. Searching for the boys, of course! It didn't matter we were still having a blast. We were heading to the Adult Comedy Show at midnight....

FINALLY, we found the boys...even if it was one at a time...Jimmy found us first. We grabbed a couple of tables and sat down to wait for the rest of the crew and to wait for the show.

This night was 70's night. We had a blast. They had several bands performing one after the other in three different areas. It was pretty cool and Jimmy and I made the DVD for the cruise! Im famous! Woot Woot!

This was when they were done, the platform went up into the ceiling (or whatever you call it). Pretty cool!

Not sure what the drink of the day was....but it obviously became the drink of the night! ha ha ha

Pam caught the Cruise Director after the Adult Comedy Show... I think she was stalking him more than anything.

And how else to end the day other than pizza at 0345! What a great ending to a totally awesome day! At least tonight, Pam can cut her own pizza instead of having the waiter cut it for her!

Christina...yes we will get up and do it all again tomm. Shawn, on this picture, didn't have the GIO on, or else...well you know.....

What an absolutely wonderful day! Totally amazing. Can't wait till tomorrow!
