#81 Cruise blues/Ship photos

365 Blog Challenge: Post #81

Have you ever gone on vacation just to find you need another vacation to rest up from the first vacation?  Have you ever had so much to do that you don't know where to start and, therefore, nothing gets done?  That would be my day today.  After Skyping with our families for almost 2 hours last night after apx 5 hours of sleep the night before and a full day of traveling, I was exhausted.  I had to haul myself out of bed this morning to balance the checkbook (quite the task after this trip), go to physical therapy, go to the allergist, buy groceries, and to return to the apartment to take a 2 hour nap.  And I haven't even started cleaning up this sty of a place we call our apartment for Heather and Zoe's visit this weekend.  On a positive note, I did start some laundry and unpacked my bags and am now trying to get some blogging in before the trip becomes irrelevant in your minds.

For this post-cruise post, I wanna show some pictures of the actual boat we were on- Jewel of the Seas.  It's a Royal Caribbean Radiance Class ship, and it was beautiful.  We can't wait to book another cruise and try out another boat.  This boat came equipped with 1 outdoor pool w/ 2 hot tubs, 1 indoor (adults only) pool w/ 1 hot tub, a climbing wall, a 9-hole mini-golf course, a sports court, a casino, a gym/running track and lots of other stuff.  It was a pretty nice place to live for 10 days!

At Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale

Pre-cruise shot- We didn't know what we were doing.

Outdoor pool came equipped with giant man holding beach ball statue. We both thought it was real for about a minute.

Indoor pool- AKA Solarium....sooo peaceful.

Mini-golf on the ocean!

The chandelier from deck 4 in the centrum (center of ship). 

Beautiful shot of the balconies on each floor (up to floor 12!) from the 4th floor centrum.

Water fall in the centrum next to the stage where many wonderful musicians performed each night.

The stage in the Coral Theater where the nightly shows were.  We only went to one because we're snobs.

This is actually a photo of the ceiling reflecting Scott in the pool in the Solarium at night.  Pretty cool!

Our favorite spot on the last day in the Solarium overlooking the ocean.  I miss it!

A photo of our ship- Jewel of the Seas in Haiti.  It's huge!

Many more pics where those came from.  I'll post more when I find some energy! Good night!
