Caribbean Princess

We sailed on the Caribbean Princess and had a wonderful time. I loved all of the entertainment and shows. Jordyn swam every day in the pools. The food was spectacular!! But the best part was spending another non-stop week with my family. I can't thank my parents enough for taking us on this trip! Making memories is SO much better than "stuff"!

Eating dinner together each night was a highlight of the day!

And the napkins were swinging!

After Jordyn found the fetucinni alfredo one night she had it for each dinner afterwards...



The entire gang!

Saving the Best for Last!

Port 4 - Grand Turk Island, Turks & Caicos

By far our favorite port of call was Grand Turk Island because we did the Snorkle & Stingrays excursion.

Before heading out, we walked up and down the main beach front of Grand Turk.

It was a conch shell mecca!

The snorkle & stingray excursion started with a boat ride (that we didn't have to paddle ourselves) to Stingray Bay. Our guides rounded up two or three stingrays for us to hold, kiss (seriously?), and get a back massage from.

Then we got back on the boat to head to some deeper waters to snorkle. Our guides actually chummed the water to attract fish of all sizes and colors. It was incredible!!

It was all good until I saw the shark (YES! Shark!) and then I QUICKLY swam back to the boat with Cara. Bryan and Jordyn stayed in the water (apparently unfazed by said shark) and had about 10 more minutes of snorkling.

The water here was much clearer than in St. Thomas and we had quite the adventure!!

Beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico

Port 3 - San Juan, PR

Getting ready for our expedition

Puerto Rico is SO colorful! It seemed like no two houses were the same color.

 

El Morro was an awesome tour. So many cool things to see...

The blue cobblestone of Old San Juan was gorgeous!

The burial place of Juan Ponce DeLeon is San Juan. Who knew?

Hands down THE best Pina Colada in the universe!
