Capture It, Remember It: Navigator of the Seas Cruise

Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas was a-mazing! I went with my best friend Stephanie, her mom Darlene, her aunt Janet and her mom and aunt's friend, Cyndie. We cruised out of Fort Lauderdale for a five-night cruise. We ate, soaked up some sun, ate, laughed A LOT, ate some more, roamed the ship, ate, I sang karaoke with Janet (totally out of my norm), ate and enjoyed Georgetown, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

The car is packed and we are ready to go! Cyndie, Stephanie, Mrs. Darlene and me. Janet was taking the photo.

This is the Oasis of the Seas, my first cruise and the ship we went on August 2010 - incredible!

Janet, Mrs. Darlene, Cyndie, me and Stephanie. We have a fabulous girls' cruise!

Mrs. Darlene at "Sail Away." Bon Voyage.

"Ice Dancin'" was great! This guy's tricks were super scary. I was so scared for him.

On the edge of my seat at this point!

Towel animals make people happy

"Happy, happy morning! Good morning!" What a way to welcome hungry people to the Windjammer! The Windjammer = the happiest place on the ship, it's where you eat the breakfast and lunch buffet.

Dinner

Dinner each night is great! It's fun catching up over a delicious meal. "Yes, I'll have these three appetizers, both of these main dishes and these four desserts!"

Y to the um!

Georgetown, Grand Cayman was beautiful!

The water was clear and warm

The sign speaks for itself

Next stop - Cozumel!

Cozumel

If you visit Cozumel, take a short taxi ride here. This place has an amazing atmosphere and delicious Mexican food!

The food looked crazy!

My chicken, bean and chihuahua cheese nachos. I hope that no dogs were injured in makin that cheese.

Working the xylophone with my Mexican rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." All those years of playing clarinet payed off.

If you cruise Royal Caribbean, every day at lunch you can get these little white cakes in the Windjammer. They. are. amazing! They are so light and fluffy, and sweet but not overly sweet. I like to get some fruit juice from the fruit bar and let them soak up the juice, then top with fresh fruit.

Our waiter, Reynaldo, and his toothpick trick. He weaved one toothpick into two forks then balanced it on a toothpick stuck in the top of a wine cork.

Formal night - Nutcracker Dining Room

Formal night fun

The shower button of death! So, the first night of the cruise I took a lukewarm shower because I didn't know the red button triggered the hot water. Needless to say, the button was turned down more when I first showered. When Stephanie got in the shower I heard her laughing when she realized why I took a lukewarm shower. Haha!
