“Once in a lifetime!” I know that is a cliché, but how else can I describe our recent cruise with 10 family members? The palm trees that greeted us when we landed in Miami were harbingers of the gorgeous weather we enjoyed throughout our travels to Freeport and Nassau in the Bahamas. The “free style dining” meant we could enjoy any cuisine anytime, night or day…and enjoy we did!
The activities we shared included everything from snorkeling off a little boat in a choppy cove to enjoying a lazy day in the 87 degree heat on the beach. A day we especially relished knowing there was snow and subzero temperatures back home. Other onshore excursions included shopping in the straw markets, touring the opulent resort and aquarium of Atlantis on Paradise Island, near Nassau, and lunch at the Bahamian kitchen, with true island cuisine.
Even though we were far from home we still managed to gather in the sports bar for major events such as the MU/Navy bowl game and the NU/Arizona game. There were nightly shows, evening sunsets, and more to do than we had time for.
New Year’s Eve on a cruise ship—it was one of those things you just had to be there! The atmosphere was electric with an adult game show preceding the outdoor poolside extravaganza. Our family was one of 28 teams who participated in a frantic “Quest” game that challenged our creativity and sense of fun! We came out as the top team so that started out the night on a positive note. The poolside part included driving music, dancing, champagne, ice sculptures and, for a brave few a jump in the pool.
Now that we are back in KC we are sharing pictures and reliving moments. And that was the best things about the trip—making memories for a lifetime!
