Caribbean Cruise - Princess Ruby

BUCKET LIST:

CRUISE... check 

Ranz and I decided to take a 5 day cruise to the Caribbean for our belated honeymoon.  It's something neither of us has ever done and we had a ton of fun!

We boarded the ship in Fort Lauderdale, Florida... with 3 stops along the way... Nassau Bahamas, Princess Cays Bahamas and Grand Turk. 

Yay cruise cards...those can get you into trouble lol.



Last cabin at the back... with an extended balcony... great room!

Was surprised how narrow these hallways were... very tight!


And we're off!


Strawberry Margarita time!!

Yum... soo good :)

Food...food and more food!

A view from the top!

First stop... Bahamas!!


Rented a scooter in Nassau to tour the island.


Round about number 58... ok maybe not... but close!  No stops on this Island lol.




Love this pic!

Our cruise ship!


Back at sea!

Stop 2... Princess Cays... an Island owned by Princess Cruise line...

The tourist beach.

The beach we found... 

Our lil Inuksuk statue :)

Back on the ship... again.


Muah!!!


A good read from the library room... no relation to Ranz... but I did choose it for obvious reasons.

A beautiful sunset view from our balcony!

Stop 3... Turks and Caicos 

Grand Turk selfie... or half selfie for Ranz?!

More beach time!!


These selfies are tricky.


Another beautiful sunset.


Last night at sea.





With everything there are some cons:


  • The Island time is never long enough... we always seemed pressed for time.
  • The booze is an extra fee... why not hide it in the price?!
  • 23 dollars a day for room gratuity tacked onto the bill is a bit much... I don't mind tipping... just wish I had some control over it.
  • Those pools should be heated... brrrr!!


And now the pros:


  • Always something going on... anytime day and night.
  • The food... wow!!!
  • 3 different Islands in 5 days.
  • Great entertainment.


Overall we had a wonderful honeymoon.  The weather was great, met some great people, the Island time was fun, got some sun on my white skin, and the food was amazing (and endless).

Would we do it again?.. maybe... maybe not?!
