You fly out to your cruise port destination, if you have time, you explore the town the port is located in, and you get excited about the days or week ahead.
On the morning of the Cruise takeoff, you stand in line to show your passport and identification, and to put your credit card on file, and then you enter the Cruise Ship. It’s so big at first. One of the first things they do is take a picture of you, your family, or friends. Then they allow you to explore the territory.
You find all the options for food, you find the pool on top, you find the little shops to explore, and then you find they also have a casino. And wow, the bars, and the fun drinks you can have. Where do you go first? Where do you start? You explore your room and you find an entire list of events schedule on the cruise from entertainment shows to activities to their very own spa. A cruise is worth every penny!
The first excursion day arrives, and you are off on your first adventure. There are truly so many options to choose from. You can explore ancient ruins, you can go shopping for a day. You can swim with dolphins like the above, go snorkeling, go scuba diving, or jump on a party boat. The options are endless, and it also depends on where you go.
When I went on my Caribean cruise, I swam with dolphins one day, and the next I visited an outdoor park called XCarat. There, I was able to swim in an underground river. The water was so warm, and it was awesome feeling as if I was swimming through caves. In the future, when I take a cruise again, I will go zip lining because it is on the bucket list of things to do.
The above picture is of Xcaret Park in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
The possibilities are endless on a cruise, and the food is also endless. From dressing up for their fancy dinners at night, to the buffets during the day. You will not go hungry while on your trip.
Have you ever been on a cruise? Where’d you go, what did you do? Would you recommend it? =)
