We arrived back on November 1. We had our Honeymoon on
Majesty of the Seas. It was the best. For a first time
cruise we couldn't have asked for more. We had seven
days of 85 to 95 sunshine. We were told the week before
had 6 days of rain and high seas.
We arrived Maimi on Sunday, October 25th. They took us right
out to board the busses to the port. Upon are arrival we
changed into shorts and started to explore. We had our
first cocktail at the Windjammer Cafe. Where they started us
off with a welcome buffet. From then on it was food, food, and
more food if you wanted it!
We left Maimi to a beautiful sunset which was a good indication
of the beautiful sights we would see in the next several days!
Our luggage arrived sooner than they promised with everything
right to our door.
We met our dining table, they were all in our age group with
one thing in common we were all on our Honeymoon. Come to find
out there were 232 Honeymoon couples on board. Yes 464 on one
cruise. They had the Honeymoon cocktail party in one of the
lounges and it was really fun.
The wonderful thing about it all was we could be alone if we
wanted yet there was always something to do! We enjoyed every
moment.
At Playa del Carmen they let just the passengers off
going to the Tulman ruins they had to get up at dawn to make that
trip. Next was Cozumel, we went to the Mayan ruins and it was
very interesting. We spent time shopping and did a little
exploring on our own! Had to buy Mexican Blankets.
The second stop was Grand Caymen - It is georgeous there, expensive
but georgeous. We would like to have had more time there. We went
to Seven Mile Beach and we also went to Sting Ray City and of
course fed the Sting Rays. By the time we were done we got the
last Tender back to the ship.
The next stop was Jamaica, Dunn's River Falls is Awesome! The falls
are beautiful. We then went through Fern Gully and back to the
downtown area for shopping. There were some good buys on jewerly.
The open market was unreal! I just didn't like the people offering
drugs or anything else for a dollar!
We went back to the ship early that day! I was just to nervous.
Friday was at sea. There were continual activities on board,
especially at the pool area. From horseracing to Bathingsuit
contests.
The last stop was the private Island Coco Cay in the Bahamas.
We took the snorkling tour there. The fish were big and very
pretty. The beach was great. And they cooked on the island and
had another big feed. The drink of the day was a COCO LOCO. The
drinks were great, different everyday!
So, in closing for a first time cruising experience it was more than
I could ever ask for. The staff and crew were excellent. The shows
were right off broadway. We are planning our next trip in two years!
Can't wait. I'm hooked!

ago. Our first cruise was on the Sun Viking and it was great.
Again, thanks,
