Celebrating Seven Great Years!

Flying into Fort Lauderdale, we planned to spend the night before boarding our 10 night Southern Caribbean Cruise on Royal Caribbeans Legend of the Seas.  We checked into our hotel and had dinner at an Outback Restaurant.  Up the next morning, we had breakfast, and took a taxi to board our ship.  Check in was quick and easy....soon we were on board having lunch in the Windjammer Cafe.  Our bags arrived before dinner and we unpacked.  Requesting a large table at dinner we were put with a travel group of 7 women and 1 man...all from Texas....so we spent the rest of the cruise teaching our waiter, Jerbi to speak Texan! He was one of the best waiters we have ever had on a cruise.  The first two days at sea we had some rough weather with the boat rocking and rolling.  We spent time in the Solarium relaxing and reading....with cocktails every evening in the Diamond Lounge. Discovered a new yummy drink....Lemon Drop Martini!

Our ports were.....
St Thomas....... we spent a great day at one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean at Megan's Bay.  We just grabbed a taxi and had some sun, sand, and salt water.....along with some yummy Painkillers.
St. Kitts.....were we booked a tour and took a boat over to Nevis for a tour of the island.  We saw several old sugar mills that have been transformed into cute boutique hotels.
Dominica......an is an island with lots of Geo-thermal activity.....we snorkeled Champagne Reef...swimming in the bubbles.  Later we soaked in a natural hot tub on the beach!
Antigua was a bust! Our tour with the ship was cancelled and all the other tours we wanted were booked up....so we stayed on the ship and chilled!!!
St. Maarten which is both French and Dutch...were we spent the day at Orient Beach.....which has a topless part and a totally nude part...we kept our clothes on!!! It was a beautiful day, with some great pizza for lunch.
We celebrated our anniversary on Valentine's Day in the main dining room on formal night with cake and a serenade by the waiters.  The last night of our cruise we enjoyed dinner for two in Chops Grille to celebrate our anniversary.  The final two sea days were great for resting and relaxing as we cruised back to Florida.
Up early the next morning we got off the ship, headed to the airport, boarded our flight to Austin and arrived to 40* and a light mist.....burr!
