Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble Cruise!


We boarded Liberty of the Seas in Galveston on November 22 for our Turkey Day Cruise shortly before lunch.  Boarding was smooth and easy, soon we were enjoying lunch in the Windjammer. Our cabin 9357 was ready about 1 pm and we unpacked our luggage when it  arrived.  Dinner was in the Main Dining Room at 5:30 pm each evening....our waiter and assistant waiter were both outstanding.  
Our first two days we spent at sea on our way to our first port in Roatan Honduras.  It was kinda of windy and cool out on the deck, so we spent most of that time indoors.  At the Cruise Critic Meet and Mingle I won a bottle of Chardonnay.  

Little French Key was the excursion we booked in Roatan.  A beautiful island resort with nice beaches, water toys, lunch, and two drinks.  Relaxing and spending time in the water filled the day.....with a couple Monkey La La cocktails.....thanks to the best bartender, Renae!


The next day in Belize we arrived in a pouring rain, only to find out our cave tubing was cancelled.....Darn!  We substituted an ATV tour, in the rain.....a bad idea!  It was wet, and muddy, and the equipment was not good.  What had been an ATV trail in the jungle became a roaring river......wet, wet, wet!
Our final stop was in Cozumel, we grabbed a taxi, walked around town, enjoyed lunch and went back to the ship to relax around the pool.



We enjoyed the cocktail party before dinner each night in the Diamond Lounge and met some interesting folks!  Our final night we booked dinner at Portafino's.  A great way to end our cruise!

One final Sea Day provided time for a nice relaxing day, with perfect sunny weather.  We arrived back in Galveston and were off the ship and home before Noon.
