My best friend, Bryndi, won this cruise package for two at a Cleveland Indians game this past summer and graciously asked me to join her! We set sail May 14th from Miami, and will be heading to Nassau and The Bahamas. I cannot believe this is actually happening! I've always wanted to go on a cruise before, but never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd be able to go at age 22, and for FREE! When I say this cruise is free, I mean it. Even the flight is included in this package deal! We get free round-trip airfare through Delta Airlines in addition to the free cruise itself. The only thing we have to pay for is a one night stay in a hotel in Miami on Thursday night, as our flight lands on Thursday, May 13th and the cruise doesn't begin until May 14th, but we both agreed that that's a small price to pay and we're definitely willing to pay it. Bryndi also told me she paid a fee to upgrade our cruise package to a better, more luxurious room, but she wouldn't tell me how much she spent because she said it's her graduation present for me. She's so good to me! :)
I've never been on a cruise before so I'm VERY excited! I also have a lot of questions. This blog will serve as an outlet for me to share my excitement and pose questions, and will also allow for all of you veteran cruisers to share favorite cruise stories and experiences, and to provide helpful tips and advice before I climb on board for the first time!
The ship we're going to be sailing on is called "The Majesty of the Seas." It's pictured below:
I don't think I could possibly be any more jealous, Ryan!!!! But in a good way!!!!! Maybe I'll get a job as a cruise entertainer this summer and will surf across the seas on the "Majesty" right along with you. But probably not.
ReplyDeleteDon't watch Titanic before you go...."But this ship can't sink!" We all learned from that one. Hahahaha.
No, but seriously, I can't wait to hear about your travels!!! This is gonna be great, and you deserve it more than anyone!!! I want to know what the ship is like!!! Show us some pictures of the interior!!! What kind of food will you be eating? Entertainment? Will you go see the Atlantis Resort when you're in the Bahamas?
Let me know, I'll keep following!
I'm jealous too!!! This is going to be the best vacation- complete fun and relaxation because there will be no worries about spending money! I want to hear about Miami (I'm in Miami Trick!) and I want to know about the ports you'll be stopping at. If you have any questions- please please please ask! I've only been on the one cruise but it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more!
ohhhh, so this blog is to inspire jealousy?
ReplyDeleteRyan! This is so exciting - what a wonderful graduation present!!! :) I am sure you will have a wonderful time and I can't wait to hear all about your trip.
