Final Days at Sea

For the last two days we were on the ship heading back to Miami and we just enjoyed a little down time. Attending some more of the activities (including Battle of the Sexes where the girls beat the boys and Annie and I won't let Joe forget it)! Another highlight was that Joe got to participate on stage two times - the first time was half way through the cruise when the juggler (who was funnier than the comedian) called him up to perform a part of the act where four gentlemen sit in chairs, then lean back on eachother - in a square of course - supporting eachother's weight until he pulls out all the chairs! Well he picked four gentlemen from different countries and so he threw in a bunch of stereotypes that had Annie and I crying because the Russian gentlemen would not put his butt up so they all fell down! It was hilarious and appartently he later told Joe that never happens but we didn't care that it didn't work - it was better that way. Then one of our last days, the activities director our friend Alejandro had Joe participate in a YMCA dance as one of the village people and that was another moment when we were all laughing so hard we almost cried! I have a few pictures from that!

Dancing hard with their "routine"!

This was the can-can and one time Joe tried to kick so high that he slipped and fell, it just added to the overall performance!

Our last night and Joe's final creme brulee (16 total on cruise!)

Of course we had three formal nights on the cruise I forgot to mention and we had our own table anyway so it all worked out perfect! But Annie and I got to use our bridesmaid dresses again - every girl's dream, well really Anna was just so nice that she let us pick our own dress and so we would want to wear it again!

First night sorry so blurry the only one I could find right now!


Ladies in black!

Finally we said our goodbyes to the crew members who really made our trip so much fun and to the few friends we made - well mostly my mom to the friends that she made, we walk down to the room and she'd be stopping and would say "Oh that was just my friend ____!"


Boedi and Sinicha - the best servers!


Wilson - not our stateroom attendent but close enough, we loved talking to him everyday and he even felt so close to us that he would tell us when we got burnt and when we got fat - true friendship!

Some of our favorites - the activities crew (minus Carl)!

But really the cruise was excellent, we loved the places we went, the cruiseline itself, and the people that we met it was truly a vacation to remember!
