Our Caribbean Cruise

Last Saturday, November 22nd, Joel and I boarded the Ruby Princess for our 7 day cruise to the Caribbean. The boat is 950 feet long, 19 stories tall, holds 3500 passengers (not counting the 1200 employees), has 9 restaurants, 14 bar/lounge areas, 4 swimming pools, 6 jacuzzi tubs, a complete theatre, and is absolutely beautiful. They treat you like an absolute king from the room steward who makes your bed in the morning and turns down the sheets at night with chocolates on the comforter, to the waitstaff who brings you as many appetizers, soups, salads, main courses, and desserts as you could ever wish for. From a pregnant woman's perspective, it was HEAVEN. No cooking, no cleaning, just adventures during the day, all you can eat food, and fantastic evening entertainment. They have an amazing crew of dancers and singers who did multiple amazing shows from a Broadway dance show to an abstract Alice in Wonderland type production. There were also comedians, jugglers, live bands, and much more! So needless to say, we were never bored. So we got on the boat Saturday with our friends Isabell and Danny from El Paso, TX and spent the next two days at sea sailing for Jamaica. These are a few photos of the boat from the swimming pools, to the big screen where we would watch "Movies Under the Stars" on certain nights, to the grand piazza in the center of the boat.
