As a family we have been fortunate to go on a few cruises before, but when we went there was only six of us. This time we got to take the new additions to our family, my sister's husband Brendon and brother's wife Kenzie and fortunately my boyfriend Brady.
We were going, going, going every single day. On the ship there were activites going non stop. We could go to shows that were dancers, singers, comedians and magicians. We could do kareoke, play bingo, go dancing, you name it. When we weren't on the ship we were snorking, swimming with sting rays, cave tubing, oh and walking along the Mexican highway because we decided to be independent and got lost. No big deal.
Day 1:
Relaxing, exploring and enjoying the entertainment on our ship! The Carnival Valor
Our first stop! Grand Cayman. We took a catamaran and our guide took us snorkling then we swam with sting rays
Kenz and Trev snorkling
Sorry Brady this is the best one I could find, it is only covering half of your face, the other ones covered the full face!
Brady told me to do a man face....I don't know what happened...
Will and Kate! Special :)
Day3:
Honduras! We decided to get a tour of the side of the island we were on and then we found a beach to lay out and relax on. We also went kayaking while we were there
Trev and Kenz
The roomies...maybe it was a bad idea to put those two together??
Bren and Shay
My beautiful parents Trish and Paul
Day4:
Belize!! We took a little hike through the jungle, ate termites along the way (seriously though) then went tubing down a cave
After hiking through the jungle for a little bit, our guide shows us a termite nest and asks if any of us want to try one. Of course we do, and guess what? They taste MINTY!! Crazy huh?
It was amazing inside of the cave. A lot of the rock was sparkly, there was a little waterfall, bats and other cool rock formations.
Also, this night was a VERY epic night. Nick, Brady, Trev, Kenz, Bren and I decided to go dancing (Shay was sick and I don't know where my parents were...) and after a few minutes Trev and Kenz left leaving Nick, Brady, Bren and I dancing. Alone. No one else was on the dance floor. Soon enough we got some girls to come dance and 3 older couples, it was awesome. It gets better. A soul train breaks out. Then guess who shows up?? My parents!! And they jump right in there with us and dance the night away. It seriously was amazing. Probably one of my favorite nights by far, I love my parents!!
Day5:
Cozumel! This was Brady's last day, he had to fly from Cancun to get home to his brother's wedding so while my parents, Shay and Brendon went scuba diving, Brady, Trev, Kenz, Nick and I went on our own to find a beach. Of course we didn't look up any beaches or anything in advance so we decided we would walk and find one. Bad idea. We ended up walking along side of a Mexican highway! Too bad I didnt get any pictures of that. But after finally deciding to be picked up by a taxi and being scammed we found a beautiful beach/resort. There were pools, monkeys you could hold, and a lot of water toys. Again I am regretting not getting pictures more on this day

Brady and I on the beach. It was gorgeous
Day 6:
We spent this whole day reading, laying out, ordering pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris (I do not know how to spell that, so I put it in word and this is how it came out...still looks weird to me though)
Okay now I can't forget about dinner. Each night you had to dress in business casual outfits. No shorts, no jeans, no flip flops. Also, two of the nights are formal nights so we got to get dressed up. And the food was absolutely AMAZING! You could order as many appetizers, entrees and desserts as you want. (trust me we all did) We also had fantastic waiters, they were so great.
