We just returned from a wonderful cruise on the lovely Navigator of the Seas. We cruised out of Galveston, TX and stopped in Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, Mexico. We had beautiful weather during the entire week. Our first two days were spent at sea... here are a few pics!
Our first stop, after boarding the ship on Sunday around 1pm, was to grab lunch in the Windjammer!
then we hit up the pool and hot tub :)
and of course, we all had to have a frozen yogurt cone... or maybe two ;)
We all played a round of mini-golf, and I think the boys then played at least 2-3 rounds each day over the course of the week!
On Monday morning, we were still in bed when the Captain came over the PA system and announced that there would be a medical evacuation that morning. The ship had diverted from travelling south, and was headed back towards the mouth of the Mississippi River, and would be met by a Coast Guard helicopter.
The helicopter circled the ship several times, dropping off a member of the Coast Guard on the helipad via a rope. They loaded the patient on a stretcher and lifted him up to the helicopter (via rope) while the helicopter stayed right above the helipad. Then, when everyone was loaded up, the Coast Guard member grabbed onto the rope, and they pulled him up to the copter and flew off. It gave us all the chills.
Both boys climbed the rock wall, but Carter wasn't a huge fan... we couldn't figure out why! He even rang the bell at the top!
the Flowrider was always entertaining to watch and we went to cheer Jerry on with his surfing!
our first formal night at dinner -- the food was delicious and our wait staff did a great job!
Reynato, our waiter, was always bringing extra food to the boys ;)
