My First Cruise Ship Journey – Casie Stewart

About 2 weeks earlier than New Yr’s, a pal requested me if I wished to go on a cruise as a consequence of an unlucky set of circumstances. I used to be up for it, my first cruise ship journey! I’ve been house-hitting a pal’s place for a few month, and he or she was again on the precise days of the cruise. I used to be due for a getaway with a loopy few months behind me. It was precisely what I wanted! I had such a gorgeous room and I’m perpetually grateful to my pal for inviting me to come back on this journey. It couldn’t have come at a greater time in my life. I’ve a zillion pictures, however right here’s a couple of in somewhat recap.

I had by no means been on a cruise earlier than, and this was not simply any cruise. It was a Movie star Cruise by means of the Caribbean, and let me inform you… it was a complete vibe. It was the right method to shut out the yr and cruise into 2025 feeling refreshed, sun-kissed, and filled with gratitude. We stopped in Cozumel, Mexico, Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands, and Bimini, Bahamas. The seashores had been so lovely, and feeling the solar on my pores and skin was unbelievable.

Once we stepped on, it felt like coming into a floating resort. Sunshine, lovely views, countless meals, and luxe poolside lounging. I used to be immediately in trip mode.

The meals was incredible! There have been a wide range of eating places and a 24-hour eating possibility; I had all the things from fancy meals (steak, sushi, pasta) to BBQ snacks by the pool. The theatre reveals had been so good! Every efficiency by the theater crew was excellent, with unbelievable singing, dancing, and a reside band! I went to a present virtually each evening earlier than one of many night occasions (Abba sing-along, Silent Disco). I guarantee you, I nonetheless managed to get loads of relaxation and train! I hit the gymnasium virtually each morning and walked heaps of laps across the ship’s deck.

Positively purchased about 10 swimsuits and wore all of them all through the six-day journey. Most had been from my superb pal’s store, Bathing Belle on Roncesvalle in Toronto’s west finish. Take a look at my posts along with her fits right here or on their web site at bathingbelle.com.

Ringing within the New Yr on the ship was one thing I’ll always remember. I missed the ship’s NYE Occasion totally and was out like a lightweight by 10 p.m. Began 2025 asleep in my mattress and awakened lined in glitter in the midst of the ocean.

There was one thing so magical about being there and waiting for a contemporary new yr. I might very very like to go on one other cruise! On my manner residence, I met a couple of individuals who had been heading out on a four-month round-the-world cruise. What an journey that will be!
