Our little get-away

After an emotional week and a half it was time to take it down a KNOTch (pun intended) and enjoy some Caribbean cruising.

Remember me telling you in my last post that we went on a little get-away for a few days?

We sailed the Caribbean for 3 days and 4 nights on the beautiful cruise liner Enchantment of the Seas, one of the many ships owned and run by Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Our cruise departed Port Canaveral and made two stops on our voyage. First stop was the Royal Caribbean privately owned island Cococay followed the next day by a stop at Nassau and then a day at sea.
 

This picture was taken while in port. I believe, Nassau!

For our day in Cococay, the privately owned Royal Caribbean Island, we walked the island; laid by the water watching the sting rays, had good conversation and just enjoyed the Bahamian heat! Lunch on the island was brought over by the ship, it was tasty. We met another couple and enjoyed talking with them over lunch. What a perfect way to relax!

Nassau was our next stop! We really didn't care about Atlantis or any of the other shore excursions. We did get off the ship, we walked around downtown for a few hours. We hit up Starbucks, yes Starbucks! I was shocked they had one, Adam wasn't. The ocean was stunning after it cleared up from raining most of the morning. We talked about getting a cab and riding around, but then decided to spend the money in the spa, on the ship!

We had a lady from a visiting liner take this for us; we were standing under a sign that said Nassau!

Day 3 was our day at sea and our favorite! We both had a massage in the spa and relaxed near the adult only pool area. We had reservations at Chops Grille; it was a wonderful, very romantic dinner. I won a gift certificate some how... not really sure how that happened, but it did! We enjoyed happy hour and watching folks in the casino after dinner.

The staff was wonderful.The nightly entertainment was awesome. The ship was beautiful. We loved everything about our time on the cruise, except how short is was.

Formal night! We both enjoyed getting dressed up.

Our cruise was an amazing way to wind down after the hustle and rush of our adoption. Most adoptions take about 9 to 12 months before everything is complete and the agency can begin the matching process. Our situation was unique and very rushed. The cruise was gifted to us after everything fell through. Thankful!

Casual night!
