We sailed out about an hour to an amazing coral reef. On our way out, we sailed past our ship, so I had to get a picture of how amazingly large it is.
Tony and a couple other guys on the trip got to help raise the sail, which was really neat.
Once we got out there, we had about an hour to snorkel. The first half hour was great! We were right above the reef, floating around, and seeing tons of fish. My favorite was a really bright blue type--I have no idea what it is called. Tony took some underwater pictures, but we don't have them developed yet, so I don't know if they turned out good or not. But about 30 minutes into it, I started feeling a little icky. I swam back to the boat and puked, over and over again. The fish loved it and all swarmed around eating it, which was totally disgusting! Luckily, I felt better by dinner time.
After sailing back (drinking ginger ale and NOT looking at the water), we did a little souvenir shopping. We found a great $5 T-shirt shop, and then found this shop, which was my favorite. It was FILLED with all kinds of shells, sand dollars, sea urchins, blowfish, shark jaws, and alligator heads. Things got a little out of control when this one attacked me. Haha.
That night on the boat was formal night, which I love. We were able to get all dressed up, enjoy a gourmet dinner, a great show by the singers and dancers, and then finished the night at the Dancing Under the Stars dance party by the pool where we got right down in the middle of it and danced like kids! It was a great day.

sweet! I am so jealous! can't wait to hear about the rest! Personally I think I would puke after snorkling too, I've never done it and am pretty afraid of trying to breath with my face under water. I am glad it didnt ruin your night though!
That sounds like so much fun!!!! I'm totally jealous!! Ben and I are thinking about doing a cruise next May. I've never been on one and it sounds amazing!! Glad you guys were able to get away, just the two of you.
