My husband Shayne and I just got back from our honeymoon on the Carnival Triumph and have so many new memories and friends to take with us. We could not have had a better honeymoon J
Our ship took off the day after our wedding so the first thing we did on board was buy a drink and sit out on our balcony and watch the boat depart from Miami. From there the great times just never stopped.
I will never forget all the places we got to see and all the friends we made along the way. Although our snorkeling excursion got cancelled in Mexico we were able to trade it for a new one where we got to ride horses through the Mayan Ruins. Though I learned riding horses is not really for me we had a great time and made some close friends. It gave us a chance to meet and talk to other guests we may not have talked to. The best part was afterwards we got an authentic Mexican fiesta. They served us authentic Mexican food, Coronas and margaritas, and even got to knock down a piñata. It was a blast and made friendships that will last for years to come.
Jamaica is also a place I will never forget and hopefully get the chance to visit again. We climbed Dunns River Falls and what an accomplishment! It is such a rush and the leaders really make the experience worth while. That is something we will definitely do again if we are ever there. After all that work we enjoyed the afternoon at Dolphin Cove laying out and enjoying the nice beach. Part of our excursion included a private cabana and an attendant to provide us lunch and a foot massage. Let me tell you that was the best foot massage ever!
Another big part we love is the food! If you are on a diet a cruise is not for you J We especially loved dinner because we got to sit and chat with new friends while enjoying great cuisines you do not experience everyday. Their desserts were my favorite- especially the chocolate melting cake. I am getting hungry just thinking about it J The waiters even sing and dance for you a few nights which you don’t experience at normal restaurants.
The crew was so welcoming and really helped give us a great honeymoon we would never forget. It was nice to come back to the room with our room service attendant welcoming us back and asking how our day was. They really knew how to make our experience special. I will never forget our last formal night. I get a tap on my back from the hostess and she tells me that someone had given her a gift for me. So confused she handed me a wrapped box in tissue paper. Looking at my husband I open it and its diamond earrings as a wedding present. He had snuck out when I was getting my hair done and after he purchased the earrings the sales lady wouldn’t let him take them but said it needed to be special. She arranged everything and really made the night special and is something I will never forget.
The only complaint we had of our honeymoon is that it went by so fast (and that we gained a few pounds from all the great food)!!! Before we knew it we were married a week and saying good bye to the crew and all the friends we made. Now we just need to decide what cruise we would like to do next J
