The Massive Cruise Photo Update

Formal night

Twice during the cruise we had formal night, where everyone had to dress up for dinner.



Dining

This was Georgie's favorite staff member. She wasn't our waitress but she stopped by our table every night to see Georgie.


This German family shared our table at dinner. They had a boy a few weeks younger than Georgie. They shook hands and were having a good time when Georgie screamed at him with delight. He started bawling. That was the end of Georgie's friendship with him.


Montego Bay, Jamaica


My mom, Nikki, and Georgie took a city tour of Montego. The guys all took a cross island tour to the Appleton Rum Estate. Nikki had the camera so I will have to post someone else's pictures of that. But I will say now that Jamaica was amazing and this excursion was my favorite of the cruise.

Grand Cayman

Here's our ship moored off the pier in George Town, Grand Cayman. This was the only port that we had to take a tender ship to.

First we went to a butterfly farm, where this nice Dutch lady showed us how caterpillars become butterflies. Above is her holding a chrysalis.

Here is a butterfly that just emerged from its chrysalis. Its wings are still too heavy with fluid to fly.

We were fascinated.

Georgie liked the flowers.




Next we went to a turtle farm, where we saw all sizes and ages of giant turtles. They let us hold the little ones. Georgie slept through the whole thing.



We capped Cayman off with cocktails on the pier.


Cozumel


In Cozumel we went shopping first. Georgie got a new tambourine.


Then she had her first experience swimming in the ocean. She loved it.



On the ship


Georgie's favorite toy in the room was this lightswitch over the bed.

Nikki did a little card playing.


Grandpapa made Georgie her own bear named Alfred.





Georgie wasn't allowed in the big pool so she brought her own.
