*Happy Anniversary Frogger. I love you more than words can say and I can't wait to marry you.*
A while back I wrote about our favorite type of vacation, need a refresher?
So I'm sure it will come as no surprise that Frogger and I ultimately decided to take a cruise for our honeymoon.
Sorry about that, Frogger and I have decided to start watching the show Lost now that it's completely over, we're freaks. And almost every episode does a flashback to remind you of what was on the previous episode - that gets pretty old when you are watching multiple episodes in a row. Yeah, we're totally lame and are doing nothing after dinner but watching a show that is no longer on the air.
Digress much? Okay back to the good stuff...like this:

We knew we wanted to go somewhere we had never been. And we are most definitely beach people so it needed to be warm with lots of opportunities for lounging in the sun - preferably with cocktails. What? I'm just keeping it real.
We had already done cruises to all over Mexico - go figure, huh? And when we got engaged, we visited both Belize and Guatemala. So that narrowed things down to either the Caribbean or Hawaii. Luckily that decision was made pretty easily because good friends of ours are getting married in February in Hawaii. Second honeymoon anyone?
So to the Caribbean we go. We knew we wanted to go for longer than 7 days because this might be the only time we are able to justify taking that much time away from work. My awesome bosses gave me an extra week of vacation time so I'm thrilled we will actually be able to take a long, relaxing honeymoon.
After searching all of the usual sites in our cruising arsenal, we reached out to a travel agent to see if she was able to find anything better. Ultimately, we found the absolute best deal through the cruiseline directly, if you can believe it. But we like to work the system so after booking it through the cruiseline website, we passed all of our information off to our travel agent and she was able to secure us onboard credits - yippee!
I've done quite a bit of talking here...how about the details?
Here's our cruise ship. Ahoy!
Did I really just type "ahoy" up there? Yikes. So yes, that is our lovely ship. We will be spending 10 glorious nights in a balcony room - in the past the nicest we have had is an ocean view room so we are stoked. Wanna see where we are going? I thought you might.
The cruiseline's private island in the Bahamas
And I saved my favorite for last - my one request of a Caribbean cruise was that we had to stop in.....
I can hardly take it. We feel so lucky to have been able to book a honeymoon that we will love.
We have yet to book any excursions but I will say, there is one that we are pretty sure is a must:
It's called BOSS - Breathing Observation Submersible Scooter
Has anyone done this? I'm dying to try it! Note to self, bring underwater camera.
Anyone else taking a cruise for their honeymoon? Any suggestions for additional excursions if you've been to these islands?
