Cruisin' to the Bahamas: Day 1

Living in Florida makes taking a cruise a cheap, quick getaway. I actually live in a city where cruise ships dock, but for this cruise, we decided to head to the other coast so we could have faster access to the Bahamas. We got up extra early and drove to Port Canaveral. It was a fast ride, and we stopped at Ron Jon Surf Shack in Cocoa Beach for trashy tourist shopping.

At the port, boarding was very fast and easy. We were cruising on Royal Caribbean's Monarch of the Seas--one of their older boats.

Pretty pedicures in the pool

Requirement: Tacky room door decorations. This door was my mom's &
the stickers say "Cougar Crossing."

Dinner on the first night. They gave us a sweet set-up that felt like a VIP lounge at a club, lol.
A nice comfy couch!

As the girls' cruise took off, we enjoyed poolside drinks, yummy food (I tried Indian food for the first time...interesting), and I passed out before midnight. I'm such a rock star!

Oh, and P.S. I made a Facebook page for my blog. I read an article about why every blog needs a Facebook page... and I totally bought into it! Go on, *like* me! Krystal's Kitsch
