The day after our wedding we were due to board a cruise ship by 4 p.m. We woke up feeling, well, hungover. I was so miserable as I tried to last minute pack and head to the port. We didn't have a far drive (we were leaving out of Tampa), but I still was soooooo out of it.
When we woke up in our honeymoon suite, we didn't know where Scott's car was. WTF? Where did it go? We did a drive-by of our venue and the other hotels in the area. Turns out Scott gave my dad his keys and told him to take it home. Neither of us remember this. When we get home, there's a random car ditched in our driveway (a guest's car died on him on the drive over). Everyone is haggard, the band's PA system was misplaced. Hot Mess.
When we finally were packed and got to the port... I was SO DISAPPOINTED that Carnival was handing out fliers that said Belize was canceled. That's like the MAIN reason I booked the cruise that I did. It was supposed to be a 7-day cruise on the Carnival Legend to Grand Cayman, Belize, Honduras (Roatan) and Cozumel. A major BOO to the missing Belize. I wanted to go cave tubing SO BAD! Anyways, the letter explained something about the safety of the port in Belize and how it was best we skipped it. Ok.... well. Whatever. They replaced that destination with Costa Maya--a place I knew nothing about. (It would end up being my second favorite place!)
We got on the boat, explored, napped. We made it to dinner where I scarfed down a Caesar Salad, Shrimp Cocktail and a steak. We were in bed by 9:30. Happy Honeymoon, Happy Hangover.
We don't even have any pictures of this night because we were SO wiped out! Okay, scratch that. I took one picture of the SKyway Bridge as our cruise ship went under it.

Leaving for the honeymoon the day after the wedding could definitely be tiring. We were exhausted the day after the wedding. We left for our honeymoon 2 days after the wedding.
Aww, I'm sorry they cancelled Belize, but at least they made up for it! I never even made it to dinner that first night of our cruise, I was in bed trying not to sway, lol.
I've been waiting for these forever now! YAY!
Totally boo to hangovers and canceling Belize, we enjoyed cave tubing. But tendering at Belize was a bitch.
Can't wait for these!
That's funny that y'all woke up and didn't know where his car was! I can't wait to hear about the rest of the honeymoon!
haha - sounds like this is going to be a great trip ;) joking, hangovers suck!
Hah this post reminded me of "dude where's my car" :-)
My honeymoon started off {almost} the same way...we were a complete mess after the wedding and barely enjoyed the first day. But I can't wait to hear the rest of your trip, I'm sure it was great! :)
this sounds like an amazing honeymoon. Well, after this day. Ours was terrible. The car situation is really funny, not at the time, but now it is.
Oh man! I would have been freaking out about not being able to find the car. Glad you guys made it to the ship and that they replaced your stop with another.
Canceled Belize? Boooo. Still sounds fab though :)
Your honeymoon looks like a blast! I went to bed early every night of mine. haha
