Babymoon in the Bahamas

LJ and I decided that it would be much more fun to go on a cruise for thanksgiving than to have to schlep ourselves back to Ohio and do that whole thing.

We dropped baby Murphy man at Camp Bow Wow and made the 4 hour venture to Charleston and hopped on the boat on Thanksgiving Day. We explored the ship and made a “no elevator rule” because we are young able bodies that can walk our asses up stairs after seeing all the people using elevators to go up one floor. If you need the elevator, cool, if you are lazy, you suck.
The boat left the dock at 5 and finally, it was dinner time. I was totally expecting some ridiculous food because it was HELLO THANKSGIVING!?!? But it was just normal cruise food, nothing special—I was PISSED. I want flair, with pilgrims, giant turkeys, and pies everywhere. WTF Carnival.

Day 1 day at sea
Got sick in the morning. Way to start it off with a bang linds. Rocking boats and morning sickness.We jacked around for the whole day again. For dinner we had oysters Rockefeller, filet mignon and short ribs. We were not Impressed with the food again but the chocolate lava cake was good. After dinner we went to a show and saw “The Brits” which was a play on the beetles songs.

Day 2 day at sea
Still too cold to lay out but there were some troopers out on the deck trying to suck the life from the sun. I wasn’t ready yet to don my bathing suit so we shopped and gambled a little bit until dinner.  It was the Captain’s dinner so we had to dress up. Have you ever tried to walk in high heels, knocked up, on a vessel that is swaying back and forth? Yeah that shit is unnecessary. At dinner we had lobster and large shrimp and dessert was a cheese plate and caramel apple delish plate of love. I would say this was by far the best day of food that we had all cruise. Levi really digs the comedy shows so we went to two of them a show for kids and adults.

Day 3

Ate breakfast and got off the boat in Nassau but not after of course getting sick. It’s a beautiful world I live in.  We walked to jenkonoo beach and just hung out. It was still too cold to lay out because of the wind, the sun was nice. We walked about 5+ miles around Nassau to see the queen’s staircase which was really neat.

 It did wear me out though. Definitely the first time I have been swollen on my feet and my hands. I looked like the state puffed marshmallow man.  It was the Ohio State Michigan game day so we had our shirts on and loved everyone yelling OH-IO and go bucks! I think we were somewhere around 20 people saying things to us :)

Day 4
Oh My God we slept in until 10am!!! I haven’t done that since high school!! We wanted to go on this sick excursion in Freeport where we would go hiking and then go canoeing and hang out with nature. It was 1 of like 5 excursions that pregnant people could go on per the Carnival booking information. LJ and I went to purchase it and of course the woman said that I wouldn't be allowed to go because it was “very vigorous” and they “don’t recommend pregnant women to take this trip” Listen lady, I don’t have time for your shit. I want to canoe and hike. Needless to say, we ended up going to the beach where LJ had an all you can drink pass and I just laid out and enjoyed the sunshine.  Check out this little lady bump.

 
Day 5 
Another day at sea.  NOOOO

Finally, we were back in Charleston and we got our land legs back. All in all the trip was good, but definitely not up to my expectations, so that kind of sucked. It was really nice to not have our phones on for 5 days and to be completely off the grid from everyone. I would give the overall trip a "C" if I had to.
