This was our ship this time. We sailed on The Carnival Fascination. Although it was a beautiful ship, it wasn't nearly as nice as the last ship we took. We were told they were sister ships, but I think they must have done cut backs because the service was not up to par with the last cruise.
This is by far one of my favorite pictures. The photo does not do justice to the beauty of that water though. It was taken from our glass bottom boat tour in the Bahamas. We were on our way to a sunken ship. It was AMAZING!!
This was taken as we were leaving the harbor on the cruise ship. It was one of the best photo's we have from Key West, Fl. The water was clear and beautiful. It was unbelievably hot and I was ready for my air conditioning.
I am tired of sitting at the computer now or I would share several more. I have photo's of Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. We tried to take the picture at night when it was lit up so pretty but it was too cloudy and neither of our camera's would pick up anything but the fog.

We left Jacksonville on Monday afternoon and traveled thru the next day and arrived at Key West early in the morning on Wednesday. We were there for about 7hours and that was plenty for me. It was hot, people were everywhere and I was just ready to be in the air. The water was definitely worth the heat to see. T and I are water bugs and we enjoyed it.
We took a boat tour there and hated it. The brochure said air conditioned, but they lied. They had two vents and a billion people inside. I was really disappointed.

Thursday we were in the bahamas when we woke up. It was unreal. I could not believe how clear and blue the water was. We took a boat tour there as well, but it didn't compare to the hot mess we had in the Keys. The worst part about the day was the flea market we stopped at. I was so aggravated at the people there I could have screamed. They got up in your face to buy things. It was so bad I had to cross the street and head back to the boat because I couldn't handle it anymore. One lady came up to us and put bracelets on our arms. She said it was free for everyone but all they ask is that we make a donation for the disabled kids. I handed her a few dollars and so did my husband. She chased me sister in law thru the flea market and asked her for money and when she found out she didn't have cash with her she ripped it back off her arm and took off. Grr! I hate that stuff.

All in all we had a great vacation but it wasn't long enough. We plan to do it again, but I don't know how soon. I think this next year is going to be all about getting our own home and not about a vacation. A place of our own will be a vacation in itself!!

Glad you had a good time. Sorry the ship and service wasn't up to par.
I loved going on a cruise last year. sigh. I want to go back!
Glad you are back. I hope that everything is ok. Sorry about that boat tour. I would have been pretty upset too. The pictures you did post look gorgeous. I can only imagine the blue clear water in the Bahamas.
We've always talked about doing a cruise but we can never make up our minds which one to do.
I thought that Key West shot looked familar. the Westin resort! We've spent quite a few evening milling about down there when we were in Key West. I agree about the heat though. We were there in July (last time being in May last year) and it was scorching. That area where the ships dock is always crazy and crowded. When you get away from all that it's really nice.
Glad you guys had a great vacation. The water looks so pretty! I would love to go on a cruise.. guess it won't be for a long time though.
