And, we're off! David, Lily, Zaydie and Bubbie drove from Marietta, GA to Orlando, FL to meet Rich, Rachelle, and Connor at the Comfort Suites to begin our official Kleimon vacation. Zaydie took a nap while David and Lily swam as Rich and Lana visited. We all went to Fish on Fire for delicious seafood.

Everyone met in the breakfast area before heading to Port Canaveral. After a speedy check in, we headed to the Windjammer for lunch.
After lunch, we went to our Cabin, unpacked, settled in while waiting for the storm to pass. Next, we participated in the Safety Drill, then took the kids for sign up in the Adventure Club. David and Lily decided they were starving, so we opted to let them have an early dinner and check into the Adventure Club. The rest of the group met for our 8:15 time in the main dining room. The old folks picked up David and Lily from the AC and headed to bed, while the younger folks checked out the clubs.

Cocoa Cay, Bahamas. Off we went to our first excursion, the newly opened water park, "A Perfect Day at Cocoa Cay."
David and Lily immediately set their goal to go down the largest slide in North America. They started with the smallest slide (still pretty high up in my opinion) and gradually worked up to The Dragon's Peak. So, they patiently waited for over an hour, creeping up to the top, only to have thunder stop the ride. Down they came, but they waited at the bottom of the steps to be first in line when the storm passed, which it did. And, up they went again, this time the creep only took 45 minutes. They rode it!
While they loved the adventure, they weren't willing to wait in the long line again, so they visited the wave pool and other rides. Yep, I would bet they did think it was a perfect day.
Back on board, once again David and Lily were starving, so they had an early dinner and checked into the AC. After dinner, we went to the amazing Ice Show! Soooooo fantastic. David enjoyed it, but sweet Lily slept through it.

Day at Sea! Love, love, love these days at sea. We slept in, had breakfast, then checked Lily and David into the AC. I worked out at the gym, then worked on embroidery while enjoyed our relaxing balcony. After AC. we enjoyed pool time, ice cream (of course), and then, you guessed it, another early dinner, followed by the AC. After dinner, we all attended Grease, which was fabulous!

St. Thomas, USVI. We docked around noon, and headed to the dock for our excursion ride.

We rode to Cas Cay and kayaked, hiked, and snorkeled. The weather was magnificent, the scenery beautiful, and we really enjoyed our excursion.
Unfortunately, our photographer did not capture our day sufficiently. BUT, we'll always have our memories!
Sonny, at Alpha Jewelers took VERY good care of us, providing a taxi back to the ship with minutes to spare. SCORE!
Tonight's Aqua Show, "The Fine Line" was incredible. David and Lily were in the splash zone and truly had not a dry thread after the show. After a quick change, they went to the AC and we went to dinner. Another great day!

St Maartin/St Marten. David and Lily decided to spend the morning at the AC while the rest of us dashed into town for a little shopping.
Mission accomplished, so we headed back to ship for a quick lunch, ward robe change, and to head off to our next excursion, horseback riding at Lucky Stables. Our guide, Remi, was amazing! We had sooooo much fun riding up to the top of the hill, looking out at the lagoon, then riding our horses back to the beach for an ocean ride.June 13, 2019

We had such an amazing time! Loved our horseback riding. After a quick clean up, David and Lily stayed with Zaydie while Bubbie went to the Diamond Lounge for an hour of quiet. Then we all dressed for dinner.
Didn't we clean up well?

Another fabulous day at sea! After sleeping in, we enjoyed breakfast in the Windjammer, then David and Lily were off to the AC. I had an appointment at Future Cruises, but also had enough time to work out at the gym, take a nice walk on the deck, and grab a quick lunch with Rob, Rich and Rachelle. At Future Cruise, arrangements were made for another Kleimon Celebration Cruise in 2020 on the Harmony of the Seas. Formal nigh tonight, and don't we look awesome?!
June 15, 2019
Our last full day. Sigh. Such a fabulous cruise. BUT, today we need to accomplish all our "want tos" such as checking out our pictures, riding the "Rising Tide Bar" and riding The Abyiss one more time.
So, David and Lily went with Aunt Rachelle, Uncle Rich, and Connor to play a bit of ping pong, as well as eat pizza and ice cream.
