Annual Family Reunion Cruise - Wonder of the Seas - Jun 1 - 8, 2025

 May 31, 2025

Everyone arrived safely at our pre-cruise destination.  Most of us stayed at Wingate by Wyndham.  

June 1, 2025


 After our morning gathering at the hotel, everyone journeyed to Port Canaveral to board our ship, Wonder of the Seas. It was such fun exploring this gorgeous ship and getting settled into our rooms.


Sunsets on a cruise are truly spectacular! We love our dining table and servers! It's going to be a fabulous week.

June 2, 2025 - Coco Cay

David, Lily, and I headed out to spend the day at Coco Cay. I parked myself under an umbrella while they ran off to go on all the crazy slides.  I was very proud of how David and Lily would return to me about once an hour to put on more sunscreen!  Eventually, they were hungry, so we went to the Snack Shack for lunch. I enjoyed my visitor.




 Rich, Rachelle, Connor, and Melanie enjoyed their day at the adult pool. Ari and Robert enjoyed the ship with most of the passengers away.

June 3, 2025 - Day at Sea

My favorite days on a cruise - relaxing on sea days. Everyone did whatever made them happy - hanging out at the pool, reading, sleeping, playing ping pong, etc.  Tonight was formal night, so we all tried to look our best!










We attended the hysterical Love & Marriage Show. Connor and Melanie were up on the Jumbotron Kiss Cam.






June 4, 2025 - Costa Maya, Mexico

It was a gloriously sunny and very hot day for exploring Costa Maya.  As we entered the  town, the locals were performing traditional sun dances.






We are having the BEST TIME at Table 436 with Angga and Kevison!!


June 5, 2025 - Roatan, Hondurus

Happy Anniversary, Rich and Rachelle.  What an awesome way to celebrate!



Our excursion started at a chocolate factory with delicious samples. Naturally, we had to make a few purchases.  Next stop was a cool iguana reserve. We had such fun feeding them.



We walked down to the dock and spotted some cool fish, then held the iguanas.




Everyone was super excited about our next stop - monkeys and sloths!!









Back on the ship, we continued celebrating Rich and Rachelle, at dinner!





June 6, 2025 - Cozumel, Mexico

Our excursion today included a catamaran ride to a private beach, and we had a ball.  First, there was a snorkel break, and Melanie's first time snorkeling.  She nailed it.






Our private beach visit was so relaxing.  Rachelle even had a massage on the beach.  Best of all, while we were there, we had phone service again AND......Connor was able to find out that he received a job promotion!  Yipeeeeee! Way to go, Connor!


Our sail back to the ship was filled with music and dancing!


Back on the ship, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, then dinner and the silent disco!







June 7, 2025 - Final Day at Sea

I love how Royal Caribbean always has a patriotic tribute to the military.  It really was super impressive!





We had so much fun on this cruise, we've booked another one for next year! Can't wait to cruise on Royal's newest ship, Star of the Seas next June!

After a wonderfully relaxing day at sea, we said our final good byes to our amazing servers!


So until next cruise!
