This was our ship, the Carnival Glory.
First stop, Nassau.
Zach and Tyler in front of the fish tank at Atlantis resort in Nassau.
This Sting ray was huge, and moved incredibly fast!
This is his face...crazy huh?!!
You had to pay to get into Atlantis, so we searched for a good long while to find the FREE beach near the resort (which was totally hidden). Apparently they think it is funny to frustrate people into paying to get into Atlantis, but we were not suckered into their trap...we persevered!! :)
We snuck around the back side of Atlantis and got some good pics inside. We thought it was OK to be in there, until we were asked for our room key. Sheepishly we walked out!!
Zach was NOT satisfied, so he proceeded to find another way in. As we sat and watched and laughed at Zach sneaking under the bridge, Tyler asked a local how we could get in. He told us that they switch posts every 30 minutes, and just to wait 15 minutes for the her to leave. We took his advice and walked in 15 minutes later! Tyler and Zach played at the amazing water park for a minute until they learned they needed a wrist band...ha! It was fun while it lasted!! This is Zach sneaking in under the bridge! He had to hide in the bushes to avoid to getting caught by security. It was hilarious!
We played NERTZ (a speedy card game) almost every night on the ship! Tyler and I were thrilled that Andrea and Zach liked it so much, because it is one of our favorite games to play.
Formal night. Some wore evening dresses and suits, and I wore a church dress. Some people take the dressing up thing very seriously....ME, not so much! :)
Second stop...St. Thomas! This is a picture on our way to Meaghan's Bay.
Andrea striking a pose on the beach in St. Thomas. She is 22 weeks pregnant with a girl! I know you can't tell she is preggers, it's because she is so freakin' skinny!
Me on the beach in St. Thomas
Just a pretty pic of St. Thomas.
Third stop...St. Maarten! This was our favorite island. We rented 4 wheelers, and rode around the whole island. The 4 wheelers are street legal there.
Sorry, this pic is out of order. This was taken in St. Thomas. We were there on inauguration day, and everyone was crazy for "their" president, as the locals would say when asked. All the locals were wearing Obama shirts and hats. Tyler said to one girl, "hey, are you a Barack fan?" Her response, "he's my president!" He replied bluntly, "I can't stand him." The look on her face was PRICELESS!! St. Thomas is part of the US Virgin Islands.

St. Maarten is divided into a Dutch and French side. The french side had nude beaches, and the boobs were out in full swing! No worries though, no GOOD boobs, so I wasn't nervous about Tyler seeing anything he shouldn't. I saw a mom feeding her daughter yogurt while topless...now there's something you don't see everyday!!
Don't I look HOT in my helmet...Ha!
I warned Tyler not to push his head back too far, but he didn't listen, so I feel justified in posting this pic displaying his double chin!! It's a good thing he really doesn't ever look at our blog, or he might take issue with this pic...J/K!! :)
We were headed around the west side of the island just as the sun was setting...it was gorgeous!
Isn't this island beautiful!
This is us at dinner. We had late dinner, and we usually closed out the restaurant every night...our waiter LOVED us...lol
We had a blast on our Caribbean cruise, and we can't wait for the next one! I think we will be life long cruisers! This was the fourth cruise for both of us. Zach and Andrea have us beat though. This was Zach's 6th cruise and Andrea's 5th, so we have some catching up to do!! :) Zach and Andrea were great cruising buddies!!

How fun. It looks like you guys had a great time. We want to be your cruising buddies!! We will have to plan a trip next year.
Lets do it again! I just saw a deal on last minute cruises!
So fun! Zach and I have only taken one cruise and we LOVED it too!
I spent some time at that Atlantis resort a couple years ago, it was pretty fun, but no one was allowed on the beaches then because a hurricane was threatening to come the whole time I was there so we spent all of our time at the pool and water slides.
Looks like you all had a great time!
How fun! That is so nice you have some fun friends to do that with. New York and the Carribean two months in a row...you are so lucky. The nude beaches are hilarious. Whether there are good boobs or not definitely makes a difference!
How fun! I was/am going to call you to hear more about it, although the blog was really good at describing it. :) For some reason I thought it was only a 5 day cruise so we tried to get a hold of you last weekend to hang out. duh!, on my part. :) Looks like you had a great time! Maybe some day in a couple years we can plan one together too.
I'm jealous! It looks like so much fun! Maybe one day!
I think we both found good ways to see 2009 in! But where are pictures of the food? LOL

So many places to see, so little time. Sounds like it was a great trip. It doesn't sound like you need a travelling buddy, but if you ever do, give me a call. I love going places.
"no GOOD boobs"...that is hilarious Nicole!!! Looks like you guys had an awesome time. I am definitely jealous.
So fun! I am so ready for a vacation. It is our 5 year anniversary in May so hopefully Cory will take me somewhere! I have always been hesitant on cruises but it looks like you had a blast and love them so we might have to try one out!
Wow, looks like fun and warm! I actually have never done the cruise thing. We were supposed to last year for our anniversary, but we moved to Illinois instead! LOL Oh well, someday!
