Cruising has always been one of my favorite ways to vacation with my family. I have been on over ten cruises, the majority with Royal Caribbean. So when friends suggested we spend our senior year spring break on a cruise, I was all for it.
We booked a four-night cruise leaving from Port Canaveral, Florida, so we could spend the night before our trip with my grandparents right by the port. While I was skeptical that four nights and five days was not going to be a long enough trip, I was most definitely wrong.
We boarded the ship that Monday and immediately headed to the pool, what we hadn’t realized before that moment was that our ship consisted of 95% college students. We spent that day and night at the pool, only leaving for dinner.
The next morning the nine of us woke up, went to breakfast, and then headed off the ship to CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private isla
nd. We quickly found lounge chairs and spent the morning napping on the beach. After napping we woke up, ate lunch and decided it was time to swim. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the water, and headed back for the ship thoroughly sunburnt.
The rest of the cruise proceeded in a similar fashion, the main focus being spending time in the sun as well as eating. By the end of the week we were all ready for a second spring break, happily sunburnt.
