Caribbean

This is a cruise Eric and I took for our 20th anniversary. We decided on Royal Caribbean, the Oasis of the Seas. At the time, it was the largest boat in the world. Our excursions included snorkeling in Jamaica along with climbing Dunn's River Falls, salsa /margarita making class followed by salsa dancing in Cozumel, and finally our own over the water Bungalow in Haiti with a private attendant. Accessibility was awesome on this Cruise, but I did learn an important lesson. If you have limited strength and mobility, always check to see how you will be getting back in the boat after snorkeling. After snorkeling for about an hour and having so much fun,I learned I could not climb the ladder back into the catamaran. One of the first mates, Rasta man, jumped into the water, told me to put my arms around his neck, he then, rung by rung, carried me up that ladder on his back. He definitely got a nice tip that day. If you like swimming, most cruises offer a snorkeling excursion which is accessible for the physically challenged on most boats, but always do your homework and find out for sure.
