Honeymoon Highlights

Finally, we are posting pictures of our honeymoon! We absolutely loved it!! We suggest a cruise to anyone thinking about a honeymoon activity. Our 5 day Royal Caribbean cruise started in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and set off to Cozumel, Mexico and Belize City.

This was our first time cruising, so we were amazed with how much stuff there was on the ship. Apparently it was the 3rd largest ship in the world, so it had everything from an ice skating rink, rock climbing wall, roller blading, mini golf, swimming pools, movie theatre, comedy shows, theatres, and even parades at night!! Let's just say there was never a dull moment!

As you can see, it was like a floating hotel with all the bells and whistles. This is just a small view of the ship. We could only get half of it in the picture.

The sweet view from our balcony! This was when we were departing Ft. Lauderdale. We definitely recommend getting your own personal balcony if you go on a cruise.

This is the "promenade"...where they held nightly shows and parades. There were a ton of shops but we didn't buy much of anything...tacky royal caribbean t-shirts and jewelry were just not quite our thing.

**So, all the talk about amazing food on a cruise is true! There was a really fancy dining room with 3 floors with really nice chandeliers and servers waiting on you hand and foot. We talked about how we felt like we were on the Titanic because everything was so nice. The dining room was open in the middle so that you could see all three floors and could hear the live classical music throughout the entire room. On the second night it was the formal Captain's dinner. We almost felt like it was prom again. We got all dressed up and made it out just in time to catch the end of sunset. It was beautiful! Nothing like just being out in the open waters.

During our 5 days we were cruising for 3 days and went on excursions for 2 of the days. The first day we went to Cozumel, Mexico. Now, you think Mexico and think nice warm weather, sandy beaches, all that good stuff. Well...that's what we were expecting too, but within 5 minutes of renting our topless dune buggy it started pooring rain!!! Yikes. Of course we were wearing swim suits and cover ups and could have led to me getting sick on the fourth day of our honeymoon!

By the time we got to the beach it had just stopped raining, we were soaked, and did not want to even get in the water. Luckily by the time we got to another beach where we were going snorkeling the sun had come out! Snorkeling was a lot of fun, beautiful fish, and did I mention that Aaron's wedding band fell off in the water?! It lasted a good 4 days, and we purchased a really cheap one at the Mexican flea market until we replace the lost one. RIP!

And for the second excursion...we headed off to Belize City. This was definitely our favorite destination. The guide first took us through the city and told us a little bit about the people and the culture. Then, we went into the rain forest and did some zip lining & cave tubing through the Belizian rain forest. Doesn't that sound exotic?! It was so beautiful, and quite the feeling flying through the huge tropical forest.

Here are Stewy & Robyn on the zipline!

So...our honeymoon was fabulous! Definitely something we will always remember and enjoy looking back to. Thank you to all who came to the wedding and participated in our special day in one way or another. So, here we are on our final night enjoying the last sunset of the cruise.
