Relaxing at Sea: My Caribbean cruise experience

[admin]

My Caribbean cruise involved seven days of sun-bathing on the decks of a luxury liner, sipping on fruity cocktails and shopping at every Caribbean port we stopped at.

By the end of my week aboard the ship, I was not able to decide whether I liked staying on board or getting off at the ports to sightsee and shop. This was because I found everything I wanted on the ship, from gorgeous swimming pools, to bars, pubs and nightclubs, to boutiques galore that sold swimsuits and all the summery outfits that I could possibly want.

The ship I was on even had a rock climbing wall, a miniature golf course and an ice skating rink – which I found to be particularly decadent. There is just something about being able to ice skate in the middle of the Caribbean at the height of summer that will make you feel like you are “living the high lifeâ€￾ so to speak!

I also took full advantage of all the facilities aboard which included a luxury spa and fitness centre and treated myself to soothing massage on day 5 and a short workout on day 3. On Day 2 I spent the evening playing blackjack and roulette at the casino on board and even managed to win a couple of hundred dollars.

Since the ship docked at different ports during the course of the cruise, I was able to go out and explore the different islands in the Caribbean and the different attractions to be found there. In Puerto Rico, I spent the day exploring the El Yunque Forest and swimming in the Baño Grande with my companion, which was followed by a quick shopping trip and meals on the island.

On our trips to the next few islands we managed to include scuba diving, souvenir shopping and a lot of exploring and island shopping. If you need Caribbean accommodation whilst on land the guys at Holiday-velvet.com offer Caribbean rentals.
