So we were lucky enough as an office to hit our goal last year and earned another cruise together! We have been planning it for months and we can't wait! We packed up and left our husbands and kids at home and this is our crew at the airport waiting to go to the Caribbean.
We took the red eye flight to Ft. Lauderdale and got there the morning our ship was leaving. We had most the day to just hang out so we checked onto the cruise ship as early as possible so we could start our vacation. We ordered shirts as an office to wear and this was our motto for the year - "Work like a captain, play like a pirate."
Our ship was the Liberty of the Seas and it was awesome. Seriously so many fun things to do!
We had a few hours before the ship left port so we explored the ship, enjoyed the view from our balcony in our rooms and waited to wave goodbye to land for a week.
We had so much to do on our "at-sea" days but the thing we liked most was laying by the pool and taking in the sun.
The ship also had a flo-rider on it and most of us tried it. It is definitely harder than it looks. We tried the boogie boarding style and also the surfing style. Some caught on quicker than others, but it was for sure a workout. But super fun!
One of our stops got cancelled because of weather, but we did get to stop in Haiti for one of our days. We were all so excited to be on land and be off the ship for a day. And the island was beautiful!
A group of us signed up to ride the zipline while we were there. It was quite a sight to look at from the ground up but looked so so fun! We got our gear on and were ready to go.
We did a couple of short lines first to get the hang of it, then they shipped us up to the top of the mountain to zip all the way down across the ocean. It was quite a sight!
And it was a rush!!!! The view from the top was amazing and even better on the way down!
Our group that made it through!
We also enjoyed some beach time on the island. It was SO HOT! Over 105 degrees the whole afternoon. So we spent a lot of time cooling off in the water. And in the shade!
We loved our time in Haiti!
One of my favorite things about the cruise is the yummy food. The dining room is so pretty and nice and I feel so special getting served every night. And the food doesn't disappoint. My favorite...Lobster night. We also loved the smoothies that we ordered whenever we could. It was our treat for the week!
Formal night is always fun too and everyone looked so great. I love this pic of all the staff together!
Dad and I are training for the Ogden Marathon so we got up early every morning and ran. They had an outdoor track that ran all the way around the top of the ship so that was our place every morning. It was so nice and refreshing to get out early and have the place to ourselves.
We also climbed the rock wall and it was really fun. So many fun adventurous things to do on the ship!
Always the best part is just hanging out together and goofing off just because we can! I love all these gals!
Thanks to dad and Dr. V for a great staff retreat and getaway! We have such a great staff and as always had a blast together!
