The first cruise I went on was for my senior Spring Break in high school. What a trip - planned about a year ahead of time, we had about 30+ people in our group. My friends from high school and their families all went together on a week-long cruise through Eastern Caribbean.
We took our vacation on Royal Caribbean's ship, Explorer. Such a huge ship, there was even an ice skating rink in the middle of the ship.
It was so much fun having all of my friends in one spot on vacation. While the majority of the vacation was spent sitting out in the sun, we did take a little bit of time to go explore. We stopped in Puerto Rico, St. Marten, St. Thomas, and the Bahamas. One of my favorite stops was in the Bahamas - we got off the boat and explored the Atlantis resort. There were certain areas that the public can access; I remember walking through the casino, watching a lady drop $100 coins into a slot machine.
I personally love cruises as vacations. They're just so relaxing; you don't have to worry about anything. I don't like to have relaxing vacations all of the time, but when I need to unwind, a cruise would be what I'd want. It's so crazy how cheap cruises are these days. If I lived in Miami, I'd take a weekend cruise every now and then, just to get away.
