Explorer of the Seas

I can't wait to go on the Voyager of the Seas next week.  This is going to be my 3rd cruise of that ship class.  Last June I was on the Explorer of the Seas and I had a blast.   The 9 night out of New Jersey was so convenient.  I was lucky enough to spend 2 days in Bermuda which I am so glad I did.  It gave me enough time to see the island and try different options without to much pressure or feeling rushed.  My girlfriend at the time was with me we ended up meeting other couples our age right away.  I was a little unsure about the 2 days it would take to reach the Bahamas but it ended up in our favor.  We had time to really get to know and friend people on the ship.  So when we ended up in Nassau we all went to Atlantis together 5 couples total.  We got the full passes and walked through the aquarium then head out to the water slides.  Somehow we ended up on the beach and rented jet skis right off the beach for $100 dollars each which was great.  So we had an hour I was with my girlfriend on the back and we were just flying around having a good time until we ran out of gas in the middle of the ocean.  It took what seemed like forever but finally a boat came by and picked us up.  The people on the beach acted like it wasn't a big deal and said I could take it for longer but by then I didn't even want it anymore.  Next stop was Coco Cay Royal Caribbean's private island.  The have built it up pretty nice and the snorkeling was great I got to ee beautiful fish.  There was also a BBQ on the beach and a underwater plane wreck which I didn't have a chance to see.  So thats about it the ship is amazing the ice rink and shows on ice are probably my favorite part I go to every one.
