Robin and Lisa.
Jared, Shari and Shelby.
Sandbar Sports Grill & Bar, Cocoa Beach, FL.

"What the hell. Where's the sun at?"
A nice sunny day in Cocoa Beach. June 22nd, 2008.
Look what we found in the sand.
Shelby's new friend.
Boy, I sure don't look happy here.
VIP check-in rules!
Thanks to VIP check-in, we have a few hours before the rooms are ready and wait for everyone else to board. May as well have a drink, or two, or three...
Lisa knew the answer to Screech-the-cruise-director's trivia question: E.T. (and got this cool medal)
Me and Lisa's suite. Pretty nice!
Oops, they forgot to make us a queen bed. Our "I Love Lucy" moment.
Shelby and Shari's quarters in steerage. Not very pleased after seeing our suite.
A few minutes later, Shari and Shelby make themselves comfortable in the suite. They'll be here a lot.
A view from our private balcony. There's the Disney ship (right) and Royal Caribbean (left).
Under the gangway you can see the massive hangars at Kennedy Space Center.
Finally leaving Port Canaveral, here are some stringrays, or some kind of rays, swimming alongside the ship.
Luggage hasn't arrived yet, so everyone enjoys a few drinks out on the balcony.
That's a big boat. And boxey, too.
The Disney cruise ship is making good time.
The Disney ship passes us.
Karaoke night. Yabba dabba do.
Our first towel creature.
Dawn on June 23rd, 2008. Approaching Freeport, Bahamas.
Lisa fell in love with the salmon, part of the continental breakfast and 24hr room service.
Nice warm water. You pretty much ignore the seaweed. Lucaya Beach.
A series of action shots of tubby me running into the ocean.
Me with seaweed hair.
Cheyenne getting braids. I didn't realize how popular that was in the Bahamas.
Cheyenne lounging after our parasail ride.
We're pretty far off shore.
Kind of a sketchy setup here.
Shari and Jared coming in...
These guys might want to pay attention to those two attached to the parachute...
...Shari laughing at the guys dodging them.
This is somehow a sign, given our final ship account balance!
Did I mention 90% humidity?
Lisa enjoys being wet.
A nice shot of containers being loaded onto a freighter.
First customers of the day, a shot to remember, on our way out of Freeport.
Remnants of Hurricane Wilma (2005).
Getting ready for the Captain's cocktail party.
The bluest water I've ever seen.
Mr. and Mrs. Towel Elephants
Dawn erupts over Nassau, Bahamas. June 24th, 2008. Wedding day! Hotel Atlantis on Paradise Island in the background.
Yep, it's hot and humid in Nassau, too.
Nassau by car.
Our last day at sea, June 25th, 2008.
Geek that I am, I brought my GPS with us to mark the important places. The waypoint marked 'Love' was our exact location of the wedding on the beach, of course.
Cheers!
The girls hanging out.
Robin feeding Jared.
Silly rabbit.
Carnival Sensation, cabin U94. Highly recommended.
