The Honeymoon: Why Hello Hurricane Alex!

After our adventure in Key West, Jason and I decided to explore the ship! We found the front (I forgot the ship term lol)! It was so cool! We could actually see how fast the ship was sailing, which was super fast! Way cool to watch. Of course, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take Titantic pictures! The only problem was it was SO SO SO SO SO WINDY! I have never been blown around so much! Talk about intense!

These pictures prove how windy it was. We tried to take pictures together but each was a fail because of my hair! At least they are funny....

After our ship exploration, it was formal night! Jason and I got to dress up all fancy! It was so fun! The Saturday before we left for the cruise, Jason took me shopping for a formal night dress. I love shopping with him! We looked all over the place, and found the one I am wearing in the pictures for only $40 at Nordstrom! It was regular $90! SCORE! I love Lily Pulitzer dresses : ) simply classy!

On formal night we got to "meet" all the important people on the cruise (captain etc.). It was cool to actually see the people who were usually behind the scenes!

We decided to splurge on formal night and get fancy drinks! Of course, without alcohol! Plus without the alcohol, it was half the price. YAY! We both got a drink called a "kiss on the lips". Oh my goodness! SO GOOD! Jason and I basically died...it was that fabulous! It had mango and peach and strawberry and a bunch of other deliciousness! AND a cute little umbrella! Loved it!

The next morning we woke up in the midst of Hurricane Alex. WOAH! The ship was moving all over the place. Jason and I couldn't even walk in a stright line, as you will see in the video below. Jason is in no way exaggerating in that video! The winds were sustained at 50 mph! It was epic! I kept running into walls.

Fortunetely neither Jason nor I got sea sick...although I was close a few times. At breakfast I had to hold onto the table to keep from falling over and/or throwing up. The crew (who is used to this) was even getting sick! That's how intense it was! People were throwing up all over the place, including the hallway and the whole ship smelled of vomit. EW! Keep in mind, that isn't normal though (we were in a hurricane). Plus, it was really funny and kind of fun at some points...
