Cruise Vacation

Jan 22 2014

I went on a Caribbean cruise to Mexico, Jamaica, and Haiti. It was a much-needed relaxation from the busyness of work. The weather was perfect most days and the cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, was fantastic.

We took a behind the scenes tour of the cruise ship, which was really cool. We visited the bridge, engine control room, backstage theater, and the crew living areas.
