Saturday we boarded the boat at 11am, and headed out to sea at 5pm. That afternoon we had a great afternoon playing at the pool and exploring the ship.
Sunday we made our first stop - The Bahamas! We went to the Atlantis for our excursion. It was FANTASTIC! We're definitely planning a trip back! They had awesome pools, water slides, water slides that connected pools, a lazy river with rapids, and it was on the beach! And that was what we saw. There's also swimming with dolphins, an aquarium, casino, shopping... all at the resort!
Monday we were at sea. That day we had a little medical emergency with T. She got her hand stuck between the sliding doors of the elevator. I can give more details later. She's fine, just has a bruised hand and wrist.
Tuesday we reached our second stop - St. Thomas. We could see clouds as we were pulling up to the island. It rained about 1/2 way into our bus tour and rained off and on for about an hour. We still had a fun time on the beach - so much fun that Mikey fell asleep on the bus back to the dock. (Katie napped on the bus ride to the beach.)
Wednesday we reached our final stop - St. Maarten (dutch)/St. Martin (french). It's half dutch and half french. We docked on the dutch side and took a nice bus tour to the french side where the beach was. Here's a quick pic of Katie's curls in the humidity. Very cute :) We enjoyed this stop much more than St. Thomas. The tour was more organized and the beach was a lot nicer. And the weather was beautiful!
Here are just a few last pics...
Mikey and his airbrush tattoo. A rainbow fish.
Derek and me sunning ourselves... the kids were in the play place for a couple hours on Thursday and Friday so we could hang in the sun with the other adults :)
This was after our "formal dinner." Mikey fell asleep on my lap after he ate his dinner.
Katie LOVED the carousel. She had to ride this white horse every time.
This is me in on the set, in the crashed airplane.
One last picture from Georgia. 
03/25/11. Southside's wedding. She looked beautiful. 
This bar was called Rising Tide (blue bottom). It moved between the 5th floor (The Royal Promenade - indoor) and 8th floor (Central Park - outdoor).
Looking down from the sports deck to the boardwalk. Katie's favorite place because it had the carousel. The aqua theater is at the back. We saw a very cool diving/acrobats show there. Mikey LOVED it.
Inside the basketball court on the 15th floor sports/pool deck. There were nets all around the basketball courts, so the balls wouldn't come out.
Looking down from the 16th floor to the "beach" pool on the 15th floor. This pool had salt water and some of the lounge chairs were in water like a beach.
Looking down to the kids pool, from the 16th floor.
Central Park - a look from above.
There's a zip line from one side on the 15th floor to the other. Looking straight down to the 6th floor boardwalk. Can you see the man on the zip line? Red shirt... 
Rock climbing wall.
Me in the peanut chair. This was at our last dinner... our chairs reminded me of peanut shells.
Monday we were at sea. That day we had a little medical emergency with T. She got her hand stuck between the sliding doors of the elevator. I can give more details later. She's fine, just has a bruised hand and wrist. 
That's where our boat parked... we're leaving St. Maarten.
