Gong show at Senior Frogs!

We had a FULL day off when we were in St.Thomas. So we went to Senior Frogs, where they are quite generous with giving out free tequila! There was a pool, and a volleyball court at this senior frogs, so we were there for hours! It was a blast!

Good way to start the day.. with a yard of Margarita!

Jord with his drink and very fashionable hat!

A day in Curacao!

Curacao is probably one of my favourite we go to here in the Caribbean! It has beautiful while sand beach, and the colors are beautiful. A few weeks ago Jordan and I had a date day just to explore!

The Rif Fort, right outside the port.

Then we got ice cream! I was a very hot day!

The moving bridge in Curacao! Very cool!

A yellow church. I thought it was very pretty.

GORGEOUS colors in the town!

Now, heading back to the ship!

PHOTOSHOOT!

On a beautiful day in Curacao, a few of us went to Cabana beach! It's one of my favourite beaches in Curacao. You can get a cabana for 15 dollars, and the bar tenders come right to you!! Not the mention the water is the prettiest shade of blue! It's the lazy persons dream beach destination. After lounging around in the sun for a few hours, we decided to take a few beach photos, but not just any beach photos...

Dancer style beach photos! Ali and I!

Almost mirrors!

Jarrod and I doing some organic jumps.

Somebody on the beach didn't think I could do a back handspring, so I had to prove them wrong!

Playing around with some color swap on the camera.

Crew show.

Last week the production cast did an all crew performance. Since not all crew is allowed to attend the production shows, we decided to do a full show just for them. It turned out to be a lot of fun, and we had an excellent crowd! On a regular show our call time is usually an hour before showtime. In that hour we pre-set all costumes, fix make-up, and stretch onstage. Usually the curtain is shut and we are all warming up behind that. But since it was for crew the main curtain was up, so a few of us used the opportunity to take some pictures using the full stage!

I thought it was a cool view of the stage.

The ladies of the cast!

And a classic jumping picture!!

Jordan and I.

Alison and I before the show!

Masquerade ball!

The production cast decided to host a party for the whole crew, here onboard the Serenade of the Seas! We made it a masquerade ball! It turned out to be a hit, and many crew members attended, and in costume too.

There we some very creative masks - some purchased, and some hand crafted! It was a great night of dancing, laughter, and drinks of course!

My Lady Gaga inspired mask! Which was taped to my face!

The Devil, or Jordan double fisting!

Jarrod's creative mask!

Visitors, Visitors, Visitors..

From April to May we had 4 weeks of Visitors! It kept us very busy!! We had Ryan for 2 weeks, right after that we had Katie and my mom for a week, and a few weeks after that we had Sheila, Shawna and Carrie. Those 4 weeks were some of my favourites within the last 6 months! We laughed alot, and made lots of memories. It made me feel like I was on vacation!! But after everyone left, I felt more homesick then ever! Here are a few of my favourite memories...

Ryan with his Bucket of Beer on the beach of St.Maarten!

They were living the life, just passed out under an umbrella!

We went to the waterfalls in Dominica, and they we GORGEOUS!

Boy will be boys! The played for hours in Antigua!

And the Katie arrived! Just before Chops!

Jord, mom and I went snorkelling at Champagne beach, in Dominica.

Mom and Katie won the Quest game on the ship!!

My family!

And then the partiers came onboard!!

A great shot of the 3 of them!

Atlantis was a blast!

The gay charter cruise was a hit! That group definitely liked to party! Almost every night there was a themed party. The only one I went to was the white party. It was crazy! There were hundreds of people all dressed in a sea of white, dancing on the top deck of the ship. Some people were dressed like white cowboys, and some were just wearing underwear and glow sticks. It was definitely an experience. The fashion show was good too. 10 of us from the cast modelled . And we all wore speedos... even the 3 girls! But the crowd loved it! A few of us dancers also got to dance pool side, while one of our singers, Nakaze, sang. We don't get to do that any regular week!! We did 2 numbers, 'When I grow up', and 'Firework'. Right after that, Kelly, Alison and myself stayed to play the 'Are you smarter then a straight girl' game! Sadly, we got outsmarted by the gay guys! The question were about fashion materials, song lyrics, and Sex and the City/Golden Girls trivia. I did OK on the Trivia, but the girls failed at fashion!! On the last day Jordan and I got to join some of the Atlantis cast in their Glee performance. Jordan played Finn, and I played Rachel. It was a mix of about 7 songs from Glee, and we all did lip-syncing, and dancing. All in all it was a very exciting week, and I kinda wish we had Atlantis all the time!!

But back to regular cruising now! We are in St.Lucia today, I am sitting poolside waiting for my BBC! Jordan is sun tanning.. or burning. Next week Ryan is coming, and we are really really looking forward to it!

The white party!

Well, my BBC is here, Thats all for now!
