It was a beautiful ship “Majesty of the Seas”.  She had two pools, multiple dining rooms, restaurants, a casino, too many bars to count, a climbing wall, a gym, and so on.  Of course I am a salt-water soul so one would assume it would be the trip of a lifetime.  There were some wonderful moments, mostly shared with my friend Brenda.  She was the instigator of the trip, as we were celebrating her 60th!  The best part was time spent with her.  We learned to play the roulette table, met a wonderful couple from Quebec who could barely speak english (I kept forgetting, slipping into a bit of Spanish until they reminded me they are French:), and drank many coco-locos on multiple beaches (mine were virgin of course).  The food was extraordinarily good, but the snorkeling excursions made the trip.  First a trip to Cococay, an island owned by Royal Caribbean.  They had a sunken WWII plane near the shore and an old civil war ship wrecked close enough to it in shallow water.  Amazing to snorkel two wrecks in the same location!  The second trip was 10 miles due east off the coast of Key West.  An old circa 1800s lighthouse was sitting atop a beautiful reef rising out of the Atlantic.  The fish were more than a little friendly, having been fed by divers obviously.  Such an amazing experience to become part of this strange other-wordly scene, and to be so readily accepted as friendly by such beautiful creatures.  Overall a memorable experience, however by day 5 I was ready to set foot on some terra firma.  It was nice to be in a bed that didn’t rock:)
