we in miami bish

nemo looking like a whole passport bro lol

so many nice photo-ops

So, this was our (my husband and I’s) very first time cruising ever. I’d only been on a cruise boat one other time shortly before this trip for a friend’s wedding, which was a Carnival-brand boat. After seeing how cool that ship was, my husband and I definitely wanted to try a cruise.

so many picturesque views

I’ll skip what it was like getting to Miami – it was a regular, slightly uncomfortable southwest flight and a regular Marriott hotel stay in Miami the night before. Miami itself looked pretty cool as we drove through to get to our boarding gate. The weather was also amazing for mid-february – hot and clear skies. I’ll have to stop in Miami again and stay a little longer.

downtown miami was a vibe

ok nemo lookin like a snak

flight was not the comfiest but the views were amazing interesting how the city of miami just perfectly sits on top of the water like this

At the destinations, there were even more excursions to take part in. We didn’t end up doing an excursion in Cozumel or The Bahamas because we just wanted to walk around and take in the scenes – more on that later.

Now, lets talk about the two destinations – Cozumel and The Bahamas. I thought these locations were good stops because they both gave beach vibes but also offered different activities. I’ll start with Cozumel since we got there first on day 2. Omg, falling asleep with our balcony door wide open, listening to the ocean waves, then waking up early to watch the sunrise (which I almost never do because I like my sleep), then going back to sleep and waking up later to the dark blue water and colorful landscape of Cozumel was magical, maybe even the best moments of this trip for me. The weather was hot and slightly humid, just the way I like it. We had breakfast, got our beach clothes and walked down the long ass runway to the coastline. Coming and going off the ship was interesting – lots of security checkpoints, kind of like at the airport, which I wasn’t expecting. I felt safe with the enhanced security measures but also worried cause like, what if all of a sudden I had a gun and couldn’t get back on the boat?!? Luckily we got off and on without issue lol.

Cozumel was super cool. As I said before, the coastline was super colorful with lots of photo-ops, cool looking signs and people selling souvenirs. I was a bit upset that there was no easy beach access at this port – I guess you had to pay for the excursion or rent a car to get to the beaches. We almost rented a car but decided not to because it was pretty expensive and we were worried about getting back to the ship in time. We did end up doing a lot of walking which I liked. The area felt overall safe and generally laid-back. It was nice to just take in the sights and take our time exploring. We did end up buying some extra special treats from some guys in a sketchy looking alleyway closet thing. We haven’t consumed those treats yet ‘cause we’re a bit nervous that they might be mixed in with other treats that we’re not trying to consume, lol. But anyway yeah, Cozumel was a nice time to get off the boat, walk around and do some shopping/sight-seeing. Next time, I would prolly purchase an excursion so I could see more of the area.

In contrast, The Bahamas was the beach vibe that I was looking for. We got there on the 4th day. we just walked and walked and had no idea where we were going lol. We walked to some random other beach club and were just so confused. Thankfully, a local offered to drive us to the beach club on his golf cart (for $20 -_-) but the ride was cool – we saw a bit more of the island than we would have on the bus so we felt like VIPs for a little bit lol. Eventually, we got to the beach club which was poppin. The DJ was playing some cool afro-beats, the water was the CLEAREST BLUEST BLUE ive ever seen!! Like seriously, when you see those pictures in the magazine of these island with the light blue clear water, it looks exactly like that in person. Absolutely gorgeous. And of course it was perfectly warm. The whole beach club area was cool – a few bars (that you an buy drinks at with your bracelet of course), a private pool, food and a whole bunch of lawn chairs, beach chairs and couches. Peep the pics because these words don’t do it justice. We were only there for a few hours because we were moving slow that morning, but I feel like a few hours was all that I needed to soak up those vibes. Like Cozumel, next time id prolly book an excursion so I could see more of the area. a sunset in the middle of the ocean >>

super big seashell i found in the bahamas
