Key West, Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios - OH MY!

On our honeymoon, we could not have asked for anything more. We visited three beautiful locations and had the time of our lives! We sailed for 6 days on the Carnival Freedom Ship to Key West, FL, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The photo below is of another ship at the Ocho Rios port. It was taken from the top of our ship.
Our room was really nice with a king size bed, closets (with robes), a vanity, couch, and a flat screen TV! The bathroom was small and the toilet's flushing power was so strong that I probably could have flushed my new hubby down the toilet. :)




Each night, when we returned to our room after our 8 o'clock 3-course dinner and 10 o'clock show :), we would have different towel animal on our bed. One night, there was a MONKEY hanging by the window! That was my favorite one!



Our first stop was Key West, FL. This was the view from our cabin window that morning. We did most of our shopping on this day b/c there was not a beach area closeby. We walked the historic area of town and had a great time!



Our next stop was Grand Cayman. The water was so rough that we could not go to the normal port where all the ships dock. We had to take a small boat (about 100 people at a time -- there were 3,000 on the boat!) to the dock. There were lots of boats, so we did not have to wait at all. At Grand Cayman, the water was the most beautiful that I had ever seen.

We also visited Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and Senor Frogs!





We visited Boatswain's Turtle Farm, too!



In Jamaica, we got to view the famous Dunn's River Falls. It was breathtaking!
Here is a view from the top of our ship of Ocho Rios.

We had an awesome time and we are already planning our next cruise!
