So began our honeymoon with a seven hour drive to Port Canaveral where our ship was set to leave. We left Columbus late in the afternoon so it made for a late night, not to mention when we got there it was the night before the space shuttle lift off so there where absolutely no hotel rooms to be found. We ended up staying in a cheap cheap motel for a not so cheap price...Bryan was not pleased :) And I am sorry to say we did not take a picture of "Budget Inn." We are pretty bad at remembering to take pictures but we did a much better job on the rest of the honeymoon.
So after our stay in the cheap motel we headed to the ship the next morning. We got there kind of early and thought we would be able to get on the ship, but they were finishing some repairs on the ship and we waited for several hours inside the building before we boarded. At least they had cookies for us :) Sunday and Monday were also the days my stomach took a turn for the worse and would continue throughout the honeymoon. More details to come.
We finally made it on board!! YAY! Here is our super small but lovely stateroom. We had a wonderful stateroom attendant named Ivan! He was awesome, but I am sorry to say we did not get a picture with him. I was kind of disappointed. So we went straight to our late lunch buffet!! Oh man you can get food whenever you want on the ship. The pizza shop is open until 5am! My stomach cramps did not subside though. I did try to enjoy the food though, because I love food! 
We went to dinner at the fancy restaurant the first night and was lovely! Bryan got the lamb and I had garlic shrimp. It was delicious! I totally out-ordered Bryan that night. Such good food! They even gave us an extra piece of mint pie for being on our honeymoon!
After dinner we went to the show which was very fun! We saw a comedian and he was pretty funny and not too crude :)
The next day was Coco Cay!! We loved it here. This is Royal Caribbean's own private island so we were there with just the people from the ship and some locals to run the shops. I loved just laying on the beach and soaking up the sun! Bryan went snorkeling which he loved!! The water was so clear and he saw so many types of fish. I tried to go snorkeling but my water kept getting in my mask, so I just laid on the beach.
It was a beautiful place though. We took a nap in the hammocks there too! In the afternoon I was not feeling well, so we headed back to the ship.
So that afternoon I was feeling pretty terrible so we tried to find some Pepto Bismol in the general store but they did not have any. We decided to go to the medical station on the ship. HUGE MISTAKE!!! The doctor ended up seeing me and confined me to my stateroom for 24 hours!!! Can you believe it?! I was sooo upset! I was livid at first and then I just started to cry. We would miss the captain's dinner, and a lot of our day in Nassau!! The doctor gave me some immodium and deactivated my stateroom card for 24 hours!!! So Tuesday night we were in our room missing our fancy dinner, but at least we were together. Bryan went out a few times because being in that little room so long can drive you crazy :)
We were allowed to leave the ship at 1pm on Wednesday, so we headed out to Nassau. We went looking at the town shops and walked around town a little. We should have taken a tour of the island to see Atlantis and such but I was still not feeling the best and we had not planned much to do on the island beforehand. We were kind of boring that day, but at least we were together. We still had fun!
Here are the police in Nassau. I liked their uniforms so I asked for a picture with them.
After dinner that night we came back to find a towel animal!!!! I was sooo excited! I had told Bryan that is one thing I was looking forward to having!!! It was AWESOME! After dinner we went to another comedic show which was good! The guy was really funny! We also went to see a newlywed game show played with couples from the ship. They had a honeymoon couple, a couple married for a few years, and a couple married for many years. We thought the older couple was so cute together!
On Thursday we had a whole day at Sea. We soaked up the sun and swam in the pool! They had a belly flop contest too which was fun to watch! That was our last night at dinner with the wonderful people we met. We met a couple from Panama City and two ladies from Georgia. They were all so sweet and fun! Gregory was our waiter and he is from Jamaica! He was a lot of fun too! We went to the final show that night as well and it was dancing and singing. It was good! My stomach was still feeling pretty bad that night as you can see below :) I probably should not have eaten all the rich food we had but it was just so good!
