Honeymoon

We departed Sunday afternoon from Miami on Freedom of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world (at present).
















Muster!















Our room




Beautiful view...



Our first stop was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where we went on a treetop canopy tour. So much fun!!!



















Getting suited up.



















Ready to go!














WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!






















Our second stop was in St. Thomas, where we went on a BOSS excursion. There are only 8 BOSS locations in the world, with only 200 BOSSes ever produced. The guys we went on a tour with were the proud owners of 15. The BOSS is a scuba-type device with a helmet attached to an open scooter. The rider is breathing oxygen in the helmet, while their body is out in the water.















BOSS!













Since they took us out in BOSS groups, we had time to go snorkling in Turtle Cove. Steven was my protector.














Our third and final stop was at St. Maarten, where we rode the exciting Rhino Riders for 25 minutes (one way) halfway around the island to a private cove, where we had another opportunity to snorkel. The Rhino Riders are inflatable little speed boats that go very fast and don't cut the water at all, which makes for a very bumpy, very exciting ride.














There were lots of huge starfish around to observe while snorkeling.













Our tourguides from Sweden and France. What a life...















Yay!!!!
















One of the highlights of the cruise would have to be the "Love & Marriage" game show that Steven and tried out for and become a part of. It's a "Newlywed Show"-type event, but this had one newlywed couple, one couple with 57 years of marriage behind them, and another in the middle.














Introducing the "true" newlyweds...four days here!














Trying to match Steven's answer after being in seclusion.














His turn...














In it to win it! We won...even though it was kind of rigged for the older couple to win. We're just that good. :-)
