About Our Recent Cruise






It's now been nearly a week since Melissa and I returned from our weeklong cruise through the Bahamas with stops at Puerto Rico and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.  We were on the Royal Caribbean ship Allure of the Seas, which left Ft. Lauderdale's Port Everglades on February 9th and returned on the 16th.  The cruise was specially designed for married couples, with the organization FamilyLife running the show, providing numerous sessions and concerts themed around marriage enrichment from a Christian perspective.  Friends from our church, who have gone on this cruise in the past, shared the opportunity for us to be on this particular one...neither Melissa nor I had ever gone on a cruise before. The ship was humungous, with more than 5,000 passengers riding it...not to mention the many people comprising the support staff for Royal Carribean and FamilyLife as well as the invited speakers and performers.  The experience for us was uniquely special...and positive, with many things to remember about it. I'm looking forward to sharing various aspects of our cruise in the weeks to come on this blog, as I usually do following any substantial traveling...
