I feel refreshed, well rested, and just a little bit more tan! J and I returned home from our honeymoon and we had a blast! Okay, not the whole time (we got super sick for a few days!). We really enjoyed catching up on some sleep, seeing beautiful destinations, and had a great time on the cruise ship!
We decided to go on a 10 day cruise to the caribbean. We used Princess Cruises and I highly recommend! We ported out of Ft. Lauderdale and they were sweet enough to shuttle us from the Miami airport to the port, leaving us with less to stress about. But, we pulled an all nighter and flew to Miami at 11 pm, arrived about 5 am there and had to wait for the shuttle which didn’t leave till noon. We ended up getting very acquainted with the Miami airport, and if you have ever been there it’s literally the worst airport we have ever been to! (but that’s a whole other story!)
The cruise ship was fun, and we participated in several games and ‘Princess Live!’ shows and James ended up winning one of them which was so fun! haha Since it was live, it ended up being a show on our tv and we watched it that night and it was so cool to see him on there! We also won bingo twice in a row which was super fun and we decided to end on a good note and not play again.
As for the actual islands, we opted out of doing excursions. I haven’t really been feeling up to strenuous activity and we more so wanted to just relax and do our own thing on our vacation! We did get off on every island though, and had a fun time seeing the different buildings and exploring. In this post I’ll be showcasing my two favorite spots we went to.
Princess Cays
Princess Cays is an island owned by Princess Cruises. You would think this would be the most boring since it’s the most uncultured, but it had the nicest beach and we enjoyed relaxing in the chairs and eating burgers! It was a common theme for the rest of the islands we visited that the beaches were not nearby and you had to take a taxi to them which was kind of a bummer! But Princess Cays was all beach and we had a great time there.
Curacao
Curacao was one of the last spots to dock at, and it was by far our favorite! It has such a rich history and it was a beautiful island! It was also one of the few that didn’t have people berating you to buy things as soon as you got off the ship. Curacao has the largest pontoon bridge and when a ship needs to go by, it will swing itself to the other side of the water. It was the coolest thing to watch, but be prepared to wait for a long time to get back to the other side! haha They have a ferry to transport people while its moved, but we decided to wait it out and the ferry really didn’t save a ton of time.
Here is the Queen Emma bridge swinging back, it is seriously so cool! We went down the shopping center shown above and it was a dream. Cobblestone roads, nice people, and I found a MAC store and treated myself haha!
When we were on our way back to the ship, I realized out loud to J that we had yet to see any animals! I was bummed and right after I finished that sentence we saw this huge guy scurrying by! It was so hilarious and I’m so glad we got to see one cool animal before leaving.
I hope y’all enjoyed our vacation pics and lived vicariously through them! We had so much fun celebrating our two year anniversary and having a honeymoon! I cannot wait to go on more vacations like this and share it with you all!

This looks like a blast! For our honeymoon, we did a Princess Cruise too! We only did a 5 day, but we loved Princess Cay island as well. It is funny that you had such a miserable experience at the Miami airport, because we got stuck at the Ft. Lauderdale airport and it was awful. Seriously the worst airport we have been too. It must be a Florida thing. Glad you enjoyed!
That’s so awesome you went on a cruise as well! Maybe a 5 day would have been better haha! It must just be something about Florida airports. The people are so rude and poor James couldn’t walk under certain areas because he was so tall. 😂 Definitely a funny story looking back at it now, not so funny then!
