I finally went on my first cruise! I was invited by Royal Caribbean to go on a media preview sailing of their newest ship, the Symphony of the Seas. I’ve always heard that what makes a cruise is the ship, so I knew this was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. Although the cruise was a super short 36 hours, I did get to experience a little bit of what a cruise is like.
The Symphony of the Seas is an incredible ship. In fact, it’s the largest cruise ship ever! And if you know anything about being out on the water, the bigger the ship, the less you feel the rocking. Since I had never been on a cruise before, I was worried about how I’d feel. And I was right to be. I got seasick on the cruise. I wasn’t throwing up and laying in bed the whole time or anything, but it did get to me one night and I had to skip dinner with the girls.
Speaking of girls though, I have to say, it was the perfect girls trip. Our rooms were big enough to hang out in and get ready and we had so much fun exploring the ship together. We even made a new friend that was traveling solo!
The ship docked in Nassau early on the first morning of the cruise. We had 4-5 hours to walk around, go to the beach, and have some fun in the Bahamas. It was a very touristy area (of course), but we were able to walk to Junkanoo beach which was nice. If you remember my posts from earlier this year, you know I love the Bahamas. For our carefree beach day, I wore my super cute Triya wave one piece. Isn’t it adorable?!
Overall, it was a fun time, but I don’t think I’d go on a cruise that’s shorter than 5 days. The 3-day/2-night thing was just way too short!

Looks like fun. I am wondering if the water ever changed colors during your stay as it Destin or Santa Rosa Beach FL. I would like to travel during the winter as you have. Beautiful pictures and lovely seen.

I went on a Disney cruise in October and it was amaaaaaazing! People wondered why I would go on a Disney cruise without kids, but I can’t wait to go back! The food was incredible, the adults only areas were great, and Disney owns their own freaking island that you can only visit when you cruise with them.

Omg I’m sure Disney Cruises are INCREDIBLE! Definitely the best of the best!

December 4, 2018 @ 3:35 pm
It’s definitely an experience!! I would totally recommend doing a longer trip – there is so much to see and do on the ship that you miss if there isn’t enough time!

Also, I am LOVING your swimsuit!

My husband has been dying for us to go on a cruise. I totally agree if I’m going tot commit to getting on a luxurious boat for travel it needs to be at least a week long! Ha!
