Other Funny Stuff:
Greta fell asleep with a piece of chocolate. Either in her hand or mouth. When she woke up it was all in her hair. ew. Greta lost Hannahs jacket and then found it at a dance club in Nassau. It was lost for at least a couple of hours. Greta lost her Debit Card in Nassau. Caught it in time but...yeah... Hannah spilled vodka and crystal light on Greta's sweater. That's the only thing I can think of that she did. Guess I'm still the wild one. The first and last night the ship was really rocky. We loved it but apparently a lot of people got sick. Hint: The more you drink, the less rocky it is. I still feel like I am swaying when I stand still. Almost four days later.

About The Glasses:
Hannah bought us those fabulous sunglasses. We wore them every day and every night. So much so that people started to recognize us by our glasses and the one night we didn't wear them, everyone asked where they were. Apparently our reputation preceeded us. A woman at our table said she heard we were party girls. We thought she must be mistaken.

The Week in Review:
I think I can safely speak for Hannah when I say we both had a super fantastic time. We look forward to next time when we can bring our boys with us. I definitely recommend cruising to anyone who has thought about it but never taken one. So worth it.
