Are we Dreamin'.......

The second day on the Carnival Dream was Easter, we spend the day at sea and enjoyed the 2 pools, 4 water slides and exploring the ship.
It was our first formal night too and I think we looked pretty good!
Our first port was Cozumel, Mexico. It was a beautiful day and everyone was excited about our excursion.

Our excursion was on a speed boat called the Twister.  The boat took you out to a private island but before you got to the island they took you on a wild ride. They played party music and did 360 spins in the boat.  It was crazy fun!! Our boat drivers were awesome.  The boat would spin in a wide fast  circle and was almost on its side and the spray of water was so intense.  You couldn't help but feel like you were on a wet roller coaster.  We were completely drenched from the trip over to the island.  Luckily, they warned you before and recommended that you wear only a bathing suit and put everything else in a water proof compartment on the boat.
Once on the island, it was all you could eat and drink.  They had water trampolines and slides, volleyball, kayaks.  It was an amazing experience.




We had another wild ride back to the port and even had time for Nick to have his first mango daiquiri.  Drinking age is 18 in Mexico and he was 17 years and 10 months....close enough!
Our next port was Belize.  We didn't have anything booked for this port but decided to take the tender boat to the port to walk around.  This was our least favorite port and dirty.  We saw a dead rat floating in the water when we got to Belize.  Boys thought it was cool, gross!!

Our next port was going to be Maghoney Bay, which is an island off of Honduras.  But unfortunately the wind was so strong the ship couldn't dock.  We watched another cruise ship out our window trying to dock and just couldn't make it.  So we headed to our next port....
