Majesty of the Seas
August 20-24, 2001
My latest trip was a Royal Caribbean cruise to Nassau, Coco Cay and Key West with my friend Giselle. We went during peak hurricane season, but luckily, Tropical Storm Chantal decided to go to the south, rather than head for Miami, so we were safe. We also made the wise decision not to do any snorkeling, as there were eight people bitten by sharks off the Florida coast in the five days before we left! Yikes!
Before the cruise, I went to a conference at the Lowes Miami Beach Hotel & Resort - what an amazing place! I had a nice corner room overlooking the ocean, but of course, I forgot to take pictures :( Then Gigi came down and we spent a weekend relaxing by the pool in Ft. Lauderdale before boarding the ship on Monday.
