If there's one thing I love more than photography, its family vacations. Whether its just a weekend away from the big city, or a week cruising the calm seas, the thought of no worries and unlimited family fun removes us from the troubles of the world.
This past August I was aboard the Norwegian Jewel, a 7 day cruise from New York to Nassau Bahamas. Needless to say it was mind-blowing, from the awe-inspiring crew members to the alluring destinations, and shore excursions, the trip nothing less than breathtaking.
The first stop we made was Florida where we went on the first shore excursion, Alligator Airboat. Scary by the thought of it, but a once in a lifetime experience. The Airboat took us through the Florida Everglades where these voracious creature reside. After the ride they took
to a shack where we tasted alligator! Don't knock it before you try it, pretty good stuff.
The next stop we made was Great Stirrup Cay, a private island in the Bahamas owned by the cruise line. Here they got the chance to enjoy relaxing music, great food, and the clearest water I've ever seen. I rented a float, sat back, and relaxed on the water as the current drifted me away from shore until the lifeguards alerted me that i was drifting too far.
Last but not least our last stop on the trip was Nassau, Bahamas. The beauty of this place is arresting, and the people here would make you want to drop everything, and move in! In the Bahamas we went on our second shore excursion, Parasailing. 400 feet in the air, you can see the whole island, even the dolphins jumping out of the water. This trip was truly a life experience I'll never forget.
