Our SmackTalk cruise was a success!

SmackTalk RC — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:19:20 +0000

We had an incredible time aboard the “Liberty of the Seas” from Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (2nd largest ship in the world). It ended up being a relatively small group, which actually worked out very well because we all got to hang out most of the time.

Alex, Wicky, Mike and Meg went on a nice shore excursion in Belize to see the ruins of Altun Ha while James Cistola went on a 2 tank deep water dive and James VanHook, Amanda, Ray, Suzi and I went for a tour of Belize city and the country side.

The highlight of the whole trip was during our stop in Cozumel, Mexico when we all went to Carlos’ n Charlie’s for lunch and some drinks, we certainly had a lot of fun there.

All in all, everybody had a great time, we enjoyed some delicious food, had plenty to drink, relax and most importantly, took time away from it all!
