Bahama Celebration weekend.

I spent Saturday till Monday on a cruise to Freeport in the Bahamas. Although the weather was mostly rainy with minimal sun it was still a very enjoyable mini vacation although I only wish it could have lasted longer.

Saturday we took the 1 1/2 hour drive to Port of West Palm Beach. We took this trip on Bahamas Celebration Cruise Lines. We discovered the cruise line when my best friend snagged a deal for the trip on Groupon. The ship was smaller than Royal Caribbean ( only other cruise I have even been on and have to compare to) but seeing as they mostly just specialize on short weekend cruise where other ships such as RC are meant for 4-6 day trips, it was still a good size and pretty comfortable.

We  got there around 12pm for the lunch but the ship did not leave port until about 6pm. So Saturday night we got all dressed up and had dinner at the Crystal room followed by going to see a show (all the performers were amazing) then went to the casino for drinks. 


The Crystal room is one of the nicer of the 3 restaurants included in your cruise package. The attire calls for a dress code of collared shirts, slacks and dresses, etc. (although they did not enforce it all. It was just recommended) I was not a 100% crazy over the food there. It wasn't bad but wasn't super great and the whole place seemed over whelmed. Although I really liked their soups and the appetizers and Tiramisu were pretty good. The drinks were pretty good although I didn't really have much the whole trip because they can get pretty pricey.

Awkward what do I do with my hands pose.

The trip to the island was pretty calm or I was just really really tired and we arrived at Freeport at 7am. To rainy cloudy weather.

I'm still trying to get all the pictures from my friends and the names of the performers so hopefully I will have that by tomorrow so I will end this post with a picture of me making my seductive face.

Attractive yes?

New beer

I enjoy drinking good beers and wines... almost any wine really.. except boxed I'm classier than that hahah. I drink beer to enjoy the taste I'm not a fan of going out and get super drunk I just hate the feeling the next day. Although I have had my fare share of getting drunk... it's never pretty. I also hate vodka, seriously. It messes up my stomach and I just don't enjoy it so i don't many mixed drinks. Give me beer or wine or even whiskey and day!

At the sports bar I work at we have a very good craft beer selection and all out bartenders are beer people. They all know I share an interest in beer so they usually have one for me to try after my shift, either from our own selection we sell or one they brought from their own stash. This is why I like my job muahahah! This is today's beer.

I took this with my phone and the lighting at the bar is pretty dim so it's an awful photo but still.

Fat Tire amber ale by New Belgium Brewing Company. It's a pretty good medium bodied beer. It's got a nutty caramel aroma. Not my top 5 beers but still very good. Wish I has a better picture of it.

Work was very slow today so I spent my shift at work talking about beer and the cultures of Miami with some regulars sitting at the bar, once they left I started reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. I started reading it last Christmas when I flew to see my family in Philly but my Mom bought me a Kindle so I put it down and between reading so many books, both in actual book form and on my Kindle, I hadn't been able to pick it back up. it's pretty interesting but the writing style is getting to me a bit but I am hoping to make time to finish it.
