Cruising with Cheese
What fun to go on a cruise with family over New Years on the grand Ruby Princess to the Caribbean islands of Princess Keys, St. Thomas, Dominica, Bonaire, Grenada and Aruba. This ship holds over 3000 passengers and was built in Italy just two years ago. She certainly is a beauty.
Its great to have family on board and especially if you haven't seen everybody over a year. 
Here Katherine is dancing to music from one of the many bands playing on ship. Lots of parties, champagne and fun to ring in 2010. 
Katherine with her New Year's hat sitting at dinner before the parties began. Kids sure make you laugh and entertain you when cruising!!
Elizabeth with her father sitting down for a lobster dinner. Did I say she ordered a burger and fries?
New to the ship is a international cafe and coffee bar. Across the deck was the wine and cheese bar. I was impressed!
Elizabeth at the dinner table after a day at the beach. I don't think we would get away with this at our age although I did see some 70' ish folks on deck snoozing before we even went to breakfast at 9 a.m.
Another pose of Elizabeth at the table...
Every night the menu included a cheese plate with bread and nuts. Cheeses available were: Morbier, Emmental, Brie, Cheddar and Stilton. What no Spanish Manchego or American Barely Buzzed from Utah?
Katherine loves brie so although the chocolate ice cream probably tasted better than the brie, she was a trouper who made room for alittle cheese.
We love chocolate.... napkin and all
Sam was our waiter for 10 days and would love somehow to get him this picture as he really catered to the kids and family. He has a family of his own in Thailand and am sure 9 months on a boat is a long time to be away from them. Sam said he will probably take 6 months off this time around.
Final day before disembarking the boat. Elizabeth is wearing her cowboy hat and holding a baa (sheep) which I gave her when she was one year old. She still is attached to baa and goes nowhere without it. Vacation over and back to h-town. My tan is peeling but memories are great with pictures!!
