You can't Facebook...

 
You cannot Facebook -- from a cruise ship.  Can you?  

It has been many years since my last cruise.  My honeymoon was, in fact, a Caribbean Cruise, at 300+ lbs.  We didn't have the interweb in my house (well, Facebook, we did have some nifty dial up AOL...) back then, in ye olden days of 1999.


(Hoping to "redo" this type of photo minus 170 and minus 200 lbs.)

On the ship in 1999, I spent much of the time eating.  And, well, honeymooning.  See also:  falling off a Jet-Ski.  I'm not a good swimmer.  Just saying.

I don't know WHAT I am going to do while disconnected from the internet for a week.  Combine that with my wanting to maintain a closer-to-normal body weight, I may have to sleep* for much of the week, and you know what...

I WELCOME THAT opportunity with open arms.  I cannot WAIT to float away and disconnect for a week, with some of my favorite people.

(*Says the mom of four who still has a kid in her bed.  *blink*)

Unlimited sleep, drink, food and sunshine.  Bring it.  

Join me -- and others -- on a boat in the Caribbean?

When it comes to beautiful beaches and sparkling blue waters, the Caribbean is really in a league of its own. And beneath their tropical paradise settings, these islands are home to rich culture and complex histories.

sad to say but yep they have computers on them big boats.. but you can just steer clear of them and have a wonderful time

We just went around Holloween!! It was a great trip, Labadee is Awsome that was the best day at the beach, we also went to Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Mexico. Were going again next Oct, I cant wait! I must say I didnt think I would survive without my FB but it was actually nice :]

On my last cruise, I was very heavy. I had a wonderful time though.
And no.... there is no mention of FB on a cruise. They will send you to time out.
"No FB for YOU!"

When are you going?  I am going on a cruise with my senior daughter and 3 other mother/daughter combos in April.  It is a first cruise for all of us. The sad thing is I have never even been on this nice of a trip with my husband!  We have 5 kids. You are doing the right thing and getting away alone!  I wish we could have done it, but now with college costs for two, three kids still at home.   I feel like I got backed into a corner with going on this trip, but am trying to get a better attitude.  Our cruise ended up free because we had points on our credit card.   That helps with the $$ pain. 

And I will not be on facebook or on a computer, period. I plan to enjoy my nook!

Have a great time on your cruise. I am sure you will be too relaxed to miss Facebook. We are going for our Honeymoon in April. I hope my cell doesn't work either. I just want to have a great time. Let's share cruise stories when we get back. Enjoy!!!!
