Boat Life

 This boat was filled with lame people. No one was at Karaoke. They were doing the Carnival Legends again so me, Karen, and Dave signed up to do it. No one else tried out for our people. So I did Britney, Karen did Gloria Estefan, and Dave did Elton John. By the performance, they didn't have a Madonna so we begged Jess to do it. She was so so nervous! So the Luker clan was 4 out of the 9 performers! It was a lot of fun!
 We got a sting ray in our room and my niece ad I had fun with it...
 Our tribute to Steve Erwin.

We were all heading up to go hot tubbing and went up in the glass elevators. There were tons of old people just sitting in the lobby so I told Sue to take off her robe and flash everyone with me. So we did and we danced around and shook it and all the old people looked up. The guys were giving us thumbs up  while the old ladies were shaking their heads at us. We loved the response so we kept going up and down in the elevator. It was hilarious!
----
We loved to dance to the band by the casino. Sue was out of control. The lead singer guy let her up on stage with her and she continued to dance crazy!

We danced in the club. Our fav part was dancing in the window while people walked by. We actually got a lot of people to dance with us!

Grand Turk and a Fill Up

 I forgot this while I was talking about Puerto Rico so here it is. In Puerto Rico, they are so much better then us that Presidents go there and visit them. Which ever President comes to visit, the Puerto Ricans make a statue of them outside of the capitol. For example, Obama stopped by a few months ago for 2 1/2 hours. So they are making an Obama statue. There were a total of 5 statues. Not many Presidents visit! One of them was Eisenhower and I guess he was a little happy to see me!
 Grand Turk, our last stop. It was beautiful and hot. It did rain for bit though. We took a boat over to Gibbs Gay and held stingrays. Not as cool as Cayman though. This was my sister and niece's first time with stingrays.




 The most action Ty saw the whole cruise!

 Whoa, don't eat him, Karen!


 Jess was grossed out!



 There were tons of conch shells. They later showed us how they take the animals out.
 We are all so sexy in our gear.




 Snorkeling was awesome! I actually swam by my self for some of it. It wasn't the most prettiest place but we saw some fish and even a sea turtle! It was a lot of fun!

 Jess is peeing! ha ha!
 There was a beach right off the ship. So gorgeous. Looking around I knew there were going to be great photo ops!!!


 Ty did the Flowrider and he was hot at it!!!



 He was the best one there!
 Graceful like a ballerina!
 Show Off!

Cruise 2012 #2

 Arriving at St. Thomas.
 Gorgeous lookout.
 Magen's Bay. We didn't take many pictures! Check out my facebook page if you want to see more. My niece took a lot. St. Thomas was really pretty. I loved it. We shopped at the shops after the beach.
 Now we are in Puerto Rico. This was the first day of the cruise where it was sunny and hot and no rain! We went to this fort that was all old. Ty had to help my mom up the steep hill.
 View from the top.
 Ty with tons of balls.
 San Juan.



 During our tour, the Puerto Rican tour guide was telling us all how Puerto Rico was better then the US. Like she would say, "In Puerto Rico we have all the same rights as you do except we pay NO FEDERAL TAXES!" and "In Puerto Rico we make all the medicines that are shipped to the US soldiers oversea because Puerto Rico is the only place that is trusted with that." So basically, Puerto Rico is better in everything then the US. They are very boastful people. Like we were walking down a street, shopping, and this truck drives by and the driver yells out "Puerto Rico!". Ty turns to me and says, "They are all arrogant a-holes." True.
 We had some yummy coconut ice cream from a street vendor.
 Cute street with stores along it. All the stores had the exact same things over and over again.
