I've never been so I figure we might as well give it a go.

 

too bad its not like it used to be ... they used to shoot trap off the back of the boats. i dont think they do that on alot of them anymore

 

I gained 5 pounds on a 7 day cruise. I was eating like 6 meals a day.

8am - breakfast w/ family (bacon, eggs, other good stuff)
11am - brunch (burger, pizza, or sandwiches at one of the little shops)
1pm - lunch w/ family (something fancy in the ship's dining room)
4pm - afternoon snack (ice cream or pizza or something)
8pm - formal dinner (I normally got the steak/beef option)
10pm - booze at the club
1am - pizza or sandwich before I hit the sack

It was absolutely disgusting how much I ate that week. It's so hard not to indulge when you are surrounded by fantastic free food everywhere you turn.

 

shit. i have a year. maybe i'll go for 20lbs under my goal that way it doesn't matter if i gain a few. :rofl:

 

Holy shit.

 

If you go to CI and you don't go diving I mite have to slap you in the head. Also things in Georgetown are a steal for jewelry etc so if you are looking to buy the misses anything it's an excellent place to do so.

 

Don't you have to get certified go to scuba diving or whatever? I know nothing.

 

nope, you can do what's called a Resort Dive. It is limited to 50 feet in depth but that is the best depth anyhow because any deeper light starts to diffuse and you lose all the beautiful colors as they become darker. Expect to spend around 250-300 bucks though. I did it when I was 12 and it inspired me to go through the entire certification process. I have been diving for about 11 years now

 

on cruises and most touristy spots they will do a short basics class that takes less than an hour and its their 'certification' for you ...

 

funny thing is you can become fully certifited for about 5 - 650 ... so its best if you plan on diving to go to the local dive shop in town and see if they offer any introductory classes that will let you know if you would enjoy it and if so get certified before you go
