Greek Island Cruise

Our big family trip this fall was on a cruise. We left from Venice on RoyalCaribbeanSplendor of the Seas. We arrived mid-morning in Venice, intending to spend the day exploring, but by the time we got to the boat to drop our luggage, lunch at the Windjammer Cafe was calling and we ended up exploring the boat and hanging out until departure time. We went with our friends, the Carpenters. Their kids and ours get along very well, and it was great to have playmates for just about everyone. (Ethan got gypped and had to hang with the grown ups!)

The kids enjoyed just about everything on the boat.

Kent and I had a balcony room and the kids were in a room just across the hall. The teen program wasn't that great, except for he last day, when they had some fun activities at sea. But, the children's program was a hit with everyone else and we all loved the food.

Colin had more chicken tenders than you can count, but the others were quite adventurous, trying lots of the yummy delicacies and special foods they serve.

Ethan tackled the Rock Wall, making it to the top despite the stiff wind and "gentle" rocking of the boat!
