Caribbean Cruise

Dennis and Wynnette in front of the Allure of the Seas. We had the opportunity to go for one week to the Caribbean with four of our children and their spouses. What a wonderful week.




Dennis, Shannon, Wynnette, Stacy arriving on the ship - pretty exciting.




Food on a cruise is very important so we met Gordon, our waiter and Olga our assistant waiter. They had great food.




Don and Shannon at the Solarium ready to go get lunch. This was one place we could go for meals.

Wynnette at the Aqua Theater and also note the rock climbing wall.




Wynnette at the Aqua Theater where we viewed diving and swim shows - fantastic.




Kevin wearing such a memorable shirt! We loved it.




Kevin, Shannon and Allan with others were learning a dance. The goal was to learn the dance and then at a specific time dance on the promenade as a surprise to all.




Stacy, Allan, Jana and Don preparing for the dance moment. The performance was great. They were all star performers for the people strolling on the Promenade.




We had a fun parade featuring Dreamwork characters such as Shrek.






Dreamwork characters from the show How to Train a Dragon as part of the parade. We also saw this 3D movie on the cruise just before the parade. It was terrific.




Astrid and Hiccups (ice skaters) from the show How to Train a Dragon. We all especially loved this ice show.
