Our cruise didn't turn out the way we planned. We were suppose to go to ports Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Pureto Vallarta. We went to Cabo but then all the news and everyone else started freaking out about swine flu so they canceled the other 2 ports. It makes me really mad because swine flu wasn't even in Cabo and the regular seasonal flu has killed way more people then this flu has this year. I know they were just trying to protect us passengers but I think they have overreacted a bit much about this. Anyways so instead of going to those other 2 ports they thought they would take us clear up north where it is cold to San Francisco. We had 4 days of cruising at sea and all those days were freezing cold so we hardly got to go outside. We also had 60-70mph winds for 2 of those days cruising. It felt like we were really going to fly off the boat if we stepped outside. We only had 1 nice day at Cabo. They have some good shows and activities on the boat but after about 4 days they got old. When we got to San Francisco it was overcast and raining the entire day. We got to walk around in the rain all day. Not my idea of fun. They did give us a 150 dollar credit that we had to spend on the boat of course and also free cocktails for one and a half hours. That didn't help us any since we don't drink. One of the workers laughed in my face when I asked if we who don't drink can get a non-alcoholic drink. Anyways enough about all that. It just makes me really mad because we saved up for 9 months for this cruise and it would be the last real vacation for a long time. It was not worth it to me to leave Lucas that long and for the money to get that cruise to turn into a disaster. It's nothing against Royal Caribbean. We just didn't like the way they handled it. We loved our cruise for our honeymoon and wanted to repeat another enjoyable experience. Here's some pictures. Sorry their is a lot of them.

Glad to be home!
We sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge which was pretty fun to watch. We only cleared it by 12 feet but it looked a lot closer then that.
We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on April 28th. All the waiters sang to us and brought us this cake.

So sorry to hear the details of the cruise. Big bummer. Glad that Lucas and everything turned out, but I'm sure you missed him terribly. Good job on being strong and hope that you and Colt has some worthwhile memories. Happy Anniversary!!!
And welcome home. :)
Oh man that's rough, but at least you got to get away and spend some time together, and eat good food, some day you will look back and laugh :)
Looks like so much fun even if it didn't turn out as planned. I can't believe how big Lucas is getting, don't you just love listening to them laugh!
