Even though we didn't go to sleep until after 2 am Friday night, Jerry and I woke up early and went to eat breakfast. Today we were going to spend the day at Cocoa Cay Island. Unlike Nassau, we didn't dock at the shore; we rode on a ferry from our ship to the Island.

Cocoa Cay was a private Island that belonged to Royal Carribean so people from our ship were the only people there. The ladies were there to braid your hair and there were bartenders walking around selling special alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

We were able to hang out with several of our friends. Jerry went snorkeling with some friends. I floated around on a raft with our friend Shawn and just hung out. Chuck had an up close and personal experience with a Baracuda which from what I hear we pretty exciting. They had alot of different things to do but we mostly just hung out for the entire day.

We may have stayed too long, Mike, Shawn, Jerry and I took one of the last ferries back to the ship. We all had a little bit too much son and the weather was starting to pick up. The ferry had to wait in line before we could get off and back on the ship and it was really rocking in the waves. I didn't like that. Then, we had our last dinner. The food was awesome as usual but the ship was moving and the waves were a little rough. We had to close our curtains to keep from getting dizzy. After dinner, Jerry and I decided to go back to our cabin and lay down. He was not feeling very good and neither was I. We went through a pretty rough storm, there were a lot of us that stayed in the last night because we were not feeling well.

I really wanted to watch the last show it was a tribute to Broadway but we didn't make it. I was disappointed but I guess it happens. If I could go backI would never have gone to my cabin and laid down that seemed to make it worse. I would have stayed up on the top deck in the open. You can't feel the boat as strongly and the open air and the wind would keep me from feeling bad.

So, with the combination of too much sun, ocean and a storm we went to bed around 7:30 and slept our last night away.
