Early in the morning on day 4 of our 10 night cruise we arrived at Bonaire. This Island is under Dutch rule and the citizens hold Dutch passports. The people here are a mix of Caucasians, Africans, Asians etc. The languages spoken are Dutch, English and a local dialect.

The 1st thing we did was snorkelling, then afterwards we went back to the ship for a freshen up and have lunch, then we went for a walk in the city which is very close to the port. It was good that the ship stayed here until evening so we had a chance to expore more of island.

In the evening we went back to the ship ready for cruising and exciting for the next adventure tomorrow inĀ  Aruba:)

Day 2 @Sea MSC Poesia Cruise Ship. Dec 02. 2012

@MSC Poesia Cruise Ship

 

Amani and Malaika had a great day today at sea. The Kid’s Club performed a dancing show for all the people on the ship and when they finished you could see how happy they were. Amani enjoyed very much dancing Gangnam style – it was so funny!

In the evening, first we went to the theatre which had different shows every day. Unfortunately you were not allowed to take photos or video inside the theatre, but it was a great performance. After the show we went straight to the formal dinner where the menu today was Italian. The food was delicious, yummy! :)

Day 1 @The Sea MSC Poesia Cruise Ship. Dec 02, 2012

It was a bit breezy our first day at sea!

 

I started my day by waking early to be one of the first people at the gym. Yes, the cruise ship has wonderful gym with an amazing view right in the front of the ship. After that I would go straight for my early breakfast in the restaurant on deck 13 while enjoying the sunrise each day.

Today the ship will be at sea all day, so we spent our day enjoying ourselves relaxing by the pool while the kids had much fun at kid’s club. The cruise had wonderful program for kids with different activities each day, so Amani & Malaika enjoyed “their” Junior Club very much :))

Our 10 Night Cruise Starts Here, Fort Lauderdale USA, Dec 1st 2012

 

Onboard MSC Poesia Cruise

 

Three continents. Our journey began in Asia – the Middle East, crossed Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, then finally, North America. Finally, after two long flights we arrived in Miami, Florida. We stayed there for just one night to rest, then continued on to Fort Lauderdale so that we could be close to Port Everglades from where our cruise would depart. We stayed here for one night and the following day we boarded the MSC Poesia for our 10 night cruise to Bonaire Island (under Dutch rule), Aruba, Colombia, Panama and Jamaica.

This was my second cruise. My first was a Princess Cruise on our honeymoon back in 2004, so I was really excited. For my daughter Malaika it was her 3rd and for my son Amani is his 2nd. My husband and I believe it’s really important and worthwhile to give the kids a chance to expore the world as much as possible and learn about different people, places and cultures. To be honest we are starting to see the benefit of it for them. They’re more exposed for their age and understand the world more than most kids in their age for that we’re very pleased.

The 1st impression of cruise was wow!
