Every year I set some time aside to travel on a theme cruise traveling the Carribean and enjoying my passion for music. I’ve had an enjoyable 8-day cruise on the Capital Jazz SuperCruise http://www.capitaljazz.com. leaving from Fort Lauderdale, Florida traveling to Labadee Haiti, Roatan, Honduras, Belize City, Belize, Cozumel Mexico.

We set sail on the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas.

This is a gorgeous ship, I feel that I’m in a huge mall and hotel all in one. The customer service from Royal Caribbean has been impeccable. I will definitely cruise this brand of ships in the future.

We started in Fort Lauderdale Florida

Our first stop was Labadee Haiti the port of Royal Caribbean private island, where they supplied a buffet style lunch on the island while we explore the area we were in. We didn’t do an excursion because we just wanted to explore around and just enjoy the view instead of being on a time restraint from touring. Labadee is located in northern Haiti that is famous for it’s striking beaches,natural beauty and great views.

We visited the port of Roatan Honduras

This island wasn’t one of my favorites, we did do a tour but the tour guide in my opinion didn’t really give a good tour for the money, however, the beaches were nice. The bus we were traveling on was driven so fast by the driver, it made it difficult to take pictures, and the areas that she did take us to were mostly areas of the island where they were of a disadvantage.

But I did get some shots to share.

Next was Belize City, Belize

It was cold and rainy that day and the excursions were sold out so I only walk around the port for a short time because of the weather.

Our last stop was Cozumel, Mexico

It turn out to be a great day in Cozumel, The views were lovely and we had a chance to explore some of the island, while we did the Amazing Race of Cozumel . That was exciting and a lot of fun.

The object of the game is base off the television show “The Amazing Race” . The organizers gave us clues that we had to go around the town walking looking for all the clues, and gathering every clue to the finish line in a certain amount of time. The team that finished first was the winner. It was nine teams and we came in fourth place.. But it was fun and we definitely got our steps in this day.

These were some of the clues we had to find

The Island of Cozumel

We came in fourth place but it was fun and I enjoyed exploring some of the island. I plan to come back to visit, but I will fly directly to the island to have more time to visit.

At sea

Our time on the ship was filled with concerts every night , you had a choice of many activities around the ship featuring some of the artist that was performing. I love this particular theme cruise because it allows you to get up close and personal with your favorite artist and they interact also around the ship with everyone. It’s the best vacation ever especially theme cruises, it gives you so much value in one vacation, all inclusive everything that you need and more.

Finally,

I spent 8 days doing what I love most ,my love for music and spending time with friends and family. Each year I look forward to cruising and listening to some great jazz artist.

Until next time
