A winter day in New York City

After arriving back in New York City on a cold winter day we spent one day in the city to experience the city during Christmas time.
First Mia had to check oyr Christian;s boots

 After a fabulous sunset we headed uptown to the Rockefeller center

Unfortunately it was very crowded

But it was still a nice evening walk

Cruise Day 4: Nassau, The Bahamas

Day four was a stop in Nassau on the Bahamas.

 Christian had booked a food tour by foot and also had gotten a ticket for Ji as a birthday gift

Back on the ship we enjoyed one last day with warm weather before heading back to New York City

Of course we had a cocktail again before heading for dinner in the Manhattan Room

Of course Mia knew how to butter her bread

 She also enjoyed the band an always wanted to dance with mama, papa or Christian

Cruise Day 3: Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas

The next stop on our cruise was a small island owned by the cruise line that offered a one day beach vacation. We had to take a tender boat which was kind of fun

The  program offered everything from snorkeling to jet ski but we just headed to the beach while Christian explored the island

Then Mia had to try a big inflatable water slide

and we had some nice lunch and a beer before heading back to the ship for an afternoon nap

Before dinner Mia tried some climbing, jumping a a trampoline with bungee cords and some shuffle board

The night concluded with another fancy dinner at the Manhattan Room 

Cruise Day 2: Port Canveral, Florida

The second day of the cruise was even warmer and we watched how the ship pulled into port Canaveral from where the space center was visible in the north:

Since we had been there before we stayed on the ship and Mia checked out the water slides and the pool after she had gone to the kids club

The evening Christian played some basketball and we enjoyed the some mini golf and the sunset

 Then Ma had to try some basket ball as well

Afterwards it was coktail time on the top aft deck

Cruise Day 1: At Sea

We had started our cruise from New York City on a late Sunday afternoon when it was snowing and woke up on the morning of our first full day on the ship on a sunny dayand much warmer day. It was also Mia's 5'th birthday.
From the balcony of our cabin we had a great view

After a nice breakfast it was time to check out the ship. Ma tried some mini golf

Then it was time for a short salsa dance lesson with mama

and some games in the card room. Dominoes was kind of fun

After her nap Mia wanted to do wanted to do some rock climbing. She made it all ythe way to the bell on the top and the supervisor was pretyy impressed

We enjoyed the a evening sun set on the top deck

Then it was time for dinner and Mia's birthday cake: It was Mia's 5'th birthday

 Then it was time for a little bit of ping pong

 We ended the evening with a really nice blues concert in the "Fat Cats Club" on board
