Welcome to Steve and Paul's Cruise Pictures!
These are from our 10 day cruise 1/3/07 - 1/14/07. We flew from Bradley to Fort Lauderdale non-stop. We spent the day of the third sitting by the hotel pool with Cosmo’s courtesy of Paul. Dinner that night was at the "Rustic Inn" with Gary Cole. The next morning we left for Port Everglades. We sailed on the "beautiful and elegant MAADAM." Ports of call were: Half Moon Cay, St Thomas, Dominica, Curacao, and Aruba. The five of us, Mom, Louise, Steve A, Steve B, and Paul, along with 25 other friends set sail for a wonderful vacation.
Buckets away!!

The beginning of the end. We arrived early to the hotel and we not able to check into our rooms. Paul, being the perfect host, got a ride to the liquor store and picked up supplies for teh best cosmo's ever. The day was enjoyed out by the pool. As each person arrived, they were greeted by a fun group and a cold cosmo. (Little did we know we should have packed the extra limes. It seems they are in short supply on board ship!)
