Cruise (Great Barrier Reef): Snorkeling

February 17, 2025

The cruise was so fun. On day one of the cruise we went to go check it out. It had so much stuff like mini golf, a pickle ball court, three pools, about five hot tubs, and etc. Our state room was quite nice. We were on the 8th deck and the state room had a window. On our first sea day we went to the pool the whole day and got pizza and ice cream cause it was free with our ticket. I got about two ice creams that day and about four pizza slices. On our first night we went to our first show. And the show was people singing 80s songs. I didn’t know half of them cause it was the 80s and I was boring 21 century. It was kind of weird sleeping because the boat was moving back and forth. The beds were ok and the blankets were ok too. We I woke up we were at arilie beach. There was not a lot of things to do there except to go in a salt water pool. We could only go in the salt water pool because it was box jelly fish season and you can’t swim in the ocean which is quite sad because the water color was so beautiful. We had to leave airlie beach at 3 because our boat was leaving at 4 o’clock. When we got back on the boat we went to our state room and we saw that the Canada vs Sweden game was on. We caught it in overtime and Mitch marner scored the winning goal. That night we went to another show with the same people singing but they were singing 70s songs which I had know clue what those songs were. They were good singers but I had no clue what the songs were. On the fourth day we had another sea day which was quite fun. We sat at the pool the whole day and did a pickle ball tournament. We lost the first round because I haven’t played in about 8 moths. On top of the pool was a really big screen that was either playing music or a movie. When I was in the pool it was playing the new wonka movie. I didn’t think it was that good but the reviews said different. The pool was kind of cold but it was really nice because outside was so hot. I had lots of food at lunch like pizza and ice cream as the first sea day. The show we went tonight was supposed like people trust each other. But it was more like a person that was doing a street performance using cheap stuff and coming up with it at that exact moment. The one thing that I thought was funny was the singers the night before did not have a sold out show and the bad show had a sold out show. I was so tired that night that I went to bed at 8:30 and I usually go to bed at around 9:30. I woke up the next morning in cairns. In cairns it’s like the same things as airlie beach because it has a salt water pool and you can’t swim in the ocean because of the box jelly fish. Before we went to the salt water pool we went to a store. There I got a snorkel mask. I used it in the pool to get ready for the Great Barrier Reef. The pool was nice but there was lots of homeless people there. I was in the pool for 3 hours straight and my hands looked like raisins. When I got out of the pool we headed to the ship again. When we got back on the ship we headed back to our state room and slept because we were quite tired for some reason. When we woke up we had to go to supper. We went to this restaurant that was quite nice. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo but with no Alfredo sauce. It was so good. When we were done we went to our state room and watched a show until we went to bed. ( You thought that we went to a show your wrong) We didn’t go to a show because we didn’t think it would be that good. The next day was the port Douglas. When we got to port Douglas we did our Great Barrier Reef tour. When we got to the Great Barrier Reef we went in the water and saw turtles, sharks, loads of fish, and a couple of jellyfish. The time went by so fast it felt like a second. When we were done we went back to our boat and went to our state room and watched the USA vs Canada game. Sadly Canada lost 3-1. When we got do the same as the other night went to supper. I ordered the same as last time too. But we didn’t go to a nice one it was less fancier. We went to a show tonight and the show we went to was like a musical. I didn’t like it because I don’t like musicals but my family liked it. The next day we headed back to Brisbane. I took two sea days to get back to Brisbane but I didn’t mind. For those two sea days we did what we usually do go to the pool and get pizza. That is basically it for the cruise. I will definitely come back on a cruise. Bye
