The Mayercraft

It's back to reality after an awesome long weekend! We had an amazing time on the Mayercraft Carrier and it really was as fun as we expected. Our first night, in Miami, we checked into our hotel, and went to South Beach. I had never been there before and it was a very good time. We walked down the strip and ended up in a fun bar dancing until about 2am. A great start to the trip!

Friday we boarded the ship and the party began!!! The five of us stayed in the tiniest room imaginable. Two twin beds, two beds came down from the ceiling, and a roll-out....it was very cramped but we didn't care. We spent most of the time watching concerts on the lido deck (the top) and in the casino bar. We went to two different John Mayer concerts that were so great. I love his music and know the words to every song...those are the best concerts to go to. We also saw two comedy shows, participated in the 80's prom night (yeah, we were totally tubular!), laid out on the deck, toured the Bahamas, drank way too much alcohol, and didn't get enough sleep! It was so much fun.

I am a tiny bit bitter. You see, I didn't get to meet John Mayer while both my sisters, and my sister's friend DID. Life is not fair. Here's the story...on the ship there is a nightclub that doesn't really get going until around 1am. Friday night (our first night) my sister and I stayed out dancing until about 4am. Saturday I continued to party and do all the fun stuff with everyone. By Saturday night I was exhausted. Everyone went to the nightclub and around 1:30am I decided to call it a night and go back to the room with my Mom. At 5am the three girls bust in our closet-of-a-room and start yelling "We SO partied with John Mayer!". I find out he sat in the booth behind them at the club, bought all of them shots of Patron, signed stuff, etc. Unbelievable. I was in the room, asleep!
Anyways, that's that. I am not too upset because I still had a great time. I would recommend this type of cruise to anyone who enjoys live music....it was such a wild, fun time. Actually, I am still recovering.
