Christian Vacation (worth every penny even the pennies I don’t have)

Christian Vacation (worth every penny even the pennies I don’t have)
This was the first cruise that I have ever been on. So I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I had an awesome time. I think it had a lot to do with the atmosphere on this cruise. PCC is a Christian organization that puts on Christian themed Cruises. As the Name would suggest. My wife and I have been Christians since we where small children and have listened to Christian Music since we where in our teens. I have about 15g of music on my computer at work and this is what I listen to as I work all day. If you have ever listened to Christian Music you know it can be very exhilarating and sometimes calming. I personally like a mix of everything from Rock to alternative and even Praise and Worship.
Some of my favorite Musicians are:
· Michel W Smith
· Barlow Girls
· Third Day
· Big Daddy Weave
· Caedmon's Call
· Kutless
· Steven Curtis Chapman
· tobyMac
· DC Talk
And the list goes on.
I was listening to the radio one day and heard about another PCC called the Klove cruise. I knew that my wife and I where looking at going on a cruise for our 10 year anniversary but we hadn’t decided on any thing yet. I went to the site and discovered that the cruise was sold out and it was to soon anyway.
While I was there I discovered “The Music Boat”. After reading about who was going to be on the cruise I knew my wife would want to go.
Some of the Artist would be:

So after we talked about it we book it. I am so glad we did. We sent most of the days relaxing and enjoying the break from reality. And spent the evenings attending concerts that we would either not be able to afford or at least not been able to get the seats that we had.
Here is who we got to see:
Monday Night
Barlowgirls
Aaron Shust
Tuesday Night
Thirdday
Wednesday Night
Comedy Tour
Thursday Night
Shaun Groves
Mark Harris
Nicole c Mullen

Final Concert

Aaron Shust
Salvador
There where several other concerts that we peaked in on but I can’t remember what nights they where. We also got to go to one of the artist signings. My wife was happy because she loves Aaron Shust and she got to get her picture taken with him and got his autograph. I wanted to go tot the thirdday signing but they closed the doors because of how long the line was before we could get to it L
It was a great cruise. It isn’t everyday that you get to eat lunch or stand 5 feet from a Dove award winner while they are enjoying vacation along side of you. I never expected to stand next to Mac Powel from Thirdday as he sang along with 300 fans in a small Packed room for the Aaron Shust concert (Standing room only). That was cool.
These are not our photos but I have lots like them.

On Wednesday we Docked in Ocho Rios Jamaca. We went on an excursion that took us sailing, snorkeling, and to Dunns River Falls. We had a great time, Until it was time to come back to the Ship and got stuck in a rain storm. It rained so hard that it felt like hail on the skin. It only lasted about 20 min and then it stopped which meant we didn’t have to spend the rest of the time Shopping in the poring rain.
Over all it was a great trip. We did need to come home though cause we missed the kids.
If you are looking for a great vacation I would recommend PCC any day.
