Day 1. "Hot, Hot, Hot" sail away party, Are you smarter than a Backstreet Boy and the "Don't put out the glow" deck party.
So we weren't on the boat that long before all the boys eventually made their way into the dining area for some lunch. Fans were going crazy taking pics of them eating, ect. (So weird. LOL) Said a quick Hello to Brian and he hugged me and mentioned the sneakers that he made me(at this point still didn't believe he actually made me sneakers.) he told me they'd match my shirt and I'd get them soon. LOL
Went and met up with Casey and Heather. So awesome to finally meet Heather, pretty sure we were separated at birth or something. Haha Loved hanging out with them.
Went to find a spot for the sail away party. Hung out with Marge, Morgan & Charyl. So much fun. Seriously I love you guys. Thanks for letting me tag along. True story. The boys came out in sailor outfits. So sexy. Brian spotted me & told me I'd be getting my sneakers in 5 minutes. Then he disappeared for a few and soon reappeared with the sneakers. Now a little back tracking for those who don't know the sneaker story. So I tweeted Brian asking if I could borrow a pair of his bright kicks for the "Don't put out the glow" deck party & he asked me what size and said he might make me some. I've learned over the years never to doubt that man and he is usually a man of his word. This time would prove to be no different. LOL
So he comes back with the sneakers. They are so awesome. I love them. If you are reading this Brian seriously Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! a million times over! You are amazing. Don't EVER change.
He was super cute about it. He said they didn't have my size in women's so he got me a size in men and told me to let him know if they didn't fit. But they did. He's cute. :)
These are the sweet kicks Brian made for me. I love them. :)
The sail away party was lots of fun. The boys were full of energy and seemed ready for the cruise.
Next up was "Are you smarter than a Backstreet Boy." The boys were crazy. It was a lot of fun as well. I didn't take too many pics I just watched and enjoyed.
Later was the "Don't put out the glow" deck party along with free drinks from the boys. One of my favorite parts of the cruise. No shame. ;)
Love this girl. True story. She had me at Lemonade. Hehe
I seriously love these two. I don't care what anyone says. They are the cutest things together.
Sometimes I try to do a cart wheel and then stand on my head with the help of Heather. Not something I would recommend especially if you are drunk and on a boat in the middle of the ocean. LOL
So we were just hanging around playing on the boat at about 4am and who do we run into? Oh you know just this guy. LOL I was like "Where the F*** did you come from Howie?" Good times.
Q was there as well. I seriously love Q.
Day 2. Beach party and Halloween deck party.
So we had to take a tender boat to get to the island. It was pretty creepy. But when we got there the island was beautiful. I really never wanted to leave.
True story!
Brian came over to where we were standing and we chatted for a bit. He said he heard I was afraid to wear my sneakers because I was afraid I was gonna spill something on them. Haha Eventually I wore them though. ;)
I asked him if I could take a picture of him. And of course he was okay with that. :)
Then he was like "Oh don't you want a picture with me?" And I was like "sure." If a Backstreet Boy asks you to take a picture you don't say No. Just saying. ;)
So we head back to the boat and get ready for dinner and the Halloween themed deck party.
The boys came dressed as the Village People. Brian was trying to kill me this cruise I believe. He was constantly dressed in uniforms. Men in uniforms are sexy sir. LOL
Got pictures with AJ, Kevin and Brian on Halloween night. Brian was crazy. He took like everyone's iPhone and snapped a bunch of selifes with them. It was hilarious but a lot of fun.
This was probably one of my favorite(and funniest) moments on the cruise with Brian. He was taking pics with everyone and when he got near me he sat on my hand because it was leaning on the little barricade thing. So I was like "Brian!!!" and he laughed and said "Oh sorry for sitting on your hand!" and I said "it's okay!" and he laughed and made a face and said "oh it is?" and then did it like 3 more times. He's crazy. LOL
Then the song "Grab someone sexy tell 'em HEY" came on and he was standing in front of me so I grabbed his shoulder and said "HEY!" and he looked at me confused and said "Hey??...Ohhhh *laughs* I get it. That's funny." I seriously love him. He's so awesome.
Selfie fun with Mr. Littrell <3
Leighanne even joined in on the fun. :)
They are so much fun. :)
I got to play with Kevin's hair again. I told him I loved his hair. he said thank you. I told him how every time I see him I just wanna ruffle it up and play with it & then he took his cowboy hat of and said "go for it." I died. Its so soft and fluffy. He then spent like 15 minutes telling me how he gets it so soft. I seriously love him.
I saw more of AJ then I ever wanted to on this cruise. Haha Oh AJ. LOL
All the days blend together kind of. I think this was when Nick had his Nick at Nite thing. I went to check out for a minute but it was kind of boring. DJ'ing isn't really my thing. And for his fans sake I kind of wished he did something else that was more interactive but at the same time with how some fans can be I don't blame him for being kind of distant. And I know how much he loves to DJ.
Day 3: Meet-n-Greet,Wylee fashion show, Howie's Rum DMC, Kevin's cover story, Q&A, concert and Bachelorette night. It was a busy fun day.
First up pics with the boys. They decided to wear their Captain's outfit for the pics. Smart decision boys. :)
The Wylee party was SO much fun. At first I didn't wanna do it but I'm so glad I went through with it. (Thanks Leighanne and Jodi and anyone else who helped talk me into it. Although I think that drink helped me out too, Thanks Jodi. ;) LOL)
I even wore makeup which never happens.Thanks Emily. And Heather too. Peer pressure is horrible. ;)
I was a little freaked out walking the runway with a bunch of fans watching me AND Brian. But it wasn't so bad. Even if Brian made me model the sneakers he made me more than the Wylee shirt. LOL
Seriously a HUGE thank you to Leighanne for always being so sweet and kind to fans. I'm so glad Brian pushed you to do the fashion show. So much fun.
The best bodyguard in the business. Just don't tell Q. ;) Haha
I didn't stick around for Howie's event. Partly because I didn't even realize it was in the same spot as the Wylee fashion show and partly because I was hungry I think. LOL
The Q&A was fun but honestly I think AJ talks to much. And he interrupts a lot as well. No hate really but it just gets annoying kind of. LOL
Saw part of Kevin's cover story. The way he did "Back to your heart" was amazing. I loved it.
Next we went to eat then get ready for the last deck party before we went to watch the concert. I loved the concert. The boys always put on an amazing show. They just did the "In a world like this" concert. Amazing as usual.
Next was the bachelorette deck party. The last night of the cruise is always the night you never sleep. I mean you are on a boat what fun would that be? So you just hang out play, get drunk, see some Backstreet Boys and then roll off the boat in the morning. At least that's what I have done every cruise so far. LOL
The boys outfits for the night were sexy. Brian even rok'ed a pink bra and his Backstreet Boys boxers. Sexy. LOL
After the boys left is when the real fun happens. 4am pizza and hanging with friends is one of my favorite things about the cruises. Although I shouldn't be allowed to use butter knives while intoxicated I don't think. I don't even know what's going on. LOL
But the real sign of a good night is when you take a picture and you don't remember taking it. Fun times. Letting people skip the line for pizza while others get mad. Oops? LOL
So this was my 3rd Backstreet Boys cruise and by far the best one. Not only because of the boys but because of the friends I was with and the new friends I met. I can't wait to do it again.
If you were a part of this in any way, shape or form I just wanna say a HUGE thank you. If I didn't mention you in the blog at all PLEASE don't take it personal but I enjoyed meeting so many people who I talk with frequently on twitter, ect. It was a blast.
A special thank you to Casey, Heather, Marge, Morgan and Charyl. I spent the most time with you guys either before, during or after the cruise and I loved all the moments and memories we made together. I wouldn't change them for anything. True story. Thanks for being my friend and taking the time to get to know me and not judging me I truly do appreciate it. :)
To the Backstreet Boys...there are NO WORDS to describe the way you boys make me feel. Can't believe I've been a part of this journey for almost 17 years. Thank you for letting me come along for the ride. Especially Brian...honestly you leave me speechless. I don't know how I got so lucky and blessed to be in the position I am in now but I wouldn't trade ANY of the moments I have shared with you for anything in the world. And despite what some might think I appreciate and I am grateful for every single moment of your time that you have given me along with those other 4 boys. My life wouldn't be the same without you guys in it so THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I also wouldn't have some of the best friends in the world without you boys! :)
Until next time.....
You were not a tag along. You were part of the team/group/family! Glad to have you allow us to tag with you. I mean really your the famous one ;) j/k. From Mayonnaise hot dogs in LA. Lemonade out "Bingo's" nose, Hearing Charyl say the "F" word in the car while driving by abandoned strip clubs, and talking to Resa on the phone. By showing you how you got all your bruises on your thighs and arms. To the cruise and experiencing your shoe deliverance, your cartwheel/tumble epic fail and then leaving to go to the airport and take you home. I still cant believe you took your pants off at the terminal of the airport and cruise port, out in public for all too see (And pictures to prove it!) I am proud to share these experiences with you. I'm glad we are friends, and I look forward to many many more Backstreet or non backstreet adventures with you. Glad I met Heather and Casey and we all enjoyed a new found friendship.
ReplyDeleteAs for Mr. Brian Littrell. We know he reads this so I'm gonna put it out there. We have so much stories you would die laughing if you had time to hear em about Yahtzee, Bingo, Marco/Polo Oh I mean Amber aka (Ms America). Pictures, and tons of laughs all because you boys brought us together. With that said..... We look forward to more of the BSB journey with you bro and hope you know how much we love you and the rest of the boys!.. #lemonaidNose #TrueStory #InRealLife #ExcuseMeSir #Seriously #TheFWord #SeducingBrusing #CartWheelFail #AmazingFriendship #FloridaRoadTrip #ReadTheseHashTagsToGetAnIdeaOfOurWeekendTogether #LoveThisFamily
