In late February, landlubbers Bear and BowWow embarked on their first ever cruise. They first flew to Miami for a few days to work on their tans. Then it was off to Fort Lauderdale to board Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas, which along with its sister ship the Oasis of the Seas is the largest passenger ship in the world.

The boys provide some eye candy for all the other sun worshippers on the beach in South Beach.

About to set sail from Fort Lauderdale.

Arriving in their first port of call, Labadee, Haiti.

They kept their shirts on to avoid burning in the strong Haitian sun.

Luckily the water was calm in Haiti, so Bear didn't have to worry about his mattress flipping over with the wind or waves.

In some ports the boys preferred to stay on board the ship and veg out with their iPods by on the pool deck rather than braving the crowds on shore. Move your cursor over the image for a different shot.

Shopping for chotskies in Jamaica.

The morning routine included room service and breakfast on the balcony, then a nap, before heading up to the pool deck. Move your cursor over the image for a different shot.

Bow Wow enjoys some late day sun on the balcony waiting for his cocktail to be served.

It's Friday, so it must be Mexico.

A bittersweet moment - sunset on their last night on board the Allure of the Seas.

A quick breakfast in the Windjammer Cafe on the last morning before disembarkation. Unfortunately, there was no room service that day.
