Just got off the boat from a week of travel to share these cruise memes with fellow cruisers! For some reason I never took traveling by boat on a cruise as a serious way to vacation. Probably watching Titanic 20 times, nevertheless that was then.

From the joys of elastic waistbands to the drama of baby name debates, pregnancy is basically a reality show starring you and your growing belly.

And while everyone loves to talk about the glow, we all know it’s really just sweat from trying to put on socks.

These memes shine a light on the messy, hilarious, and totally unfiltered side of expecting a baby. Trust us, it’s way more entertaining than your prenatal class group chat.

This summer, we had the chance to do a kid-free vacation and opted to do a cruise, now we are sold! No more convincing is needed.

Cruise Food Memes

When people joke about eating non-stop on a cruise, they aren’t actually joking. According to this post on Cruise Critic, you gain a pound a day while on a cruise ship. Y’all, I don’t doubt it. Take the stairs on the ship and do some extra laps around the walking track because these cruise buffet memes are the truth.

To be completely transparent, I hate pools and no way in hell are you finding me laying out by the cruise pool or any pool.
