I'm so glad we did; I had no idea how much I would be needing that vacation!!
We had never been on a cruise before. And now we can't wait to go again! It was the best vacation ever. And I mean EVER!
We cruised on Carnival - it was the only cruise line we could afford. But it didn't disappoint. It was so much fun for all of us. The kids loved it. We all did. I wasn't sure about being stuck on a boat - but there was enough room to roam around and not feel trapped.
Yes, some areas were quite tight and a bit crowded...
but honestly... we never felt crowded. We really didn't.
My parents went with us. Look how happy we all were!
Who says (way too much!) money and sunshine can't buy happiness? Oh yes it does! ha.
We made new friends....
We saw crystal clear blue waters and soft as flour white sand...
Nothing like a froo-froo drink on the beach, even if it was $10!
The fun just didn't stop. After all, we were on the Fun Ship, weren't we??!!
Dance Parties R Us!
Well, most of us had fun. ha ha ha. Just kidding dad!! (He really did have a good time!)
Luke ate like a king. He had lobster, lamb, and escargot. Emma had a cheesburger and fries for every lunch and dinner. Yep, every one.
Dinner was really stretched out and exhausting. I mean, really, who can eat so much food and not get tired?? Emma didn't make it to the end of many dinners... poor thing missed out on dessert most nights!
But we could have ice cream any time we wanted - and we sure took advantage of that!
Yes, the decor was a bit tacky. Must've been an older ship?? That ceiling looked like an octopus. How about this Grand Atrium? Vegas anyone??? But man, oh man, did the woman at the bar here know how to make strong drinks. They were so strong, they'd last all day. Yowza!!
I'm already checking out cruise fares again. I just can't help it!! Carnival has a slogan that proved to be so true: "Make your other memories jealous."
Yep, our other memories sure are.
