I'd never been on a ship before, but this one was setting sail to The Bahamas. My old roommate, Anna and I were ready for a sea full of fun.
There was no time for make-up that morning after staying up late to pack my bag with a million clothes, of which I would only wear about 4 items.
On our way into the ship a man mentioned lunch. How did he know about my permanent state of hunger?
Following our first feast on the ship it was time to be mustered.
At our muster station was a guy in a Christmas sweater who looked like he was about to drop some sick festive beats. We heard about safety procedures instead. (Later Anna and I would discover that guy was actually pretty musical).
I guess they're trying to avoid having an epic James Cameron blockbuster made about them. I was also not interested in using a wardrobe door as a flotation device, so it was nice they showed us the location of the lifeboats.
Then Anna and I found our cabin.
Anna seemed impressed with the view,
which was a little weird because it was literally just a white wall.
But who needs a view when no windows mean better naps? One of the best and lamest parts of my holiday I was looking forward to was the naps. They did not disappoint.
I couldn't believe it, but the ship had more to offer than just great naps.
There was the buffets,
dance performances
the pool
the ocean view
and this guy, Dustin, in the Christmas night gown.
He was our cruise director. All you need to know about him is he had an almost inappropriate love affair with sparkly hats. His love for them so intense they filled The Grinch's sack.
There was also the night life, but I think it's time for my readers to stop, revive, survive. Maybe even take a little nap. You can read about the Carnival night life in my next blog post.
