Carnival Cruise Line

 

We started out in Miami, We got on our ship after about an hour, Long lines checking in, and Lots of travelers.  We were very early, It was to our advantage, I would not have waited for those long lines.  After our ship left Miami, we toured our ship, found all the hot spots, and then found out our luggage was a little lost, Luckily I was prepared with a Carry on bag.  I had it for all my medication, and Bathing suit, and many accessories.  I ahd the time of my life, I had been celebrating finishing Chemo and radiation after a long battle with Breast Cancer, I needed a trip to get me back in sink with life.  Our first stop Costa Maya, I unfortunately got very sick, I had some chicken on shore, Bad idea., the next 3 days on the ship I was sick, But I made my way around, and prepared for Grand Caymen, We went snorkling, Swimming with the Sting Rays, and back to the ship for more adventure.  i love the Casino on the ship, And i favored the Piano Bar.  Our next stop was to Ochios Rios, Jamaica.  The best stop ever, Dunn River Falls, is a must see, we shopped and had a great time.  Once back to the ship we played games on deck, met many different travelers, and staff.  I would encourage all to try it once, I would prefer, maybe a Cruise next time with more stops, and less time on the ship.  All in all , Carnival gave us a very good experience, Except we were not able to get to our Main Dinners, They were too early, and we barely had time to get ready after we were out, getting back.

 

Sincerely,
