Good morning from Freeport!
We are in port with the Carnival Liberty, Carnival Paradise, and the Grand Celebration (formerly Carnival Celebration).
It looks like there’s just tons of fun waiting to be had here!
I’m not too excited about this port. It doesn’t seem like there’s much to do. I think a…

Good morning! We are in Key West with Carnival Victory.
Breakfast
Being on a ship in Key West is definitely different. It’s like the cell phone has just been discovered. Everyone is on them. Good news is I can use my AT&T unlimited data plan all day today.
I’m…

That means I have to go back to Galveston…

I enjoyed Triumph, but I was ready to try a longer cruise and different ports. I had planned on booking the Dream cruise that would sail about six months after I got off of Triumph. Then something unexpected happened. The NBA all-star game was relocated from Charlotte to New…

The departure of Elation brought the arrival of a bigger ship to New Orleans. I booked Triumph for six months after my last Elation cruise.
Embarkation
During embarkation I was stopped when my backpack went through the X-ray machine. The security guy grabs my backpack and asks me to open one…

When I left New Orleans after the first cruise, I really didn’t think I’d be getting on another cruise ship in the near future. I felt like they ripped me off charging a lot of money for no internet. Then on the way out the door I was falsely…

My introduction to cruising came on a whim in the summer of 2014. It was something I always wanted to do. But there was always something stopping me. Either I was too busy. Or I didn’t have the money. Or I didn’t have anyone else who wanted to go…
