Spirit: Freeport

on
July 12, 2024

I’m going to go out on a limb and say today will be good to dock in Freeport today. My excursion should be a go. I say that because yesterday morning I could feel a constant ship rocking. This morning I don’t feel anything. There was a loud engine…

Freeport: Glass Bottom Boat & Shark Experience

on
July 8, 2024

I booked this tour through Carnival for $79.99. I am always interested when I get a chance to see wildlife in their natural habitat. This is supposed to get us in a glass bottom boat in a location where sharks like to hang out because they’re frequently hand fed…

Spirit: Day 3

on
July 5, 2024

Good morning. Today is President’s Day. We are supposed to be in Bimini but the Captain said we were expecting 30mph winds so we’ll see.

Here are today’s Fun Times.

I’m trying the lido deck coffee shop today.

The coffee was pretty slow for such a short line.

Let’s take a look at…

Spirit: Day 2

on
July 1, 2024

The room was pretty quiet last night and this morning. I have an interesting location. I don’t have anyone next to me. I don’t have anyone behind me. We’ll see how it goes the rest of the week but so far so good.
I heard a whistling in the hallway….

Spirit: Day 1

on
June 28, 2024

I just boarded Carnival Spirit in Mobile, Alabama. Upon boarding they looked at my boarding pass and immediately directed me to my assigned muster station. It’s easier to do that on these smaller ships because all muster stations are on deck 3 here which is the same deck we…

Spirit: Embarkation

on
June 24, 2024

Good Morning! I’m driving in on embarkation morning from the Hilton Garden Inn Mobile West.  It’s 10 miles from the port and a 14-25 minute drive depending on the route and traffic. When I first looked at this it gave me the lower route as the faster route at…

Hilton Garden Inn in West Mobile

on
June 21, 2024

Prior to my Carnival Spirit cruise out of Mobile, Alabama, I booked the Hilton Garden Inn in West Mobile. I was able to get it on Hotwire for $102 where it would’ve cost $227 booking through Hilton. This hotel put me 10 miles from the cruise port on embarkation…

Spirit: Planning

on
June 17, 2024

Booking
I really didn’t have any plans to cruise out of Mobile, to cruise on the Spirit, or to go back to the Bahamas. But during Carnival’s Spring Sale of 2022, I was looking for good prices on cruises with ports I haven’t been to and/or ships I haven’t been…

Jubilee: Debarkation Day

on
June 14, 2024

Good Morning! Today is debarkation day. Sleep wasn’t great last night. I had a lot of broken sleep. It sounded like someone was taking a shower in the room above me at 1:30am. I probably woke up four times.
I decided to try to make the Platinum/Diamond debarkation after the…

Jubilee: Day 7

on
June 10, 2024

Good morning. Today is the last day of the cruise. I fell asleep early last night and missed the Rock ‘N Glow party. On the bright side I was able to get up at 6am with plenty of sleep.
You know what that means? This was my time to to…
