In March 2017 Chris and I took a Bahamas Cruise aboard the Carnival Dream sailing out of New Orleans, LA. This beautiful floating resort took us to the following destinations:
Key West, FL Freeport, Bahamas Nassau, Bahamas
The Carnival Dream... Our home away from home for the next 7 days!
Chris and I have been on 9 other cruises prior to this one; 6 with Carnival, 2 with Royal Caribbean and 1 withPrincess. This blog will include daily entries of our 7 days, a broad "Foodies" blog highlighting all of the food options available on the Carnival Dream as well as an extensive photo review of the ship. Thank you SO MUCH to all my followers... without you the blog would not be as popular as it is today! Be sure to stay tuned as the posts come through over the next few days and weeks.
Once again, we owe all of these blessings to our Lord and Savior! He has truly blessed Chris and I, as well as our family! We currently have 3 more cruises booked and a few more after that on the horizon for the next 2+ years, with and without kids, and we are very excited to set sail once again.

Thank you so much for following along and until we meet again...
This cruise was AMAZING and lived up to all of our exceptions but sadly it was time to say good-bye to the Dream.
Disembarkation
Unfortunately, we set our alarm clocks bright and early for 6AM and were up and at 'em before the sun came up. We got dressed and ready and then went to Blue Iguana for our last breakfast on the wonderful Carnival Dream. We ate and then planned to go back to the room to wait for the "announcement" about self- assist disembark. TIP- Self assist is a way of getting off the ship completely unassisted. You must carry ALL of your luggage off with you. Many times you have to use stairs the entire way as elevators are closed for deck crew setting up for the following cruise. We have used this on many of our cruises and even though you have to carry luggage far it is worth it to us. However, we have noticed more and more people using this service.
Watching the sunrise over New Orleans.
While we were walking back to the room we noticed people in the atrium in a line with luggage and we knew we needed to check it out. We never heard the announcement that we had cleared customs or that self assist had begun and I am still uncertain if it was ever made but people were getting off the ship. We went to our room and loaded up and luckily found an elevator to go down to deck 3 from our 6th floor cabin.
The atrium stairway was FULL of people and luggage. It was a nightmare for a claustrophobic person like me.
The line to get off the ship.
It was crazy crowded and I would say at least 1,000 people were trying to get off. We dwindled our way through the crowd and to the gangway. We heard the last "DING" at 7:13AM and started our way down the gangway to the New Orleans Cruise Terminal. The gangway was very claustrophobic and had lots of zig and zags but we made it. By 7:32AM we were past customs and had called our hotel for our "pre-paid" taxi.
Another claustrophobic nightmare on the 10 foot wide gangway!
We waited for about 15 minutes before our taxi arrived at 7:49AM. TIP- The Harvey Comfort Suites offers a "Cruise and Park" package which allows for 7 days of parking during the duration of the cruise and taxi transportation to and from the cruise pier. It was very easy to get the cab and we only waited 15 minutes. We were back at the hotel and loading our car by 8:12AM.
The rest of the day was spent on I-10 trying to get back to The Woodlands and our babies. The drive was easy and uneventful (unlike the previous Sunday's drive) and we made it back home to our kiddos by 2:30PM.
Welcome back to God's country! Texas will always be my HOME SWEET HOME!
Oh how I missed this adorable face!
Our Dream Review
The Carnival Dream was an excellent ship and we enjoyed our cruise on her very much.
Overall Ship Decor and Appeal
This ship's decor was good and had a Moulin Rouge feel to it. It was not over the top but definitely gaudy. The theater and lounges were well kept and well laid out.
Food
The Dream Lido deck offered a variety of choices such as Guy's Burgers, Blue Iguana Cantina, Mongolian Wok, Pizzeria del Capitano, the deli as well as the regular buffet. In addition, Pasta Bella and Guy's Pig and Anchor BBQ was also available. This almost made for TOO MANY choices but we considered it a challenge and ate at them all. The Main Dining Room food did not disappoint but I would not label it as our best or our worst. The Chef's Art Steakhouse was superb and we will do it again in the future.
Service
This cruise provided some of the best service we have ever had at sea. Our stateroom steward was quick with our request and very efficient yet not seen too much to be a bother. Our dining room staff was incredible and addressed us by name every night as well as met our every need and demand. This was the shining part of this particular cruise.
Miscellaneous Offerings
The Dream, while a sister ship of the Magic, did not offer as much as the Magic did. We were kinda in shock at the amount of small things we noticed missing. The biggest being the Rope Course the Magic and sister ship Breeze offer. We are excited to sail on the Breeze in July to try all 3 of these sister ships and sail on a complete class of ships.
Next Up
In less than 100 days we will set sail on the Carnival Breeze with our kids. We are very excited to complete the Dream Class of ships and sail on Carnival's 2nd largest ship (currently).
Cruise Number 10 is in the books and we are looking forward to Number 11. Plus we have Number 12 and 13 booked and 1-2 more on the horizon… like I said, WE ARE ADDICTED!
Thank you so much, fellow friends and cruisers, for following along and taking the time to read our daily life aboard a cruise ship. I have tried to make this an easy to read and easy to follow blog. I hope you have been able to find some tips and tricks for your upcoming cruise vacations! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
We woke up early and staked our claim into the much desired clam-shell in the Serenity Deck and never looked back.
Morning
Chris woke up at 7:15AM and quickly got dressed to go and get a large clam-shell lounge chair in the Serenity. He got to the clam-shells at 7:30AM and there were 4 out of 6 open. By the time I got there at 7:45AM they were all taken. TIP- The Carnival Dream only had 6 total clam-shell chairs on this ship so if you truly want one, get there early. We even noticed people sleeping overnight in them. We loved this day and I would do it again in a heart beat... In fact, I WILL do it again in less than 100 days. Around 11AM the Serenity bar opened and we were in our paradise. We enjoyed some cocktails and just sat back and watched the ocean sail by!
Our most prized possession on this day- Again, get there EARLY!
My morning view... it was a GORGEOUS day with seas as smooth as glass.
The seas were calm and it was GORGEOUS outside!
Afternoon
We napped and relaxed all morning before wakening and deciding to go and get food for lunch. We were not going to give up our luxurious seat so we took turns going and getting food. I stood in line for Blue Iguana for me and then stood in line for Guy's Burgers for Chris. It was the last sea day and the lines and lido, especially, were packed with passengers. I got all of our food and brought it back up to the Serenity to eat along side Chris.
The Carnival Dream's position at 1:00PM.
We enjoyed our lunch and then talked a while before taking yet another nap. We woke up to a neighboring Clam-shell shout "dolphins" and sure enough, there were several dolphins jumping on the side of the ship. It was an exhilarating experience that NEVER gets old.
Another money shot... Natalie would have been going CRAZY!
There were lots of dolphins swimming together.
After the dolphins we relaxed some more before Chris decided he wanted Mongolian Wok one more time so he ran down to the main Lido buffet area as it was closing at 2:30PM. He was the last person served but the food still tasted just as good.
We spent the rest of the afternoon just napping, talking and enjoying the gorgeous seas, which were as smooth as glass. We stayed in this clam-shell from 7:30AM to 5PM and I would not change a thing.
Our speed at 3PM.
A congratulatory message from Arnold, our stateroom steward, for our anniversary.
Yep... I really did spend 9 hours in the clam-shell! It was GLORIOUS!
Evening
It was already after 5PM and we knew we had to leave our luxurious comfort and go and not only get ready for dinner but do the worst part of any cruise... PACK to go home! We realized we hadn't completed our tradition game of mini-golf so we tried to go and play before dinner but it was PACKED. TIP- Play mini-golf on embarkation day as it was ALWAYS packed on the Dream class ships. We enjoyed a nice cool breeze instead and then went back to the room and got ready for dinner.
I LOVED sailing on the Dream.
Dinner was quick and easy and we were sad to say goodbye to our excellent waiters and servers, Selvin, Joseph and Alekander. We watched the last "showtime" and sang along with "leaving OUR FunShip. We hope to see you back again!" This song ALWAYS makes me cry as I know this wonderful week of memory making is nearly over.
"You're leaving our FunShip"... So sad!
We finished dinner and thanked our servers before going back up to the Mini-Golf course to get our game in. The sun was setting and it was a perfect and not crowded atmosphere. TIP- The Carnival Dream is only one of a few in the CCL fleet that has 18 holes instead of 9. We played all 18 holes and reclaimed my title of "Davis Mini-Golf Champ" by 1 stroke. We will see who wins on the Breeze!
Our last sunset is always so sad!
God paints such a beautiful picture, doesn't He?
Chris tried really hard to beat me but NOT THIS TIME!
Time to play... I mean, WIN some golf!
I love all the details on the Carnival Dream's mini-golf course.
We planned on going back to the room to pack but was reminded of the evening's show "FLICK" which was all about movies. We used our "GOLD" ticket and got our free drink and watched a very incredible and mind intriguing show about music and movies. TIP- Once again, this entertainment did not disappoint. In fact, I think this show as the best "night before the cruise is over" show we have ever seen. The definitely did not throw in the towel and call it done. Be sure to check this show out if you are sailing on the Carnival Dream.
Another exhilarating show!
We finally made back to the room to pack after hours of procrastinating. We got everything packed and cleaned up by 10:30PM and then went out to the Lanai to see if we had made it to the river. The captain had been sailing at 13-15 knots ALL DAY so we were worried we would not get back in time but sure enough at 10:30PM we looked out and saw land and the muddy waters of the Mississippi River and we knew we were 8 hour or less from New Orleans. To this day Chris and I do not know why the captain was sailing so slow that last day but we enjoyed the calm seas and slow sailing.
We made a few texts to our kids and parents and then went to the Lido deck to get one more slice of pizza and one more cup of hot chocolate. We took our food to go and ate it back in the room before falling asleep shortly after 11:30PM.
It was a day full of NOTHING but looking back it was one of the best sea days we have ever had! I am looking forward to being a clam-shell hog on the Breeze... just 100 days!
Tomorrow… It’s back to the Real World!
Thanks for following along,.. I hope you have been able to get some tips, tricks and great info to help you plan your next cruise vacation! Next Up- Disembarkation and Summary
Mastering the Art of "Chillaxing" Friday, March 17, 2017
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the high seas. We spent out time enjoying the beautiful skies and calm seas while trying to enjoy as much as we could of the Carnival Dream.
Morning
We woke up later than usual at 8:30AM after having enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep. Since it was later in the morning we got dressed and quickly got a very light breakfast as we knew would be partaking in Guy's Pig and Anchor BBQ later in the day. After breakfast we walked around the a little bit before settling on the lanai near Guy's Pig and Anchor where we rested and napped for over an hour. The temperature was still around 65* and it was windy so I had to go back and get long pants and our hoodies just to stay warm on deck.
Our morning view... This NEVER gets old!
This right here is my happy place!
Our noon announcement of where we were in the trip back to New Orleans. The route and directions are so intriguing to me!
Afternoon
As soon as Guy's Pig and Anchored opened at noon we made our way to it's line and enjoy yet another wonderful lunch aboard the Carnival Dream. The line for Guy's Pig and Anchor was even longer than that of the 1st sea day. TIP- Guy's Pig and Anchor is much like "SEA SIDE BBQ" on other Dream class ships and is only open and offered on sea days from 12-2:30PM. It is also not as well known early in the cruise so be prepared for a LONG line on the 2nd and 3rd sea days. The food was EXCELLENT and we were impressed.
In line for Pig and Anchor... Yummy!
We walked around the ship and enjoyed people watching for a little while before going up to deck 11 for the Pasta Bella pasta bar despite having just ate lunch. TIP- This is one of those times were the Carnival Dream almost feels like it has TOO MANY food options, especially for lunch. It is a mega-ship in this category and it was nearly impossible to try (and really enjoy) them all. I knew I like the Pasta Bar as we had it on embarkation as well as on the Magic in 2015. We arrived and got a table and it too was very crowded as it is also not as well known earlier in the cruise. We had about a 15 minute wait time which was not an issue for us as we enjoyed our time and conversation together. The food was excellent yet again and at this point we were STUFFED!
After eating at Pasta Bella it was nearly 2PM and we tried looking for deck chairs throughout the Lido deck with no luck. The sun was shining and there was live music, a deck chair was nowhere to be found. TIP-We did not notice as many people reserving chairs as usual but everyone was out enjoying the day at sea.
There was not an empty chair in sight... sun or shade!
We finally found something in the Serenity area and laid out on a hammock for over an hour before feeling like we were getting burnt. I told Chris I would go and get sunscreen and look for chairs on the lanai deck in the shade. If I was not back in 20 minutes, then I found chairs on the Lanai deck 5 and come and find me.
I went back to the room and got towels, sunscreen and our Lido bag and made my way to the Lanai. Sure enough there were plenty of chairs and even some with a great view. I found 2 lovely chairs all alone and set up camp with our towels and drinks. Nearly an hour passed and I still had not seen Chris. An announcement came on for the medical team to go to "Blue Station" and even though I did not know where that was, I also did not know where my husband was so I packed everything up and started looking. I walked back up to Serenity and all over Lido looking for him with no luck. After 30 minutes I went back to the room and left him a note saying I would be on the Lanai deck forward port side. I went back to my spot and got all comfortable and still no sign of him. I went walking on deck 5 all around the ship and still no sign of him. Finally around 3:30PM I found him in the original spot waiting for me. All was well in the world again.
We laid out on the Lanai for the rest of the afternoon just relaxing and "chillaxing" the day away. We had fallen asleep and were wakened by the sound of a fighter pilot plane. We remember a naval airplane "buzzing" the ship back in March 2015 while we were on the Serenade and sure enough, a military plane "buzzed" our ship. This time I got a great view of the whole ordeal (not a picture as he was just too fast). It was really cool and he was flying low and FAST! TIP- This happened on both of our trips to Key West as there is a naval base there. We talked to other passengers that said this happens EVERY TIME on the return trip back home. It is really neat so plan ahead and be looking for it.
We packed up our stuff and went into the Ocean Plaza for FRIENDS trivia. This is always one of our favorites and I am pretty familiar with the show and it's trivia. Well usually... this time not so much! I only scored 15-21 and usually I am tied for 2nd or 1st. One of these days I will win a "ship on a stick" for that trivia! That is a bucket list item for sure. We ended up staying for the "Diva" trivia and oddly enough we did really well thanks to Chris's undiscovered knowledge of all things Aretha Franklin! We enjoyed the Taste Bar as it was right there in Ocean Plaza and then enjoyed a nice cool breeze before catching the sun set over the Caribbean.
Evening
This sunset was amazing as there were hardly any clouds in the sky. We got to see the entire circular sun set over the horizon and it was unforgettable. We went back to the room and changed before going down to the Main Dining Room for our 2nd formal night at sea.
PRICELESS!
Sunset selfie!
This formal night is never as "fancy" as the 1st, especially for us, but the food in the MDR is just as good as the 1st formal night. Since it was formal night and we were late getting in there due to the sunset we had to wait for a table for nearly 20 minutes but we were sitting down and Selvin was taking our order by 7:50PM. Even though it was a formal night and the service is usually slower, ours was still great and we were able to enjoy a laid back formal meal within 90 minutes.
A special St. Patrick's Day dessert served to every table!
We ate dinner and then went back to the room to get more comfortable and then go to the Carnival Dream premiere of "America Rocks". This show turned out to be VERY good and we enjoyed all of the historical Rock and Roll anthems played. TIP- This show has a pre-show where they give away bandannas and other memorabilia like glow sticks. It's called the "pre-party" and is offered for other shows as well. Be sure to get there early if you want any of these items.
The props and effects of this and all of the shows on the Dream were awe-inspiring to us!
Loved the LIVE band on this show! (Again, now I want to quit my job and join them. Think my kids could go to school on the ship?)
25 or 6 2 4 by Chicago... classic american rock and roll!
After the show we made our way to the aft of the ship for an adult comedy show but within minutes we had to walk away as the comedian was just cursing TOO much. Over a dozen F-bombs within 5 minutes is just not needed. NEVER! We opted to explore more of the night life on the ship. We found a St. Patrick's day party going on in the atrium and they were offering a Pub Crawl on the ship. We hesitated and before we had made up our minds to do it, it was too late. TIP- This "special" event was not listed in the FunTimes so on any type of holiday or special day be pay attention for events like this! It looked like a LOT of fun! We eventually called it a night just passed midnight.
This was a day filled with fun, laughter and sunshine and through it all we learned how to sit back and "chillax".
Thanks for following along! Be sure to check back for tomorrow's post!
Keep Calm and CRUISE on! Stay tuned for our 3rd day at sea!
This was an amazing day exploring Nassau from the land and sea. As the weather was nicer than the day before it was still COLD but that did not stop us from snorkeling in the gorgeous Bahamian waters off the coast of Paradise Island and then exploring downtown Nassau. The day ended with great entertainment on the ship.
Morning
We woke up incredibly early for a cruise at 6AM in order to get ready and eat breakfast before our 7:30AM shore excursion. We got dressed and ready and took our bags and stuff with us to breakfast thinking there would be a line to get food or to even get off the ship. We experienced no lines or rush at either and had a very laid back breakfast time. Blue Iguana was not open that early but the buffet was decent and got us on our way.
The Day 5 Towel Animal Parade on the Carnival Dream.
Good Morning from Nassau. Bahamas
We were off the ship once again in record time and settled on the pier by 7:15AM. It was not even 60* at that time in the morning and we were waiting in a "wind tunnel" between 2 ships which made for a very frigid wait time. Around 7:20AM the Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas left Nassau which allowed the wind to not be as bad and by that time the sun had come out so we were beginning to warm up but it was not the "escape from the winter temperatures" type of day thus far.
Welcome to Nassau!
Majesty of the Seas departing Nassau around 7:30AM.
We waited with a large group for our "Catamaran Sail and Snokel" shore excursion for nearly 30 minutes before we finally started making our way down the pier towards the catamaran at nearly 7:45AM, 15 minutes late. Then we waited longer in line as this shore excursion had well over 300 people participating.
Finally at 8AM we were on the catamaran and sailing to our snorkel site. This was a very nice catamaran which offered a "netting" area at the front and a lot of passengers opted to sit up there despite the cold. We stayed at the back on the benches and were still cold but not as cold. The workers passed out the snorkel gear and had us sign waivers while we waited.
We are on board and ready to snorkel!
We enjoyed the commute to the site as it allowed us to see parts of Nassau we have never seen, including the remote Paradise Island which Atlantis is housed on. Some parts were so industrious and we saw people hard at work and then you would turn your head to look behind and would see 2-3 story MANSIONS. It was a very unique sail for sure.
A view of Atlantis from our catamaran.
A view of the ships in port at 8AM (left to right)- Carnival Dream, NCL Breakaway, RC Anthem of the Seas.
We got to our site and the captain took several tries and minutes to get parked and anchored. Finally at 8:55AM the captain dropped the anchor and started to give us a brief meeting and overview of the snorkel site. We snorkeled at "Angel Fish Reef" on the SE corner of Paradise Island near Nassau. He explained the rules and then said your 45 minute snorkel time starts NOW. There were well over 150 people on the boat so it took at least 20 minutes just to get off.
The water was crystal clear and for the most part it was smooth and not a lot of waves, however there were a total of 5 catamarans out there during our snorkel time so each time one would arrive the wake would make our snorkeling a little shaky. We saw all kinds of coral and fish of many kinds and colors. Our kids have not snorkeled before and I think they are still a little young but I think they would have really enjoyed it.
Chris was very anxious to get in the water but there was a pair of children who delayed him and in getting in by about 10 minutes.
Our catamaran anchored at the snorkel site.
Chris LOVES snorkeling and so do I.

The captain kept giving us 5 minute warnings, each of which lasted about 1 minute before finally calling us all in around 9:30AM. I got back on the boat as one of the last from our vessel at 9:38AM which was barely 25 minutes. Many passengers were upset about the little amount of time in the water but it was too late at that point, the captain was already headed back to the cruise pier. We snorkeled for about 25 minutes when it was all said and done.
TIP- This excursion was called "Catamaran Sail and Snorkel" and was offered via Carnival. It was $69/ per person and included the round trip sail to the snorkel site, snorkel gear (which was nice and clean) as well as drinks on the return trip. While we enjoyed this excursion, it was VERY over-priced for the amount of time spent in the water. We also would have liked a less crowded venue as there were literally 5 catamarans (all carrying about 100 pax each) and it was not the peaceful snorkeling one would hope for. The drinks were excellent and not watered down at all, which was a surprise to us from the previous day but that was still not worth $69 a piece.
On our return trip we sailed closer to Paradise Island and got to see the mansions of many celebrities including Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods and Christian Aguilera. We also sailed to a different drop-off point on the other side of the cruise pier which allowed for us to see the other 3 ships in Nassau on that day: Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas, Norwegian Breakaway and the Carnival Pride. This would be our 3rd (or 4th) time to see the Anthem in port and it is now on the near top of our "bucket list" cruise ships. It truly is a Gaudy Monstrosity.
Tiger Woods Mansion... the captain said it now belongs to his ex-wife!

We got back to Nassau and got ready to get off the catamaran and luckily I asked where the underwater camera was becasue it was not in our bag. It had fallen down between the benches and if I would not have asked where it was we would have left it and never seen it again!
Peace Out Nassau... see you in a bit!
We got off the ship and then walked back to the cruise pier to get back on the ship to clean up and eat lunch before venturing out back in Nassau for the afternoon. We dropped our bags and then enjoyed a nice cool breeze before picking up some lunch around the Lido deck. Unfortunately, our favorites, Guy's Burgers and Blue Iguanna, were not open for lunch on port days so we ate from the Pizzeria and Deli for lunch.
Afternoon
We got back off the ship around 1PM ship time and made our way through the streets of Nassau towards Senor Frogs and the Straw Market. TIP- The Straw Market in Nassau is one of the best souvenir places I have found in the Caribbean as the sellers will really go down on their prices. However, this also means they will barter and push you to buy but if you are patient, it works to your advantage. I walked away with several good bargains but the best was a $55 priced bag I paid $10 for. It was also a moment I was reminded that I have money and can afford to go on this cruise while these people work this market in and out everyday for every dollar they earn.
Welcome to the Bahamas (again)!
We (well I) really do LOVE Nassau! The waters are just GORGEOUS!
We only spent an hour shopping before getting back on the ship as we knew all 4 remaining ships in port were leaving at 4PM. We got back on the ship around 2:30PM and there was still a crazy long line just to get through the gate. We got back on board and grabbed a light snack and then laid out until nearly 5PM.
Evening
After laying out for a few hours we felt as if we were getting burnt so we made our way back to our room to get ready for the evening. After getting ready for dinner we made our way back to the Lido deck to watch another incredible sunset.
Dinner this evening would once again be in the Main Dining Room and we were looking forward to a good menu and food. The food and service were exceptional as usual but we did experience a first. One of the waitstaff dropped a tray of nearly 16-20 prepared food items in the revolving door and they all broke. Then the door kept trying to revolve for about 5 minutes. It was an awkward and eerie silence within the dining room and slowed down the service quite a bit. Both the waiter and the revolving door were just fine.
After dinner we prepared for a full night's entertainment by starting with the gender showdown in the Encore Theater. We did not participate as we did not want to lose our seats but we did have fun. The evening's main entertainment was "The Flying Scotsman" 1 man show. He was performing only 1 show and all alone for the ship. It was an incredible show and just better proved how much of an entertainer this guy really is. I left speechless and in total awe (and also wanting to quit my job to become a Cruise Director... I think this EVERY cruise). TIP- If you are ever on a cruise with Chris Williams as you CD, you HAVE TO GO TO THIS SHOW!
Anytime a show starts with "Don't Stop Believing" it is a GREAT show!
Audience Participation- he even ran to the balcony... TWICE!
My all time favorite... Don't Stop Believing by Journey
Part 2 of his opener- AC/DC
Another Journey classic... Faithfully! He did a great job!
The Flying Scotsman/ Chris Williams... We LOVE YOU!
We walked the Lanai talking about this show and how much we enjoyed him as our cruise director and then went back to the Theater for one of our favorite shows, the Love and Marriage show. We always try to get on this show but have not had any luck and this streak continued as we were not chosen. The show itself was funny but we have seen funnier.
The route we were taking to get from Nassau back to New Orleans... Seemed strange to us!
It was past 11PM and we decided to close the night out in the room and complete our traditional 1 order of room service. TIP- The food was pretty good for Carnival room service and the service was the best we have ever had. From the time we called the order in to the time it arrived was less than 10 minutes, Usually with Carnival it takes nearly an hour.
Nothing like a BLT at midnight! And the chips weren't even stale!
This was a day full of excitement, cold waters and excellent entertainment but we would not have it any other way. We took the cold plunge into the Nassau waters and loved every minute of it.
Thanks for following along! Be sure to check back for tomorrow's post!
Keep Calm and CRUISE on! Stay tuned for our 2nd day at sea!
