We are Home from our Cruise!

WOW - what an amazing week we had cruisin the Caribbean!! It all started with Heather and Alan arriving late Friday night, and after no sleep Saturday night we were up and on our way to Miami bright and early - all 6 of us crammed into the Jeep with luggage packed to the roof!

We arrived in Miami, no problem, and we went through security and check in and then waited to get on the ship! Once on the beautiful Carnival Victory, we knew vacation had begun!!

After sailaway - we were ready to enjoy 2 days at sea on our way to Cozumel. In Cozumel we went to a beautiful beach called Paradise Beach - we enjoyed great food, drinks, the beautiful clear water, water toys, and snorkeling.

After paradise beach we enjoyed some shopping and then ate a local Mexican restaurant where we even had mariachis serenading us!!

After leaving Mexico, we had another Fun Day at Sea - Heather and Alan celebrated their 3rd Anniversary!! Heather and I even went to a Scrapbooking class they had in the Atlantic Dining Room!! We were then on our way to Grand Cayman, where we went to Margaritaville and did some shopping!After scrapping and then Margaritaville, we on our way to Ocho Rios Jamaica, where we climbed the daunting Dunn's River Falls, which was so cool! and then we went through Fern Gulley and to a beautiful private beach called Mahogany beach!
















Jamaica was truly our favorite port so far. We had so little time there and hope to go back and explore this beautiful island again.

Time went fast and before we knew it we were heading back to Miami - total bummer!! My favorite thing on this cruise was having a balcony cabin - I was able to experience our Father God and all His Glory in the beauty of the sunrises and sunsets, and was able to spend some quiet time in His presence and Thank Him for all the Blessings we have!!


We had an amazing time and can't wait to sail with Carnival again!! I could have gone on and on about every little detail, but you'd be reading forever - be sure to click on the Cruise '08 link in the online albums to the left so you can view the multitude of pictures of everything we did!!
