Carnival Cruise Day 1

Well I guess I have put it off as long as I can, so I'll get started before I get behind. I have decided to do these post's day by day. Last week we went on a Caribbean cruise just me and Jeff and our parents. We had a really nice and relaxing time which we all really needed.

We got off to a rainy start Monday morning here in Houston but it cleared up just shortly after we set sail and the rest of the trip ended up being absolutely perfect. We have taken several cruises in the past, however this is the 1st one that we have been on that was not in peak season. And now I am not so sure I will ever take another summer cruise again. Just a few benefits were that the ship was not to its full capacity, which made walking through the decks and halls really nice. There were just a hand full of kids and you never really even saw them due to camp carnival and the weather was perfect as I said before. It was nice and sunny but not scorching hot. This is the 1st cruise I have ever been on that I did not come home burnt to a crisp.
