All good things must come to an end! January 18-19, 2025
Our last day at sea started with another lovely, lazy morning. We had breakfast at the buffet then went down to Ocean Plaza for games and what would be the absolute worst game of trivia ever – but we weren’t alone. We got two of the tv theme show songs – but the winner only Continue reading

Sea Day January 17, 2025
We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast on the lido deck – Mom from the buffet and me from the Cantina (more arepas!). We moved aft and started a game of Rummicube, but after a hand or two, moved down to deck 5 to get out of the wind. Our brief warm weather spell seems to be Continue reading

Puerto Vallarta January 16, 2025
Another lovely, lazy morning! Today is towel animal morning at the pool! It happens once per cruise on Carnival! We had a late morning snack at the buffet, then enjoyed the view of Puerto Vallarta while playing games. We went to the Cucina del Capitano for the pasta bar lunch (pick your pasta, sauce and Continue reading

Mazatlán January 15, 2025
Bueno Dias, Mazatlán! After breakfast at the buffet, we hit the gangplank as soon as we could. Cruise ships dock in the middle of the working port here, so you have to ride a shuttle for 2-3 minutes to the main entrance, which is filled with little shops. We made our way outside to meet Continue reading

La Paz, Mexico January 14, 2025

Before the cruise we had looked and didn’t find anything that sounded really interesting on the excursions, so had thought we would just wander the port area. However, upon embarkation in LA, there was a note in our room selling city Continue reading

Cabo San Lucas, January 13, 2025
Morning! After breakfast at the Cantina, we enjoyed the welcoming committee as we sailed into Cabo! The rocks were outside our window all day and gave us some beautiful views. We went ashore for a little bit, mostly to enjoy the tender ride in – where we were greeted by a clear boat, pelicans and Continue reading

Sea Day! January 12, 2025
Today was a lovely, lazy day at sea. Sunrise off the balcony, breakfast on the pool deck at the Blue Iguana Cantina (made to order breakfast burritos and arepas), and lots of games. We played some in the casino, then settled in Ocean Plaza to play Skipbo, Phase 10 and lots of trivia. We didn’t Continue reading

Sailaway day! Saturday, January 11, 2025
After one final breakfast at the buffet (with the lovely crispy potatoes), we packed up and Lyfted our way to the Carnival cruise pier. The driver actually let us off at the Queen Mary, which was much closer and much faster than the actual drop-off line would have been. Checking was quick and painless – Continue reading
