Cruise Pics 1 - The First Few Days

Derek & I set out on our cruise last weekend - a first for either of us. We were so excited and had a great time. Here we are in line, getting the initial glimpse of our ship...the Carnival Pride


We boarded the ship but had to wait a little bit for the rooms to get finished being cleaned. Everyone got to start wandering about the ship. First up for Derek was the Perfect Game Bar - a sports bar, but alas, no good football games :(


We got lunch right away -- our introduction to non-stop eating for the next week. Here is the Lido deck with the pools and casual dining area. "Conveniently" our stateroom was just one floor beneath it


The first few days were actually "Fun Days at Sea" as we headed to Mexican waters. As we got closer, the weather got warmer and warmer. There were lots of activities to keep us occupied...here is an ice-carving demonstration

Yay..... our first towel animal!!!! We were getting mighty spoiled with nightly turn-down service and mints on our pillows.


Derek sitting in the Rafael Lounge where many of the trivia and other games were held.


Our deck was awesome! We loved hearing and seeing the water so close by!


Carnival likes to party! Here is a dance fest on the Lido deck with live music and everyone having a great time.

More photos and memories to come!
