I'm blogging. Can you believe it? It's been almost a year since I've updated my blog. Lazy I guess, well and my laptop bit the dust and that's what I would normally blog on. Oh Santa....mommy needs a new laptop!
Back in July, we joined another big group of friends for the 2019 Friends & Family Cruise-cation: the Sequel for a 7-night cruise on the Carnival Breeze cruise ship. The Breeze is Carnival's second largest ship holding around 4,000 passengers at max capacity and another 1,400 plus crew members, and is about a 1/4 mile long. It was a really, really big ship! We left out of Port Canaveral, Florida and had one day at sea, made stops in Cozumel, Belize, Honduras, and Costa Maya, and then had another day at sea coming back.
Shawn and I flew to Florida, as did another family, but everyone else made the 12+ hour drive there. We are not drivers at all, and jet-setting is the way to travel. We left Friday morning and drove to Louisville, Kentucky and had a direct flight to Orlando, Florida. Shawn and I both love flying and I love having the window seat and watching the land and clouds below. Once we arrived at the airport in Florida, the hotel shuttle picked us up and took us back to the hotel. There was a Chuy's near by and that's one of our favorite restaurants, so we took the hotel shuttle there for dinner that night.
Saturday morning we were up bright and early to catch the shuttle bus from our hotel to Port Canaveral. It was about a hour drive. One stop to let the Micky Mousekeeter's off at the Disney ship and we were at our ship location. Boarding was super fast and easy and within a short amount of time we were on the boat and partaking of the fun! I love the silliness of the guys below!
Our group of 31 friends and family! These peeps are so fun to cruise with!
Jamie and Kenzie getting their groove on!
Our first full day on the ship was a day at sea. We spent time exploring the ship and trying to relax a little.
I played Bingo that afternoon but got the shaft. I bought the $40 bingo package and it came with 9 cards, a dauber, and some pull tabs. Little did I know they only played three games! It was a fun time, but not $40 fun. LOL!!
Some of the guys played in a putt-putt tournament too and Shawn and Wally both got a hole-in-one and received medals for that. The guys are shown proudly displaying their charms!
For dinner that night, it was Owen's birthday so they brought out a birthday cake and everyone joined in singing Happy Birthday to him!
