Well I was..
For 5 glorious days Mr. Fats, myself and 30 people I know made the Carnival Triumph our home. There was water for days ( literally) , food, alcohol, shows, horrible singing, and did I mention alcohol? It was fantastic. ( minus water for days, 30 people I knew, and alcohol)
Want to see this girl panic ? lock her in a room with no windows, no lights, and water surrounding.I have always loved the ocean . But when there's so much of it and there is no land to be seen you kind of get concerned. All the negatives pop up in your mind. You start to think if this vessel goes down where could I swim to safety. How long can I hold my breath? Can I get thru the other thousands of people who will be running and swimming for their lives? Will you see folks floating? .. oh no
The boat was full! There was over 2000 people on this ship. And honestly you would have never known unless you were getting on the ship or off. There were about 4 pools ( don't quote me) , 3 dinning rooms, 5 different eateries on the 9th floor (Lido deck) { if you ever see a Guys burgers STOP & EAT a burger}, A huge TV, spa, gym, basketball court, water slide, mini golf, and a kids play area. Sounds better than a 5 star hotel doesn't it? I think in all there were 14 floors including the floors that housed the workers. I have never met such considerate and kind individuals in my life. I know they are getting paid to do a job but there are people in the US that are paid to be polite and they act like it kills them.
If you ever take a cruise make sure you bring some type of motion sickness preventative. I was lucky to not be sick but there were others that were not so lucky. The rocking of the boat wasn't bad every day. And its kind of funny to see everyone stumble around like their drunk. My favorite was the young kids. One minute they were standing up and holding a pant leg and the next they were on their bottoms crying. HILARIOUS! (kids are so dramatic)
One thing that I missed were BISCUITS this vessel had all types of food but they didn't make biscuits not one day. I'm like where can I find some flakey buttery biscuits? But at least there was bacon so all was not lost. The formal dinning rooms were amazing. I am not a fancy person so I have no idea what glass or fork I should use. But The servers were very fancy! The food was just bland. I'm from Louisiana I need some flavor. I should have brought some Tony Sats with me.
The cruise director Jen was precious. She reminded me of a cross between Katy Perry, Smurffete, and a umpha lumpa with a British accent.
Any if you wanted to watch people make a fool of themselves you would find whatever room that had karaoke . Shout out to my girl Chole and the Big K look alike. Those girls had it going on!

We have been debating a cruise! And tips? ( I am doing the whole creeper thing too, lol)
ReplyDeleteThanks for creeping ! I've been doing it silently for some time now and since I actually want to make friends on here ( instead of my regular friends reading what I write intheir emails ) I have to speak up! Anywho!
ReplyDeleteCruising is great! Make sure you get a room with a balcony or a window. Cruises are also the cheapest around Sept - i guess right before spring. The entertainment is great and the food is amazing. Sea sickness is real! So dramine it up or get a patch before hand. AND get a passport instead of a passcard you never know whats happening back home and you cant fly out without a passport.... hope thats helpful
