Oh I felt like I didn’t do his birthday justice. There I said it. Yes, I told myself over and over that he’s one, and that he’ll never remember it, but I still felt bad that I didn’t make him a cake and get him a balloon and you know, just make it special for… [continue reading]
Freeport Harbour Grand Bahama Island
The next morning after the sea sickness episode we woke up docked at Freeport Grand Bahama Island. We thought it would be fun to eat breakfast outside in the fresh air. The kids do not look like they had a rough night do they? After breakfast we took the kids to Camp Carnival and then… [continue reading]
Sea Sick
After Jason and I ate a late lunch we picked up the kids from their activities and took them back to the water slides. This time we let Bobby play in the water too even though it was a little chilly. He had so much fun that I couldn’t get him to look at the… [continue reading]
Nassau Bahamas Historical Tour
This is the one excursion we took. We left the four older children at Camp Carnival and just took Bobby with us. Before we cruised we didn’t know if we would feel comfortable leaving the kids, but once we saw how it was run and how much the kids loved it, we were totally fine… [continue reading]
Carnival Cruise Formal Dinner
Our second night on the ship ended with formal night. I had been looking forward to dressing up and the food was reported to be the best on this night. But after swimming and letting the kids go their activity while we strolled the ship, there wasn’t much time to get ready if we were… [continue reading]
Eaves dropping on board
After we spent a couple of hours on the water slides we took the older four kids back to Camp Carnival. They were going to be painting and my kids didn’t want to miss it. That was fine with us. Jason and I took advantage and went to sit outside where we could enjoy the… [continue reading]
Day 2 aboard the Carnival Sensation: At Sea
Our second day on the ship we were at sea all day. I think this was my favorite day. I really enjoyed looking out at the water. It was really calm. As soon as the kids began waking up we all got ready and went to the fancy dining room for breakfast. They even had… [continue reading]
Day 1 of our cruise aboard the Carnival Sensation
After setting sail and enjoying the feel of the ship…cruising (yikes), we made our way to the orientation for Camp Carnival. You know the place where we would be able to leave our four kiddos so they could have lots of fun? Yep, I think we were the first ones there! Whose kids do you… [continue reading]
Setting Sail on the Carnival Sensation
After we boarded the ship and thoroughly perused the two open restaurants, we found our rooms. Each had four bunk beds. I was amazed at how efficient the lay out was. I was prepared for the rooms to be small, but I thought they were very nice! We waited for our luggage and then took… [continue reading]
Boarding the Carnival Sensation
We left Busch Gardens at 8:00 when the park closed and drove two and a half hours from Tampa, Florida to Cocoa Beach. We wanted to make sure and be near Port Canaveral. I did not purchase insurance on our cruise so I figured if we had a flat tire we’d have all night to… [continue reading]
