CRUISES!
|
So, we have now
hosted FOUR scrapbook cruises!
All have been
amazing!
A Few Pictures from Our First Cruise
Just a few Pictures from our 2nd Cruise
A bunch of Pictures from our 4nd Cruise
Our 5th
one is March 2008 and is sold out!
Our November Cruise!!!
(This will be
our 6th cruise!)
4-Night Cruise
to Cabo San Lucas!
November 6-10, 2008
(Veteran’s Day weekend!)
Ok – we used to cruise
on Royal Caribbean, but our usual ship was moved to the Bahamas.
We have never done a Carnival
Cruise before, but we are going to try out the Carnival Elation and you can
join us!
I
spent a day taking an exclusive tour and luncheon on this ship (along with
Jagger and Kristi from Magic 92.5!) and I noticed that there are many
differences between our previous cruises and this one. I’ve tried to
detail some of those difference for you here:
Pros:
ü This cruise will depart from San Diego!!! We used
to depart out of San Pedro – a 1½ hour drive away – YAY!
ü This cruise is 4 nights
instead of three – so, we have a whole extra day of fun!
ü The inside cabins are larger
than RCCL’s – I was really impressed.
ü There are many more social
places on this ship than we are used to. Since we will have an extra day
out to sea, I think it will be nice to have a variety and more ways to
enjoy this ship!
Cons:
ü There are far fewer windows in
the crop room. So, lighting will continue to be an issue. We encourage you
to purchase/bring additional lighting for your work space.
ü There is a $50 charge for any
name changes or corrections. If your cabinmate changes or you don’t
provide your name exactly like it is on your passport, this charge will be
passed on to you.
Other Differences:
ü The crop room is more square
than we are used to with fewer interruptions in space.
ü The tables are made of
aluminum.
ü Carnival has more restrictions
and requirements about sharp objects.
ü The crop room is located off
main dining room in the aft of the ship.
ü Timeline and amounts for
payments is different.
ü The cruise is one additional
day.
ü There are many more public
areas to congregate. I really liked this about this ship. If you want to
get out and have some fun, this ship is really suited to that.
ü The layout is just
considerably different: the ceilings are lower and it was funny to me; the
public restrooms are… well… “weird” – not
sure how else to describe them; there are a lot more public/open
spaces… it’s just different, I guess.
ü I’ll continue to update
this as I recall issues.
