As an introduction, this blog will include: the cruise lines, the cruise ships, the excursions, what first-time cruisers should expect, how to get the most out of a cruise, and my own personal experiences of the good and the bad many will encounter on a Caribbean Cruise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
My First Cruise
My first cruise was in June 2005, on the Carnival Elation.
The Elation left out of Galveston, Texas and hit the Western Caribbean: Progresso, Cozumel, and Belize. 3 Great Places to stop with only 7 days - it went by way too fast. This trip consisted of my family - my father, mother, and 2 brothers. I will talk about the places we stopped, the excursions we experienced, and my overall experience of the Carnival Elation in later posts.

My Second Cruise
My second cruise was this past summer, August 2007 on the Carnival Miracle.
The Miracle left out of Manhattan, New York and hit the Eastern Caribbean: San Juan, St. Thomas, and Tortola. This cruise was 8 excellent days that also went by extremely fast. This trip consisted of my entire family - a total of 30 of us! I will also talk about the places we stopped, the excursions we experienced, and my overall experience of the Carnival Miracle in later posts.

Again, I am so excited to tell everyone my experiences cruising and though I have only been on Carnival cruise ships, they are known as the "Fun Ships," and who doesn't want to have fun on vacation. For those who have never been on a cruise and have experienced the fun first hand, here is my summed up explanation of what a cruise is - "Camp for Adults."
