Dear diary, I went on a cruise!
From October 5-9th I went on a Carnival cruise. It was my first cruise ever and I had a pretty good time. I packed a lot of cute outfits and I’m going to be real, compared to previous years I showed a lot more skin than I did before during the summer. (I’m kind of proud of myself; I’m still slowly becoming comfortable in my skin.)
On the cruise they had a good bit of stuff to engage people. For example, they had an 18-20 mixer; I didn’t want to go because, I’m not really the social type and I also just didn’t care for it. (We also didn’t end up finding the room, thankfully.) On the first day, there was a sail away party which is this huge party on lido deck with a bunch of music and vibes. I had a looot of virgin drinks on this cruise, and the food the entire time was amazing. Shout out to “Guys Burgers” because those burgers and fries were everything! We ate really well on this cruise. Oh, and the chocolate lava cake at dinner was amazing too, I literally got it every night.
There was a comedy club, the “club” club, there was a basketball court, pools, huge water slides, ice cream machines, buffets, you name it.
My favorite was walking around the ship, especially the outside area. It was nice feeling the ocean breeze, most of the nights there were movies playing. (Like “The back rooms” and “Michael”.) Looking at the ocean at night was pretty scary though, it was pitch black. Just a reminder how even scarier the ocean is at night.
There were two islands we went to. Nassau and Celebration Key. In Nassau, I had gotten some ice cream, a cute and colorful “Bahamas” bag & a beautiful dress that I wore the next day. It was pretty hot the entire cruise (I got a little tan), but it was still an amazing journey. I do feel like most of that Nassau area were just scams on scams. I remembering buying my dress from this lady and she said her “brother” had a gift for us, once we got over to him, there literally wasn’t any gift. As soon as he starting talking about shot glasses $10 for 2, I was like (in my head) “Where is the “free” gift?” I just feel like they were making up all of these prices. I mean, they could’ve just gotten them shipped from SHEIN or something and racked up the prices lol. That’s tourism for you.
The next day was celebration key which was basically a huge beach/water park. I walked around, walked to the swing bar area, and went to grab some rum cakes. It was amazing, except for the part where I was literally about the pee my pants. I had to use the restroom pretty badly and it got worse as I was standing in that long line. I was on my period, so it’s not like I could just go in the ocean. (I know perfect timing, and trust I was pissed.) Thankfully I made it, but my god was I scared.
-Anyway, I’m glad I went on this cruise, I would totally do another. I’d love to check out Royal Caribbean next. Btw, I’m sooo in love with this dress and I’m glad I brought it. the $40 sacrifice was worth it!
-With Love 💋
