Cruising with the family- day 2

Day 2: Day at Sea

Ice Cream 🍦 for Breakfast... Why not! lol! 😂

Our first day at sea was quite relaxing.

We hung around, took it easy and did as we pleased.

The 12th deck had a club house, a sport court, and a running track.

We took time there and played games.

I took the opportunity to go on a little jog!

Felt so good! 🏃🏼‍♀️

Loving the ocean breeze!

Soaking up some sun! ☀️

Jon took Eden to a 3D movie!

I don't think Eden enjoyed it as much as Jon did.

It was a spooky movie and Eden doesn't like to be scared.

We really enjoyed playing with the shuffleboards

Coming in to our rooms and seeing a nicely folded towel animal was always the highlight of our days!

This nice staff took time to make a bunny for the kids!

He was so kind to Kiki, Eden, and Keilani.

They had so much fun!

❤️

Dinner was so late, and the kids often could not make it to the end of dinner. But we always tried to make a point to go because it was yet again another reason for us to sit together, have more delicious food, have more fun with our amazing staff!

We always had a pre-dinner either at the pizzeria or Guy's Burger Joint anyway!

Cruising with the family- day 1

For the kids spring break we decided to take the family on a 7 day Western Caribbean Cruise with Carnival making 3 stops; Cozumel, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Cayman Island, and Ochos Rios, Jamaica. We were all so excited about this vacation because we needed some time away from the crazy busy day to day schedule, needed some time as a family, and we knew this would be our last big family vacation as a family for a long time since Julien is put his mission papers a few days ago and is hoping to go this summer and next year Logan plans to go as well.

Day 1: Boarding the Carnival Vista

First up shuttle ride to the boat!

Once we arrived at the dock we dropped off our luggage, filled out a medical and recent travel card due to the cover 19 situation, and got checked in. We all had our picture taken for the check-in process. Keilani refused of course! She is always so friendly.....

Upon loading they tested all of our temperatures. I was glad they were taking such precautions.

Once we were debriefed we went to the Lido deck for lunch!

I had forgotten how much selection and how delicious the food was.

We then went about the boat to see all it had to offer and get our bearings.

They had an awesome kids club and a Dr Seuss reading area which Jon had previously signed up the younger kids to.

We checked out our rooms which were located in the Family Harbor Section.

One of the things we loved about being in the Harbor Suite was that we had our own lounge where they served breakfast, lunch, dinners, drinks, snacks, soft served all day. There were video games, board games, TV's. It was very convenient!

Eden already made a buddy!

The boys found Guys Burger Joint!

Our boat had Guys Burger Joint which serves the best burger I have ever had in my life!

We were all looking forward to trying them, and it looks like the boys did not hesitate scope it out and try the burgers without us.

Jon needed a little snooze before our late night dinner!

Night stroll with this cutie!

Eden could not decide on dinner, so he got 2!

Once we got back to the room we were all ready for some much needed rest!

Tumblers

I wanted to do something special for the family for our cruise so I decided to make specialized tumblers for all with their names on it! It was a big success!
