The ride home wasn't bad at all. After touring New Orleans for a bit, catching a glimpse of Bourbon Street, The Riverwalk, Saints Stadium and such, we cruised on out back to good ole MS. We split the drive, 3 hours a piece, and are both surprisingly full of energy. I've already unpacked everthing, have my 2nd load of clothes in the washer, am starting supper, and cleaning in the mix. BJ mentioned this is the first vacation we've gotten home from and weren't just plain exhausted. The cruise was by far the most fun and relaxing vacation we've ever had. We....(well ME) are already looking for next years destination lol.
Just some fun facts we learned on our first cruise and little odds and ends thing we got to do:
*Dinner: this is your chance to try any and EVERYTHING you want. If you wish to have a bite of everything on the menu, you can totally do it.
The Pizza Pit and Deli are open 24 hours.
There are over 1000 workers with you on the ship taking care of your every need. Breakfast and lunch are open buffet, but at dinner, you never wait on anything. Each group of tables are assigned 3 waiters/waitresses.
We had mini golf, basketball courts, and volleyball courts all on the top deck of our ship.
Sleeping is amazingly soothing, and since with most rooms there are no windows, the room is total darkness, which makes for 9AM mornings seem like 3AM mornings.
I'm kind of at a standstill thinking of everything we did, but all in all again we both mark it as our best vacation....even compared to Hawaii, and it no doubt takes over Las Vegas. Here are a few more pictures of the inside of the ship, showrooms, towel animals, and the beautiful Cozumel. I've never seen water sooo blue.
Oh and the guy I'm standing with was Alite, who was our room steward and did a great job. He was from the Phillipines and he and his wife both work in Housekeeping for Carnival.
