Christmas is over and the decorations are stored away again. What now? My thoughts have turned to days of warmer climates. The Caribbean is calling. We must answer. Carnival take us away! (in a few weeks)
We haven’t sailed with Carnival since December 2022, and it was on one of their oldest and smallest ships – the Paradise (appr. 2100 passengers). This time we are sailing on one of their newest and largest ships – the Celebration (6600 passengers).
As a matter of fact, the Celebration will be the largest ship we have ever cruised on with any line. I have to admit I am a little apprehensive about being on a ship with so many people. But when you are offered a free cruise with an aft extended-balcony room – you don’t get to be too picky.
We are also sailing out of Miami this time and we have never sailed from there before. I hope the Carnival embarkation/disembarkation here is as smooth as we have experienced at Tampa and Port Canaveral.
Our first 7-day segment will be the Eastern Caribbean – Amber Cove, San Juan, and St. Thomas. Our second 7-day segment will be the Western Caribbean – Cozumel, Mahogany Bay, and Costa Maya. We have been to these ports several times. It remains to be seen if we actually get off the ship at any of these ports.
So, the countdown to embarkation has begun. Hoping for calm seas and sunny warm days.
