Western Caribbean Carnival Cruise Vacation

All 7 of us Whites were able to get together for this family vacation and we had a wonderful time enjoying the sun, turquoise waters, relaxation and food that were in abundance. We all flew in to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to start our time together. We enjoyed the Florida coast beach and pools Friday night and Saturday, then all of us went to a Miami Dolphins NFL game Saturday night. Sunday we went to church, then boarded the Carnival Paradise cruise ship in Miami to start our 7-day adventure. Our cruise took us to ports of call in Belize, Roatan Island in Honduras, Grand Cayman and then to Cozumel, Mexico, with leisure days at sea the rest of the time. We had four cabins on the ship so had plenty of room to spread out but also spent many hours together as we ate many meals as a family on board, along with experiencing the entertainment and comedy shows, nightly Karaoke, weight room, pools and sun decks of this wonderful non-smoking cruise ship. Our port excursions gave us the chance to see different cultures and do interesting and varied activities. When we weren’t having fun elsewhere we seemed to always be able to eat, eat and eat some more as the ship food was plentiful and non-stop … and we never had to wash dishes once! It was a great family experience that will long hold fond memories for all of us.
