LJ and I decided that it would be much more fun to go on a
cruise for thanksgiving than to have to schlep ourselves back to Ohio and do
that whole thing.
We dropped baby Murphy man at Camp Bow Wow and made the 4
hour venture to Charleston and hopped on the boat on Thanksgiving Day. We
explored the ship and made a “no elevator rule” because we are young able
bodies that can walk our asses up stairs after seeing all the people using
elevators to go up one floor. If you need the elevator, cool, if you are lazy, you suck.
The boat left the dock at 5 and finally, it was dinner time.
I was totally expecting some ridiculous food because it was HELLO
THANKSGIVING!?!? But it was just normal cruise food, nothing special—I was
PISSED. I want flair, with pilgrims, giant turkeys, and pies everywhere. WTF Carnival.
Day 1 day at sea
Got sick in the morning. Way to start it off with a bang
linds. Rocking boats and morning sickness.We jacked around for the whole day again. For dinner we
had oysters Rockefeller, filet mignon and short ribs. We were not Impressed with
the food again but the chocolate lava cake was good. After dinner we went to a
show and saw “The Brits” which was a play on the beetles songs.
Day 2 day at sea
Still too cold to lay out but there were some troopers
out on the deck trying to suck the life from the sun. I wasn’t ready yet to don
my bathing suit so we shopped and gambled a little bit until dinner. It was the Captain’s dinner so we had to dress
up. Have you ever tried to walk in high heels, knocked up, on a vessel that is
swaying back and forth? Yeah that shit is unnecessary. At dinner we had lobster
and large shrimp and dessert was a cheese plate and caramel apple delish plate
of love. I would say this was by far the best day of food that we had all
cruise. Levi really digs the comedy shows so we went to two of them a show for
kids and adults.
Day 3
Ate breakfast and got off the boat in Nassau but not after of
course getting sick. It’s a beautiful world I live in. We walked to jenkonoo beach and just hung out.
It was still too cold to lay out because of the wind, the sun was nice. We
walked about 5+ miles around Nassau to see the queen’s staircase which was
really neat.
It did wear me out though. Definitely the first time I have been
swollen on my feet and my hands. I looked like the state puffed marshmallow man. It was the Ohio State Michigan game day so we
had our shirts on and loved everyone yelling OH-IO and go bucks! I think we
were somewhere around 20 people saying things to us :)
Day 4
Oh My God we
slept in until 10am!!! I haven’t done that since high school!! We wanted to go
on this sick excursion in Freeport where we would go hiking and then go canoeing and hang
out with nature. It was 1 of like 5 excursions that pregnant people could go on
per the Carnival booking information. LJ and I went to purchase it and of
course the woman said that I wouldn't be allowed to go because it was “very
vigorous” and they “don’t recommend pregnant women to take this trip” Listen
lady, I don’t have time for your shit. I want to canoe and hike. Needless to say, we ended up going to the beach where LJ had an all you can drink pass and I just
laid out and enjoyed the sunshine. Check
out this little lady bump.
Day 5
Another day
at sea. NOOOO
Finally, we
were back in Charleston and we got our land legs back. All in all the trip was
good, but definitely not up to my expectations, so that kind of sucked. It was
really nice to not have our phones on for 5 days and to be completely off the
grid from everyone. I would give the overall trip a "C" if I had to.
