My First Cruise
The Fincantieri shipyard in Malfalcone, Italy gave birth to the Glory. Carnival made a multi-million dollar investment in new technology and sophisticated systems, with passenger safety its first priority. The systems include stabilizers, stern bow thrusters, individually controlled twin rudders, a diesel electric propulsion system, and six medium-speed engines achieving 84,933 hp, all designed to keep this floating resort from rocking and rolling. Carnival Glory A friend was in the travel agency business, and knowing my wife and I like to travel suggested that we take at least one cruise in our life time. I do not get on airplanes and have really gotten tired of driving long distances to different resort locations and board with the same kind of accommodations every year so we decide that we would take a chance. Not caring to much about being on the ocean either I invited a few of our family members and friends as well. It was my mother and father in-law, and another married couple that was our best friends, also my daughter, wife and I which was seven of us. I must mention that the only one that really did not have a super great time was my daughter as she was the only child. So just a suggestion if you are taking a child along make sure you invite a friend of hers along or that cruise my might not be as much fun as it could have been. Being it was our first cruise we wanted to be prepared so we started taking motion sickness pills a few days before we actually boarded the ship. I went deep sea fishing one time and was sick for day’s afterword, so before going fishing the next time I took the pills a few days before and felt great the entire time. If you wait until you are on the ship before taking them you will be sick the entire voyage. The next thing is we packed a change of clothes for every day we were on the ship so we did not have to worry about sending out laundry. It is not as much clothing as you would think as most of the time you are in you bathing suit or shorts and one set of dress clothes if you wanted to go dancing. The ship has so much to do it was unbelievable. They have a pool where you can sun and go swimming, they have different shows all day, games they play, dancing and if you like to gamble they have places on the ship where you can take chances if you know what I mean. Now let’s talk about you meals onboard, and the only words I can think of are incredible. You get the same waiter for your table at every meal. Every meal is a five course and many selections to choose from. Here is a tip, trust your waiter to suggest what he thinks would be the best selection on the menu. That’s what I did and everyone at the table who selected for themselves was disappointed and helping themselves to want was brought to me by our waiter. I am not going to say too much about our accommodation except they were incredible. We had a room that had windows in it, so if you were in your room you could look out at the beautiful blue green water and at night you could fall asleep watching the stars. It was like heaven as we normally go through life just looking at concrete or grass. The cruise we took was to the Bahamas and although we did get off the ship for several hours to take in the local atmosphere and sites we really enjoyed getting back on the ship because of all the amenities it had to offer. All in all I would have to say that it was not only an affordable vacation but was one of the best vacations I have ever taken and has remained in my memory more than any other vacation I have ever taken. If you have never taken a cruise you have no idea what you are missing. It’s a vacation you are never too old to take and enjoy.
