As most of you already know, I went on a 6 day Caribbean cruise to the Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic, Grand Turk, Carnival's private island in the Bahamas - Half Moon Cay, and Nassau! 

PICTURE TIIIIIIME

First picture on the ship. :P

 
Carnival's soft serve is soooo amazing. Maybe it's just because we can actually eat it where it's warm and sunny. Minimum of 5/day. xD

 
My first drink, which wasn't all that great - very sickly sweet and syrupy haha. I stuck to my daiquiris afterwards. xD

Leaving the port. People from their fancy beach homes were waving to us and dancing along to the music haha.

Always live music in the lobby

Fancy elevators

looking towards the back of the ship. Carnival's iconic whale tail. ^^ And yes, there is a movie screen!

DAY AT SEA

Sat in the sun alllll day and got rid of our Minnesota-Eskimo skin. xD 

AMBER COVE

Some of the landscape of the DR - we took a bus to our waterfall excursion and got to see what the rest of the island really looks like in comparison to the tourist area.

buh bye, Amber Cove!

GRAND TURK - OUR FAVORITE STOP

Gorgeous from the moment we got up - my phone alarm went off and we didn't realize until we were up and dressed that it was an hour early. xD So we went out and watched the sun rise over Grand Turk.

That water tho 8D

Our snorkeling excursion was amazing 

Found hammocks near the beach and had to take a picture..

Obligatory docked ship pic

It was soooooo hard to leave this paradise

I literally almost cried

Eating in the dining room at night was so much fun. The waiters would sing and dance for us. And they had a new menu each night for you to try something new. And you could order as many items as you wanted.

HALF MOON CAY

Here we went horseback riding!!

-all of HP leans forward in their seats-

My horse's name was General and he was slow and I didn't care haha.

then we got to go in the water!!

Half Moon Cay had the whitest beach with the softest sand we saw the entire cruise.

Obligatory pic of my brother to prove he was actually along with us haha

Our towel animal that night. :P

NASSAU

The morning before we got off the ship, we went on deck and noticed all the deck chairs were now occupied by hoards of towel animals xD

Nassau!

Some of the fabulous beach homes along the shore

More beautiful water on our way out to Snuba. You heard me, Snuba. 

This was the only island where we saw other ships. The last 3 we had had the entire island to "ourselves". Here, we had (from l-r) A Norwegian cruise line ship, our ship, another Carnival ship - the Liberty, and a Disney cruise line ship.

S

ome people noticed my very tall brother and asked him to join their beach VB game (in the orange). 

Our last night. :( My birthday was a couple days away yet, but my friend told them it was my birthday anyway so I got a cake and sung "Happy Birthday" to haha

ALREADY PLANNING NEXT'S YEAR CRUISE!! WHO'S WITH ME!?! XD

They are sooo addicting. I was going through withdrawal for nearly a week afterwards. You definitely get a high on a cruise lol. 

Love this! Id lime ro go, but i get sea sick, air sick and car sick lol

I do as well haha. But Meclizine works wonders xD

!!! THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! I haven't been on a cruise in years but there's a chance I might go this winter - I think the one we're looking at is on Carnival as well!

Anywho thank you for the refreshing blue water and warm-looking scenery while I am trapped in my 13th floor office staring out the windows at grey clouds and fog all afternoon! TTATT

OMG i wanna go on one now !!!!!!

kid you not this pops on on my screen xDDD

clickyy ------->   haha                                     

omg these are absolutely amazing!!

I wanna go on a cruise sooo badly!!! I think we're all planning on a Diseney cruise at some point in our lives lmao 

we should just all accidentaly meet up and not tell our other halves until we get there 

I second that

Wow! That ocean! I do so want to make it down there one day. Thanks for sharing the pics. :)

Super awesome Pants! That looks awesome!

Disney cruises are soooooo expensive compared to Carnival tho. :( I’m a Carnival junkie now haha and the more I cruise with them, the more perks I get!

Oh hey I'm going on a Carnival cruise in a couple of weeks too! Los Angeles to Mexico and back with my best friend :D I'm excited!

Sig by the amazing {Veradaine!

Ooooo, that's awesome, lluvia!! Take lots of pictures!!

First off I want to say the pictures you took are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!! Nassu has always been like the "Dream Destination" for me for many years but OMG Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay are now added to the must see list!! That's also super cool you got the opportunity to see 4 different Cruise Lines!

I get super sea sick so I have never been on a cruise in my entire life, plus, I'm actually kinda nervous about it. I see so many reports of people getting sick or falling overboard so I'm kinda intimidated to get on a giant boat away from land and possibly be sea sick. One day I may try and conquer this fear!

@Lluvia - That sounds amazing! Have fun!! Please take lots of pictures and post in the Forums of us!!

AHHH What an Awesome Holiday!

@Equ - I get sea sick as well. I take meclizine while on the ship and it works amazing. When you're up on deck it's really not all that noticeable anyway and half the time you're off exploring on the islands. :)

And most people that "fall overboard" are 99.9% of the time very intoxicated. xD It's very hard to just "fall" off the ship. :P

GRAND TURK! I WAS THERE! 
Well, I spoofed there, playing Pokemon Go, but IT STILL COUNTS! 

Btw, double-flavour ice cream is delish! I had a cone of it almot every night when my parents and I went to Malta when I was a teen. Haha!

I haven't been on that ship to all those locations but we have been on one similar and loved it. Definitely want to go on more.
