I have been slow to post since before I left for my cruise. I need to catch you up on our cruise. It was awesome. The ship was nothing fancy and the food was just alright. Now I am used to great food since my wife is such a fantastic cook. We got some pretty decent pics that I will start posting soon.

The Carnival Elation is by no means fancy. For the price it is a good deal. So if you like quantity over quality this may be the ship for you.

We sailed out of Port Canaveral, then woke up at Nassau, Bahamas, the following day we woke up to Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. The third day we arrived at Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos. This was my favorite stop followed by Nassau. I was not impressed with the day at Half Moon Cay, but my wife was a tad sick, and I prefer people over private and this is a private Island owned by Carnival.

The final day of our trip was at sea on the way back to Port Canaveral. What a great short trip it was. It was great because we went with friends.

For my first cruise this was a success and I will be looking to go on more.
