Ready to go!
Reunited with her Nicolas...
A special surprise waiting in the stateroom for our graduate...
Checking out the arcade...
And an ice cold daiquiri while we departed.
On stage with the comedy club's hysterical comedian...
Pictures during our first dinner in the Dining Room...
With dancing too!
Pictures...
Pictures...
And more pictures!
Daddy and his girl loved swimming on board the ship...
And had even more fun playing in the splash zone.
(Throw in a mommy who is forever grateful her husband does all the swimming!)
Afternoon naps.
Because vacation.
And late nights.
Snorkeling...
And Beanbag Toss Tournaments.
Winning!
A day spent at Carnival's beautiful, private island, Half Moon Cay...
And back to find sweet touches waiting for our girl...
Fancy dinners meant getting dressed up...
And taking pictures with a wait staff that quickly became like family...
Alan, who always served with a smile and kind, inspiring words...
And who can really dance...
John, who made sure my little girl had a plastic cup of milk with a straw every single night.
And who has the biggest heart ever...
And Sanjib, who brought Flynn her chicken with fresh broccoli every night without fail.
And who always made us laugh.
The table artist kept us guessing too.
Selfies...
And pictures with Mom...
Watching the ocean go by in the evening...
And in the early morning too.
Did I mention the food???
We loved spending time together...
Away from it all...
With nothing but time and food and drinks and conversation.
And an 80's Dance Party.
With an awesome fluorescent t-shirt that a certain mom got for participating in a competition.
Enough said.
Except that it involved a big screen and Michael Jackson music.
It was hard to say goodbye.
But maybe it isn't goodbye forever.
Maybe it is goodbye. For now.
A cruise is a wonderful way to relax with your people.
To spend time together.
Without technology.
Without anything.
Just you.
Together.
Making memories that will last a lifetime.
