the carnival glory

da glory.
she sure did treat us well.

our 2 "at sea" days were almost as fun as being on an island,
and every night we squeezed every last ounce of fun from da glory that we could.



everyone knows about the cruise dinners, right?
the foreign waiters with accents that tell terrible jokes that you laugh at hysterically.
the menu that is like gambling every night,
because you don't know if what you ordered is going to be amazing or disgusting.
and of course, the chocolate melting cake dessert that you order every night in addition to your "other" dessert.

as expected, da glory was a party ship.

everyone close to our age was in a constant state of drunkness and dance moves,

while we congregated more towards the 50 years and older crowd.

except at night of course, when us girls hit up the dance club and danced the night away

(never mind the fact that half the time we were the only ones in there).

day time consisted of either island hopping or hanging out by the pool on the ship.

every night consisted of date nights, with a few formal nights thrown in.

we went from hot, sweaty, salty, and haggard…

to FABulous!

our group of friends sure does clean up well.

everyone else thought that formal night meant wear your skimpiest outfit.
but we knew better than that.

modest is hottest!




and lets not forget debatably the best part of the cruise.
the soft serve machine.
(although ryan and the boys might argue that it was the burger bar)
i can't even try to count the number of ice cream cones our group consumed.
after breakfast cone… mid-morning snack cone… after lunch cone… second after lunch cone… midnight snack cone…

ice cream cones = happiness.

the boys were obsessed with going to the nightly comedian show.
the girls were obsessed with getting popcorn and going dancing.
we all were obsessed with hanging out on the lido deck together every night.
whether we were playing scum, playing heads up, or just chatting about nothing…
some of the best bonding went on during the night hours on da glory.



and we can't forget to give a shout out to our romanian waiter, alex.
he might have wanted to persuade jill to leave gavin and run away with him,
but we loved him anyway.
thanks alex for being the fastest waiter on the whole ship!

and sadly, so ends the never ending posts about our caribbean cruise.

it was 7 days of pure bliss, and one that we have decided has to become a tradition.

even if it is a once every 5 years tradition and the next one is with our kiddos on the disney cruise.

good bye carnival glory!
