Galveston - Family Cruise, Jun 2019!

😊  Woo Hoo!  Going on a Carnival Cruise with Family!  

1st Day! - Boarding

We joined my nephew, 2 nieces & their families for a 6 night Carnival Freedom cruise out of Galveston.  Our first time to be on a family cruise!  Looking forward to it!  We all rendezvoused at the nearby Target & caravan-ed to the Port! 

Dealt with the masses boarding the ship & survived!  We're all wearing matching Tshirts that say 

"Oh Ship - it's a Family Trip!"

Here we are!  Going aboard!!!

Watching for dolphins!  There were 2 shadowing us!

After the mandatory mustard (really muster!) drill, we met on deck 10 to watch the sail off from Galveston.   Such hard work, it's deserving of a little snooze!

 

We invited everyone up to enjoy our wrap around balcony before dinner.

George & I did a little dancing!

After dinner several of us headed to the Red Frog pub & played some games!  Great First Day!!!

2nd Day - at Sea!

Everybody explored & ate & played & got used to the ship.

3rd Day! - Costa Maya, Mexico

Zach swimming with the dolphin

George & I were supposed to go snorkeling, but it was too windy & the excursion was canceled.  Worked out well, because we ended up being able to see Patrick, Julie, Zach, Kelley, Tara, & Maddie swim with the Dolphin!

4th Day! - Belize

The next day George & I went snorkeling with Patrick, Julie, & Zach.  Forgot to take my underwater camera when we went out (duh????), but the private island that is actually a part of the reef was beautiful.  It was still pretty windy, but that just helped with the heat!  

5th Day! - Cozumel

George & I went snorkeling again in Cozumel.  This was a 3 Reef snorkel & we had taken our own equipment.  Decided to buy the photos the tour company took of us - never know when we'll get to do this again!
