Do you know what today (11/26) is?

It's our anniversary! And we are ready to celebrate on a newer ship, Carnival's Mardi Gras. Vaughn has been wanting to go on it since it came out. We saved so much on our insurance ($2400 a year) Vaughn said, that's enough for us to go on a cruise. So I booked it! And here we are, celebrating our 19th anniversary on a cruise ship. The ship is nice so far. Hubby had a couple of surprises when we walked into the room but they were out of one of them but the other one 2 beautiful wine glasses with Carnival etched on them.

Mardi gras has some friendly people and all the staff I have been in contact with has been very nice and accommodating. 

Things on the ship are different now. The last time I went on a cruise, everyone had to go to the muster station together. Now, you go when you first get on-board, you go to your muster station and they check you in with an iPad. You watch a brief demonstration on how to put on the life vest and you are done. It is so much better and efficient than before. After that, it was time to explore the ship. We went to several different decks to get a feel for what complimentary dining was available as well as other options that cost additional money. 

We first tried the food at the marketplace. Then I had some ice cream and had to try their delicious pizza. It did not disappoint. Hubby tried Shaq's Big Chicken restaurant and said it was good. We have more adventures tomorrow so stay tuned!
