Carnival Cruise Was Needed Break
By Tevin Dix
I went on a weekly long cruise know as Carnival Cruise Celebration. The cruise started out in Miami. During the week we stopped at Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao aka the ABC islands.
The first stop was at Aruba. I spend the entire day at the beach with my family. The next day we stopped at Bonaire and I participated in an off-roading dune buggy tour. It was so fun driving through puddles of mud, dirt and rock. Everybody was going so fast that we created a little sandstorm I felt like I was in Mad Max. The next day we stopped at another island called Curacao where I went underwater helmet diving. I went 30 feet into the ocean with a helmet. I had a tube connected to my helmet for me to breathe. As I was underwater I was surrounded by an army of fish. This was a great experience.
There was a lot to do and plenty of great food on the trip. My favorite things were the arcade and Guy Fieri’s Burger joint. I loved waking up to an ocean view. Dinner service was great. I liked that employee’s entertained us every night with a song. One night my family and I went to this Chinese & Mexican restaurant and the food was phenomenal.
This was my sixth time on Carnival cruise. I remember my parents taking my siblings and I on a cruise for the first time in 2004. The last time I was on a cruise was back in 2015 and the ship was out in New Orleans. I remember experiencing Bourbon Street the night before going on the ship.
In the end, I had a great time. I don’t plan on cruising for a while, but there’s so many places in the world I would like to visit.
