Not sure if everyone heard but Melinda and I are Carnival ambassadors which means we get to go on a cruise and talk about it which I am SUPER excited about. Carnival is known as the fun ship and is trying to get the word out that they also cater to family and kids. We are a family with three nutty kids so Carnival and my family is the perfect match.
In two weeks we are leaving for a 7 day Caribbean cruise which leaves out of Port Canaveral Florida and stops in Cozumel, Mexico, Isla Roatan, Belize and Costa Maya, Mexico. I have never been on a cruise and the furthest south I have ever been was Orlando, Florida. I think this is going to be a great experience for the kids and for Melinda and me. This will also be the first time that Shaun and Shae have ever flown which seems exciting and a little scary to me at the same time.
Needless to say the whole family is looking forward to August 21st as that is the day we fly to Florida and set sail on the Carnival Dream. Between now and then there is a lot of work to do like figuring out what to pack and what we are going to need for a 7 day cruise. I have seen so many lists that people have posted on cruise forums in regards to things that should be brought but it is hard because everyone has there own idea of what is important. So far I know we need Advil (mainly for me, LOL), swim suits and suntan lotion. I know we need cloths but need to figure out what cloths and how much cloths. I am sure Melinda already has a solid idea of what to bring but I am stressing but then again I stress about everything. Regardless of what we pack one thing is for sure all five of us are looking forward to cruising on the Carnival Dream!
Have you ever cruised? What do you feel are important items to bring?
