Anniversary Cruise - Ship Pictures

We boarded the Carnival Elation Ship on Saturday afternoon.  We were a bit overwhelmed with it all but just went along.  It was a nice ship but it was somewhat confusing to get around.  Matthew is really good with directions and he still would get confused.  I just stayed confused the whole time!!!

We pulled out of New Orleans on Saturday afternoon and it took hours (like 8!!) to weave our way out of the boot shape of Louisiana and into the big water.  Then we stayed at sea on Sunday so we had a good day and a half on the ship.

We enjoyed exploring and attending some informational meetings on shopping in Cozumel, etc.  And we spent a little time out in the sun.  Here are a few pictures of us on the ship.

We did not have internet access on the ship so I had to turn over my phone to Matthew.  It was harder than I thought!

On top of the ship still docked in New Orleans

Exploring the ship

Man, it was windy on the front!

My handsome husband of 20 years!

Thought the kids would enjoy seeing that there was a mini golf course on top of the ship!

This looked so fun.  I just knew this is where we would be - but it wasn't.  It was packed so we avoided this part - it was definitely the Party section of the ship.  Kids couldn't believe we didn't go on the water slide!

Getting a little sun - interesting way to read with those glasses, babe!

Had to get a big hat...I was on a cruise!

Cute towel art - Kids loved seeing these pictures

We had assigned seats at dinner.  The young couple sitting across from each other at the end of the table - we ate with them every night.  This couple across from us only showed up one night so we got a picture of all of us.  I think he spent a lot of time in the Casino!!!

One night a magician walked around  He was really good and Christine was a hoot with him!!

One night they had dance lessons to learn the dance from Thriller!  I went down there.  It was fun but I was late so I seemed behind the whole time.  But it was fun!

Concentrating hard!

More Towel art!

Frog legs as an appetizer! (Matthew, not me!)

Trying frog legs - he said it didn't taste like chiken!

Best dessert ever - Chocolate Molten cake!

When we arrived back in New Orleans, look what I got!  My phone back!!!
