Cruise: Day 5 and 6 Sea Days
at Well we woke up early and had breakfast as we had two days at sea. I'm just going to add both days here as there wasn't a whole lot that went on during this time. Bingo was at 2:30 so we sit around on the deck of the ship and relaxed and I wrote some in my journal and also slept. I slept allot while I was on this trip for some reason. So we went and got our cards that we won from Deal or No Deal the night before so we could play again today. We played some but did not win

Cruise: Day 4
We woke up early this morning to eat some breakfast before we head to Princess Cays. We ate some great food then Jason and I had to go to the front of the ship to get a ticket to board the ferry as Sunshine couldn't get close to the shore. We were zone 26, so once it was called we were able to board the boat and let me say it was really rockin. Before going to shore my cousin missy bought her a couple of hanging water bottle necklaces for $6. Thing 1 sold it to her. Ferry to

Cruise Day 3
I woke up early around 6:38am to watch us pull into Celebration Keys and it was something. I got dressed and went outside to watch us pull in. You could see the big castle that has the water slides in it standing tall. It really wasn't warm but not as cold as what we left back in Norfolk. Celebration Keys is a new place that Carnival opened up in 2025 for their ships to dock and passengers to have a great time. We have heard about the donuts there so that was on our radar to
