This was my 4th Carnival cruise and I love Carnival for various reasons... some silly... like the nightly "towel animals"...

Speaking of food, between regular meals, snacks, room service and 11 pm french fry runs, these two were in cholesterol heaven!

We ate nightly with another family in the dining room. My favorite night is always the second night when they serve lobster and the warm chocolate melting cake which I ate each night in addition to other favorites that showed up on the menu...

Could my girls have been any luckier with this family pre-selected to sit at our table? Two boys age 19 and 16. Eye candy each evening for Hillary (19) and Hailey (15-1/2)...

so glad you made it back for Christmas. We drove by on Christmas eve to deliver some goodies and your house was dark, so we were worried that you had a flight delay.
Merry Christmas and Welcome home!
I was laughing about the eye candy. . .you forgot to mention that tonight! Ha ha! :)
Sounds like a fabulous trip! You just may have me convinced of a "cruisin" trip! The picture of John on the lounge chair in the white sand ..... that deserves a frame!! Welcome home!
We've taken this cruise on Royal Carribean a few years back. Your pictures reminded me of the beautiful stops. So fun to have your kiddos aboard with you. I love cruising it makes you feel so spoiled and Mom's don't have to lift a finger doing anything. I love it....you all look great!
Fun to see your pictures Alicia! Looks like a blast!!!
