Da Cruise Pictures-Part 1 on the Ship

Five days and four nights of nonstop eating, sleeping, swimming, sliding, and ponytail dancing head bobbing music!

We "set sail" from Mobile, AL on Carnival’s Holiday.  I think it’s the smallest one they have.  Here are some pictures from the Mobile docks:

The marine police munched on pizza from the galley while they waited for us to get under way.

The view of the bow with all the interesting winches, pulleys, and lines.

The view down the stairwell through the hanging sculpture.

Thomas’ favorite place on the ship was the big water slide.

Here he is going down it.  He’s the little dark spot at the bottom of the slide.

Gloria liked the pool ok, but really enjoyed the music of our steel drum player:

There was a little play set next to the kiddie pool.  Gloria loved her "house"

and spent a ridiculous amount of time sliding.

She also enjoyed playing by the pool.  She took many showers

and hopped around like a frog.

Meanwhile, Thomas went trolling for little bits of trash using his trusty swim goggles.

He managed to find numerous pieces of paper which looked to be a shredded twenty dollar bill.

He tried to get Gloria into it,

but she preferred to play chase with him in the pool.

We did so much more, but I am not a shutterbug and prefer dong the action rather than hanging out behind the camera photographing it.

    It sure looks like you had a really good time. I love the pictures of the kids playing. You should hand the camera to Michael once in a while so you get in a picture too.
