Actually we will save this title for the next chapter, and actually call this one Home Sweet Home!
We wanted to drop off our sweatshirts and the carry-on bag. Sooo we took a walk down to deck 7, they were still cleaning up. But we saw a room steward and asked him if we could just drop our bag into the closet. He said no prob, its almost ready anyhow. So hubby put it in and off we went to get lunch.
Once the boys found were Guys Burgers was, that's what was decided for lunch. Actually that was decided when we booked the cruise and I told them about it, they just needed to find it now. 2 piggys, 1 ringer, and a plain Jane were had. It was all delish and we knew that meant good things to come the rest of the week... like weight gain LOL. (food porn pics to come thru the week, the 1st day is always over whelming
After taking a tour of the lido buffet and just browsing as we all were stuffed, we noticed it was 1pm and we could OFFICIALLY get into our room. Which was perfect as a few needed to go potty .. in peace LOL. So back to deck 7 we went.
Speaking of booking, in July of 2014 when I booked this cabin/cruise was $4674 and our travel agent gave us $350 onboard credit. But as we got closer to the cruise it went down down down.. in the end it was $3170. Since we had already paid $4000 of it off, that different ended up going on to our onboard credit. Words for us either way it gets spent. But since the cost of the cruise went down our onboard credit did also.. only $150. Still "FINE BY ME" (another Friends quote... the one where Rachel breaks up with Ross... again)
Bed can be put together or seperate to make 2 twin beds. I almost wanted to seperate them at times and reinact The I love Lucy Show... especially when hubby takes up my side and steals the covers.
Take a good look at this clean desk area... like at home, in a matter of a few moments... days its full of clutter. I dont know how we do it. LOL.
Still plenty of room yet I wish they had more drawers where the vanity seat area is.. maybe thats just the hoarder in me talking.
The sofa flops down to make a twin bed, then right over it they pull down the twin bunk. Take note, last time you will see the sofa lol.
or the ceiling for that matter LOL.
The only thing I wish they would do in all cabins is the split bath. I know Disney has them, and on Carnival Breeze the Ocean View rooms have them. But it would be nice in a 4 person or more room if they had the split bath. We make it work though.
Oh and a real shower... I can only take so much of the shower curtain sticking to my booty LOL
My safe haven... well for now P's haven.
When we initally booked we were on deck 6, but as I watched the price drops and special offers, they eventually offered an upgrade to deck 7 for free so I nabbed it. Thought it would be better to put a little space between us and the Promenade deck.
Obligatory luggage mat pic.
I cant remember if J picked this up while we were out and about or if it was in our room already... either way, we never went to the orientation. But not a prob, I had pre-registered the boys and they got the sticker on their Sign and Sail Card stating they were in their respective clubs.
Upon entering our room, there were 3 bottles of water for us as returning Carnival Members... all for the boys. Soo lets recap. We have been on 1 prior 8day cruise all 4 of us. On this cruise, I get a gold card, they get a red card. They get the water with letters address to them, I get NADA. WTF?
Playlist show schedule was in our room, I'll let you know now we dont go to the shows. Sorry, I think they suck.... guess thats what happens when your 1st cruise is Disney and they set the bar HIGH!


I had put the door decor in my carry on and took a quick moment to do up our door. Nothing fancy. I had planned something else but it was last minute and I decided not to do it... but I will for sure on our next one. This was just a collage pic of the 4 of us,
Our cruise group was over 200+ people (not counting their family and friends) and a tshirt was designed along with a hashtag for everyone to post their pics to all the social media sites. (the hashtag was on the back of the shirt along with everyones names under the state they are from)
Then I made us a Cruise Bucket List.... wonder how many we will cross off??? Wait and see!!
I made a photo challenge, Im sure you all have seen them on Instagram, well this was like those monthly type challenges. Sadly.. I only did like 3 lol. I kept forgetting to post them.... actually can I blame it on the alcohol. lol
