#40 Go on a cruise

One thing I checked off my bucket list while I was on my honeymoon...

Go on a cruise! I was a little worried going on a cruise because I haven't really talked to anyone that has actually gone on one, but my husband assured me that it was going to be a good time so I trusted him. I am really glad I did!

We went aboard the Carnival Splendor ( http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/ships/carnival_splendor/default.aspx?shipCode=SL )

It had a lot of fun things to do on board.


I did this random competition that was going on the second day on the boat where we had to do some random activities, like pour the pool water in the bucket. Our team won but for some reason the judge seemed pretty bias and shut us down. Anthony took part of a contest too, he was in the hairy chest contest!


He didn't win but he was one of the last men standing! They made him bark like a dog which was a little odd. There was also live band karaoke.
And mini-golf.

On this boat they also had a piano bar where we spent a few of our nights at.
The piano guy was pretty legit. One of the first nights we were there I requested a Jack Johnson song and he didn't know it but he told me to come back on Friday and he would have it. Needless to say, we went back on Friday and he sang and played it like a champ. Was a little disappointed that he didn't know "Peaches" but really, who really does know that song anyways?

We had a great time. This picture from the plane ride home explains it all...



Zonked!

#80 Go on an amazing honeymoon and check some things off my bucket list!




After our wedding Anthony and I flew into L.A. and went aboard the Carnival Splendor. Hooray for cruises! This was probably one of the best ideas for a honeymoon. The best part of the cruise was that I could eat whatever I wanted to and everything was free! Well, everything was included in the price of your cabin.






The service we got on the Carnival Splendor was really awesome too! We had great waiters at our diner table and even our housekeeping was amazing. Our housing guy guy, Gadat was awesome, he knew our names and every time we walked out of our cabin he was always like..."Hello Mr. and Mrs. Laccetti! Have a good cruise day!" or something along those lines. And the best part of housekeeping?






I love those little guys. The housekeeping team would sneak them into our cabin during our dinner hours. They actually cleaned our room twice a day. They were pretty amazing. We were scheduled originally for three different ports, Cabo, Porta Vallarta, and Mazatlan. Unfortunately, all stops to Mazatlan have been banned from the Carnival family because of violence in port. They told us months before that port was cancelled so it wasn't a shocker when we got on the boat. Then, a hurricane was supposed to hit Porta Vallarta and Carnival cancelled that port too. So we ended up staying in Cabo for two says and going to La Paz.



The cruise was a lot of fun, we got to do and see a lot of things and I think I may have checked some more things off my bucket list!
