Last December, my family decided to go on a western caribbean cruise. “This boat is massive”. That was my first thought when I saw our cruise ship that we were going be on for an entire week. We got on the boat at about twelve o’clock after staying the night in very hot Miami, Florida. Our ship was the Glory from the cruise line, Carnival. The islands that we went to was Grand Cayman, Mahogany Bay, Belize, and Cozumel, Mexico. We left on December 18 and were not going to get back until Christmas day. This has shaped me into the person I am today because it showed me how lucky I am to be able to do things like going on cruises. The cruise also made me not as scared of big boats and the ocean. I was scared of our boat sinking and being eaten by a shark.

It took a whole long hour to get through security and get checked in. We finally got onto the boat and could do anything we wanted for about two hours. We explored the humongous boat to see what it had to offer and it did not disappoint. It had things like soft serve ice cream, burgers, tacos, and pizza all about one hundred feet away from each other and the best part was it was all free! I obviously had to try the ice cream as soon as I saw it. We watched as the boat left the port. Soon after, the …show more content…

It was a little bit different because the ocean was not deep enough to dock our ship at the island. Workers for the cruise line had boats that would fit two hundred people and they would use them to transport the passengers to the island. It was about a fifteen minute boat ride to the shore. We had planned to do cave tubing as an excursion but it had rained so much that the water in the caves was too high so it was unsafe. They cancelled all of the different cave tubing excursions so we booked a last minute bus tour of the top ten sights around Belize. The tour showed us things like monuments, a museum, and the first church in Belize. As the natives call it, Belize was

  • Cancun Narrative

    472 Words  | 1 Pages

    I have never waited so long in my life, it took and hour and a half just to get three bags out to where the pickup was. We finally got our bags and took a shuttle to the Crown Paradise Hotel. This Hotel was so nice. It had a mini golf course, three pools(1 inside,2 outside), A basketball court, a movie theatre, etc. My hotel room was also super nice there were too connecting rooms so finally for once I got my own bed. The first day I did the most common and went to the beach. The sand was super hot and I’m not too fond of salt water, it just makes swimming in the ocean ten times worse. Then at night I played ping pong and pool against my dad. Then the rest of the week I would go swim in the outside pool or play futsal(soccer on pavement). I always came back with at least one blister on my foot. The worst thing about this trip was the sunburn, in cancun it's way hotter and it's so easy too get burned. This also made it hard because, since the water is so bad whenever I wanted water I would have to walk all the way to the elevator and then all the way down this long hallway to the gift shop and would buy a water bottle then go all the way back to my room. The food although was super good besides there breakfast and ketchup. The last day was the hardest it took so long trying to get on the plane and the car ride was so boring. But that’s my favorite

    Twenty years ago, the cruise industry was in the midst of a major growth spurt. With everyone focused on the arrival of the first 100,000 gross ton ship and the coming era of the mega cruise ship, the acquisition of four Russian riverboats by a small group of investors led by industry-veteran Torstein Hagen largely went unnoticed. Despite river cruising’s long heritage, few in the industry could envision the potential to transform the niche market into the industry’s fastest growing segment. In August 1997, having spent $8 million to acquire four boats, Viking River Cruises was established in Leningrad.
