My husband was just looking for something special to do and was just looking.&amp;nbsp;and before I knew it we were&amp;nbsp;getting ready for&amp;nbsp;a cruise. I&amp;nbsp;could not believe it, a real cruise. Growing up in New England I did not even consider such a thing possible, and did not really give it any thought after we moved to Florida I did not consider&amp;nbsp;it as&amp;nbsp;it&amp;nbsp;seemed out of reach, but my husband is good at reaching and finding a way, especially if it is for&amp;nbsp;me and his family.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;Once on the ship it was unreal and from the first day we were hooked, everything was perfect, the friendly faces ready to help in any way to the awesome food, with the most wonderful servers on all ships&amp;nbsp;had to be ours! I could not pick just one thing anywhere I am with my husband was perfect, from looking out to sea on deck at the beauty of the open ocean to promenading in our finest at dinner, it was as as a dream come true.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;Since then we have been on a cruise every year, and if we can we will continue this with Carnival. Oh and since then we have also fond John&amp;#39;s blog and that has only added to our cruising fun.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
