Mojo:
Hey there Smitty... Sleeping in isn't allowed the day of the cruise my friend... lol.. No, I know that you are too happy. Get you some breakfast, and perhaps some expresso to put some pep in your step... lol
We don't actually cruise until tomorrow, Mo. We'll head to the hotel by the airport this afternoon to spend the night. When we have these 6:00 A.M. flights (most flights from Pgh to cruise ports in the South start with a 6:00 A.M. flight to Atlanta to catch a connecting flight), we don't like getting up at 3:00 A.M. at home and driving the 75 miles to the airport. You never know when you'll have car trouble or run into a road that's closed because of an accident.
Our biggest worry now is that the private shuttle gets us from Pensacola Airport to the Port of Mobile safely and on time. There are no Carnival Shuttles from Pensacola to Mobile, so we booked a private shuttle.
We love you Kalyn Padget and Rosie Unsworth (our lovely adopted daughters), Amy Barton, Melanie Therrien, TJ, and Rick! The Fun Crew puts the fun in Carnival Cruising! Thank you Butch for being a fantastic CD!
I've only been off the Holiday for a short time, and I'm already having fits of melancholy. I guess unless we can cruise every two months, I'll probably never be satisfied again.
Our 7 YO and 6 YO grandsons decided that they would prefer a Thanksgiving Cruise to Key West and Cozumel on the Destiny to Thanksgiving in Orlando/Kissimmee this November. We must be teaching them well. Thanks for an excuse for my booking another cruise, guys!

We went on two Norwegian Cruise Line Tramp Steamer Cruises - Thank goodness we were too busy on our honeymoon in 1978 to realize how crummy the cruise actually was - Then they ruined our 2007 Hawaii Cruise that was my retirement gift from my wife - Two chances is enough! - Never again!
Our current future dream cruise is 15 days back-to-back on the Freedom / 8-day Eastern (Fort Lauderdale) and the Valor / 7-day Western (Port of Miami) with a 45 minute private shuttle ride in between the two Fun Ships.
