Cruising with my Nieces

In our family, when one of my nieces or nephews graduates from elementary school, they get a fun weekend with Aunt Pam – this past June, I took two of my nieces on a cruise to the Bahamas.

I found a great deal – paid a little less than $800 for the three of us. It was so cool to see cruising through their eyes – it was the first cruise for both of them and we went on the Carnival Sensation. I chose this cruise not only for price but also for the slides.

The kids were in awe just walking into the Port and going through customs. When they saw the size of the ship, they started jumping up and down and could not wait to get on. We boarded early and had a great buffet lunch and walked all around the ship.

When they spotted the pool that was open they begged to get in – we had no bathing suits, but I told them to go ahead and go in their shorts. The slides (see photo) were one of the best parts of this Carnival cruise.

I had warned them ahead of time about the size of the cabins and one of them was a little worried that she might get “claustrophobia” – we were very pleasantly surprised at the roominess. We had two bunk beds and a single with a huge window.

The best part of the cruise was just being with each other. We had late night talks and early morning walks. I am glad I didn't have them in the Kids Club that is offered, because we spent lots of quality time together. We played ping pong and danced and listened to music together, they even played a round of miniature golf. Other highlights of the cruise were the slide of course, our snorkeling trip and swimming off of a beautiful beach in the Bahamas.
