Personal Narrative: Carnival Cruise

After breakfast I went to my cabin with Z and we got changed into our swimming suits and we went to the swimming pool. It kinda sucked. It was a salt water pool, so when the waves rocked the boat the salt water rolled toward me in a wave and I had the taste of saltwater in my mouth.

Vacation is something many people love and look forward to. The ability to put our daily tasks on hold for a short amount of time in order to clear our minds and reinvigorate ourselves is something that all people need from time to time. In fact, we all seem to have those times in our life were we get a week or two off to have the time of our lives. One particular experience that I had impacted me in two primary ways. This experience was when I took a Royal Caribbean Cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Strangely enough, this experience impacted me in two completely opposite, and nearly paradoxical, ways. Truthfully, what I took away from my Royal Caribbean Cruise would be considered by many to be the opposite of what they would expect.

I`ve been on planes, cars, and many things in my life but I have never been on a cruise, and on this Alaskan Cruise I was able to try new things. In our ship they had swimming pools, ping pong tables, casinos, and a extraordinary ice cream bar. One of my favorite parts of this trip was holding two baby sled dogs that were two weeks old. I also liked kayaking, plus I shared a kayak with my sister, Mia, and I controlled the kayak from the back. After that my family and I went on a bus ride to see caribou, bears, and glaciers. I also went on a hike and float with the Kendal`s (who are my cousins), because there daughter Annie was sleepy. I saw cool trees and fascinating wildlife. I even was allowed to eat berries that tasted like watermelon, but

I thought the water was cold and the salt burned my eyes. Since the salt hurt my eyes we walked to the beach store. They had every thing you would dream of at a beach.We bought some goggles and we also purchased a boogie board. When we got back from the store we thought it was a good time to eat because we were dry. After we ate we went back down to the beach. I put my goggles on and I got my boogie board and I had a blast! I found some really cool shells. After we got some shells we brought them up to our parents. We put them on a towel and when we came back we noticed that some of the shells moved! We all freaked out because we did not know what happened. I watched them for a bit and realized that they were hermit crabs! We returned them to the Gulf and kept swimming. We Went out to dinner at this alligator place. They had real alligators outside the restaurant! We went inside and ate. I had some chicken with fries. We got a appetiser that had the alligator. I really wanted to try it and see what it taste like. I took a bite and liked it! I took a bite of my chicken and I could not taste a difference. After that we went mini golfing. I came in second and my Grandma came in first. She golfs on like a real

One day my family went out o a really big boat to go to a snorkeling location by Puerto Rico. Fisherman where not aloud to go fishing where we where snorkeling. While we were snorkeling my dad stepped on a sea urchin, it was so not pretty. After snorkeling we went to get ice cream. It wasn't ordinary ice cream it was hand made ice cream! I had a monster cookie waffle cone. It was so delicious I could die. The next day my family went surfing. It was hard at the beginning because all the waves would nock you right off

When I was in Kindergarten we went to Disney World for the first time. It was our last day, and since my brother was still in a stroller, we went to mostly shows. The only problem with that is trying to leave the show can be difficult because there are so many people trying to leave the same theatre at once. We were at Animal Kingdom and had been there all day. Our family friends were with us, there were 5 of them in there family. It was an especially crowded day, everything we did we had to wait in line for, usually over an hour. Waiting in line was boring, and made me want to run around even more than I normally did when I was 5.

We went on a trip to florida for spring break of 2016 and we went to disney world when we were down there. We stayed for 7 days and we had so much fun because we went magic kingdom, animal kingdom and hollywood studios also epcot to. Today was are last day in florida and we planned nothing to do so we could sit back and relax because we are leaving tonight at 8:00 . Today we are gonna just go eat breakfast and then maybe go swimming and hang out. We have to go to a time chair place because they give some tickets for disney world.

During Christmas break my family and I went to Disney World in Florida. It was my first time on a plane and my first time going to Disney World. After a horrible hour long flight to Chicago with my three younger siblings, my parents began to get a little annoyed. So my mom decided to tell us stories about her grandparents. After the layover in Chicago, and the two hour flight to Orlando, we were finally in our hotel room. After a long night with no sleep because of all of our excitement, we got ready and got on our bus on our way to Hollywood Studios, one of the parks in Disney World. While we were on the long bus ride, I became bored. Then I remembered when we were talking about my great grandparents the other day so I asked my mom if she

This is my story of my trip to Disney world. I stayed at Coronado springs and It had a pool. We just got there after Nine hours. Then, we unpacked and went to our room. We Rested and watched T.V. Then we went to the pool. After that We went to the room and went to sleep. The Next day, we got Up early and went to Animal kingdom. We went on many rides Then went to lunch. After that we went to the room and cooled off. Then, we went to go see my older cousin.I was excited to See him because I have not seen him in 5 or six years. We went to dinner to a seafood place. After that, we went to the pool. We came back to our room and took a shower then went to bed. The next day, we got up and went to a place in Disney world and ate breakfast. Then, after that I went to Magic kingdom.

If I could vacation anywhere in the world, it would be Florida. I would vacation here because it is nice and there is family. If I went to Florida, I would do the following things: fishing, boating, and see family.

We went canoeing for a little while. Nicole and I were in the same canoe. My other cousin, Natalie and Mike were on the same team. We had a race to see who can get from one side of the lake to the other. Nicole and I were winning until they tipped our canoe over. We fell into the ice cold water and could not get back onto the canoe without falling again. We got out of the lake and our shoes were all covered in seaweed and other unpleasant things. Later, we went white water rafting. This was my personal favorite event out of my entire trip. My cousin Nicole and I sat in the front of the raft. These two seats were the ones that obtained the most splash. During the one to two hour of rafting, we were attacked by giant waves. Every few minutes, we would be bulldozed with the freezing water. It was so intense because there were many small waterfalls. We almost fell off the raft!! By the end of our adventure, we were soaked. This event drained all our energy out. We went to our hotel and ate at an Italian restaurant. Our hotel had five king size beds, perfect because all of us got one. We slept like pigs throughout the whole

WHOOSH !!, went the roller coaster the wind brushed passed my face and pushed my hair back I smiled with a very big grin I was at six flags for the first time. A week before my best friend maya called me and asked me if I would like to come to six flags with her I screamed YES OF COURSE I WANT TO GO WITH YOU, well i was a little nervous because I had never been on a roller coaster or to an amusement park ever. I was so excited my heart was racing I was so ready to go that, night when I went to bed i couldn't fall asleep because I was so happy I kept thinking about all of the rides and games i was very excited. Finally the day came may, 4 2015 I woke up and was jumping around i got into the shower came out and made my breakfast it was 9:30 we were going to go at 10:30 I ate my food very fast and went to go watch some tv every 5 minutes I was checking my phone to get that one exciting text “We are here to pick you up”.

school to buy another one. How many suites are you taking Jonny?” my best friend Jessica asked. She always has put some importance on her looks ever since we were little kids; she’s always been a little shallow. “Jonny, Jonny … are you listening to me?” Jessica said annoyed.

Like it was yesterday I remember my first vacation on a cruise. My Dad and I went on a three- day long cruise to The Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise, so it was a new experience for me. We needed to be in Tampa for our departure, so we drove the two hours from Orlando, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My Dad and I used this time to talk, make plans for the trip and think about our upcoming adventures on the cruise.

The focus of my I-Search paper is Caribbean cruises, and I chose to write my paper on this topic because of some very exhilarating news my mom told me on a Saturday at around midday. I walked upstairs to find my mom sitting at our dining room table with a pile of money next to her as she was filling out a chart. With a confused look on my face, I asked her what she was doing. She replied, “I’m creating a plan so it will be easier for us to save money for a much-needed vacation.” Still puzzled, I asked, “What vacation are we taking?” With a great deal of excitement, she replied, “A Caribbean cruise!” Her enthusiasm transported to me as my mind began to fill with ideas of everything I would get to do on a cruise and what to expect. But then I came to the realization that I had no idea what to anticipate. I have never been on a cruise before and had no idea what it was like, so I decided that it would be beneficial to research the getaway vacation we are preparing to take next April.
