Awesome story! Glad you and your wife will be enjoying your honeymoon cruise! If you want to meet up with others on board, I'd suggest joining your roll call here on cruisecritic. You can also search social media sites where people start groups for their specific cruises. Best of luck!

Love the deck areas for the kids! Thanks for sharing!

It's funny. I thought the same thing, lol. You'll have to let us know what you think!

Radiance is my least favorite ship out of Long Beach (though we obviously haven't been on Firenze). It's not that it's bad, it's just not my fav. I just feel there are less options overall on that ship. I will say that tendering to Catalina took a long time as it seemed everyone was getting off the ship. The hallways were lined with people. We sail Firenze in October. We're looking forward to checking out a new and different kind of Carnival ship. Not sure any of that helps.

We booked a whale shark excursion in La Paz in January. Long story short, the tour left hours later than planned. The water was extremely rough. Only four people out of 20 went in the water (and immediately came out). Even the captain and first mate put on their life jackets. The tiny boat was slamming against the waves. Time was ticking away and we were nervous about missing the ship. The boat stalled twice on the way in. They dropped us on a beach and said that transportation would be waiting for us. (It wasn't.) We luckily hailed a taxi and made it back to the ship with three minutes to spare. Talk about stress!

So glad you saw whales! Your pics are awesome! I've seen whales in Cabo, but they were never this active. Good for you! Your pics of La Paz gave me PTSD.

Vegetarian spring rolls, fried green tomatoes, stuffed mushrooms.

Awesome! We sail her in October.

I do this, too! Kiss my hand and touch the plane, every single time.

My home bill is less than that a month, lol. I think we'll stick to one device at a time. Don't want the entire family on their computers in our little cabin during our vacation. But I totally understand that this is a need for some and that it could work out for them.

This is 100% true. Have fun!

That's the main reason I'm looking forward to Platinum status this summer.

Was at some point after. Can't remember the exact total.

Yes. We've asked and have received massages at the spa and specialty dining.

Thanks for the heads up. We always bring a mini can, just cause things can get stinky in that small cabin.
