Mike & Tracy’s continuing adventures: Carnival Pride review (photos, funtimes & more)

[Captain Canuck]

you hope you were the bald guy getting all the kisses

[momof1lilguy]

 

I love this photo of you two. You can just see the love in Tracy's face. Hope that this six months truly flies by for you both and she'll be back in your arms before too long

[Captain Canuck]

you are 100% right about that photo...only reason i was comfortable teasing mike about tracy smooching the head of some other bald guy

[MikeyA53]

LOVE you quest pictures!!!! We have been on 5 cruises now and have not made it to one of them! :(

I am not a night person! Really, next cruise we take I will make sure to take a nap that day! :p

 

We ALSO had the same problem on our last cruise, to windy to port! :( Such a bummer when you are looking forward to getting on land for a bit! This happened to us trying to get to Grand Turk! We were suppose to rent golf carts for the day! You just have no choice but to make the best of it! :)

 

You have the BEST reviews!!!! :D

 

 

Thanks AngelKappie. I don't think that every cruise has Carnival Quest but if it does it's a lot of fun. :D

[MikeyA53]

Looks like you all were riding some decent sized swells...

 

I always find that the 2-3pm time frame is a great time to get to the gym, since everyone else is usually by the pools or in port....

 

Great sunset pics too, btw.....

 

 

Thanks MiamiSpartan.

I'm in love with your reviews! I JUST finished reading your 4 cruise review and really enjoy the way you write these! You have a lovely family and I pray Tracy's training goes by super fast so you guys can cruise again! (and of course so she is home with you) :)

 

 

Thank you momof1lilguy, appreciate it. :)

[MikeyA53]

I am once again inspired by you and Tracy! We have been more "observers" in the past on cruises.....still have alot of fun, but not so much what you would call "participators." My cousin and I have already decided we are going to be "those people" on the next cruise and really try to participate in EVERYTHING! Seeing your pics just inspired me even more! Can't wait!

 

 

 

That's great whendoweleave, like the old saying goes "try it, you might like it" :D

Thanks for taking us on another fun filled day. Must have been that cheese cake that refueled your batteries. I am exhausted just reading about all that you did! Good for you! Not to put a damper on this, but this is a pet peeve of mine in the shows: you get there early to get a good seat at the front, then people wander in RIGHT before the show start and pull up chairs and sit smack in front of you. I can see evidence of this in some of your pictures. Ah, well, such is life, right? Can't wait to read about your sea day. ;)

I love the hanging towel animal, really cute.

 

Still enjoying your review.

Saturday, Jan 8th, 2011: Sea day

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, it was our last full day. We all slept in, Mitchel a bit longer than Mum and Dad.

 

 

 

 

Tracy and I went for lunch in the Mermaid Grill. Every day except the first day they have a main theme for lunch, ‘Mediterranean, South West, Caribbean, French, Mexican and today American, but you can still get Chinese, deli sandwiches, pizza, etc. every day.

Hi Mike - Great review so far.. :) I was wondering what those pink cubes were in one of the dessert buffet photos ??

 

I tried cropping it so you can see what I am referring to...

 

Thanks - Kelly
