Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 20, 2018 Author #129 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Sea days, Some hate, some like em, I love em. Of course there are ports that I love, especially new ones (this cruise had one, Amber Cove was a first for us). When the every day world sucks you in (my old life, not so much anymore) these days were special to us. To be able to relax, enjoy the Havana area, sneak back at times for food an return. We wanted to make the absolute most of the Havana experience, and we did, We got to know to know the bar people (Israel and Casandra) in the area really well (and I do mean really well). We were out there from the crack of dawn till dinner and sometimes at night. Because these days were more or less mirror images, I am talking about them in one place here and with pics.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 20, 2018 Author #132 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We got to friends with our neighbors. It was amazing how easy that was. Morning and evenings, at the pool, at the Alchemy bar all over, much more so than other people near our rooms on other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 20, 2018 Author #133 Share Posted July 20, 2018 But unlike most in our group,we had family in other parts of the ship. It was as important to us to spend time with them. Here are some pics of doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiegreen56 Posted July 20, 2018 #137 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Next up first formal night and the ship singing the Star Spangled Banner (A first for us....) One of my biggest gripes about Carnival is that they seem to have the fewest international passengers yet don’t do as many patriotic themed activities or entertainment as the other lines. Despite what the media is telling us, there’s been so much patriotism lately and I’m glad CCL is jumping on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafedumonde Posted July 20, 2018 #138 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I will hop on my soapbox (but for only a second), I was mentioning to one of my grand kids something about the Freedom tower. They asked me why it was called that and I then explained about the Word Trade Center and the cowards that attached our wonderful country. A family near us was obviously not happy with what I was saying and said "17 years, let it go" I told him what I thought about his comments as he hustled his family away. Did not see him the rest of the cruise. We haven't forgotten either. And we have told our kids what happened because they are no longer teaching it in our public schools. Haven't shown our 8 year old the videos yet, but our older children have seen them. I used to teach at a local university and was shocked the first time I encountered students who were not aware of the Holocaust. More common than you would believe. Yes, college students in the USA. History is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiegreen56 Posted July 20, 2018 #139 Share Posted July 20, 2018 And we have told our kids what happened because they are no longer teaching it in our public schools.

loveysbydesign Posted July 20, 2018 #142 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Following along, thinking of cruising on the Horizon in March. We've previously only sailed on the Breeze.
