So in the summer of 2014, my family and I decided to go on a cruise by Carnival, on the massive ship called the "Inspiration." To give you an idea of how big it is, it's 856 feet long, fits 2,056 guests and 920 crew. Anyways, the day of the cruise came and we decided to go early because they were offering lunch before the ship departs to Ensenada, Mexico. So we got arrive at the ship and got to our room. Our room was small but beautiful. We dropped off our luggage and took the elevator to the Lido Deck which was where all the food was. The trip was all-inclusive so everything there was pretty much free with no hassle. The first thing we got was a giant pizza that me and my sister split. I honestly have no clue how I ate that much pizza. Then we got some ice cream (chocolate and vanilla swirl in a cone) and headed out to the pool area. By the way, the pool had salt water that was really cold. Anyways, there was a party by the pool in which loud music was playing. Then they had to cut everything out to do a mandatory safety check which showed us what to do in the case of an emergency, where the vests are, etc. That was honestly super scary.
Then a few days passed and we arrived in Ensenada. When we got off the ship we looked around Ensenada and explored a little bit. I absolutely hated Ensenada but I loved the whole cruise ride, There were little girls probably around 5 or 6 years old selling things called chicklets. I was advised not to buy them but I know the money was not for a good cause. Anyways, there were a lot of people that begged for money and I was just overall very uncomfortable. But my sister bought a backpack to school which was pretty cool, and my mom bought a pancho for my grandfather and he loved it! Anyways, we got back on the ship and headed back towards LA. The next morning after Ensenada Day, my mom said she saw dolphins right outside of the ship that were jumping around and dancing. I wish I was there to see it but at the time, I wasn't awake. That night, my parents were at a party and they were there until midnight. When they came back, my sister and I decided to get pizza and fries at 4 AM. Later on in the morning, the cruise ended and we went back home. It was a very enjoyable cruise and I highly recommend anyone that wants to go on vacation to this one in particular. Hope you enjoyed my blog!
