Justin and I finally went on an adult vacation! We took a 3 night cruise
on the Carnival Imagination to Ensenada, Mexico. We loved every minute
of it!

To make it easier for everyone, I'm going to break down the blog post by days. Yay!
Wednesday's blog post is -------> Here!
Thursday was Embarkation Day!
We stayed at the Quality Inn in Long Beach because they had a reasonable Park and Cruise package. We really didn't feel like paying $17 a day to park at the pier and pay for a hotel. We slept in, ate breakfast at the hotel, and took the shuttle over to the pier. We arrived at the pier around 10:30 because we wanted time to sit and enjoy the view.

| The industrial side of the port! I really liked watching this side! |
We purchased the Faster To The Fun package which allowed us to check in early and more quickly. We started the check in process at 11 and we were given a priority pass that allowed us to get on the ship as soon as it was cleaned. We were able to go through security at 11:30 and we were on the ship by 11:45 and eating lunch!

| They were waiting for lunch too! |
After lunch we were able to get into our room and unpack (thank you faster to the fun!) After we unpacked we explored the ship before all the mass of people came.

We started at the top of the ship at worked our way up down so we became familiar with the ship.
 |
| We found the Mini Golf! |

| Giant chess set. Too bad Justin didn't know how to play :( |
 |
| We found the adult only area and we relaxed :) |
 |
| The ginger needs a giant sun hat! |
 | |
| I did get sea sick, but these amazing bands kept my tummy safe. I still felt a little dizzy but not yucky. |
My boys on the Disneyland trip found a machine like this, except for it had kiddie prizes. The one on the ship at money!
We found a spot at the top of the ship to take off from the port at 5.
After we got far enough away, we found a spot to relax until dinner time. We quickly changed into something more appropriate for the dining room and walked right in. We didn't want to see any shows the night before, so the dining room was empty.

| The breeze really helped me when I got dizzy and sick. |

Can you tell I don't feel 100% The menu for the first dinner  Bread Basket   |
 |
| I wanted a cheese plate for desser |

| And we both had to try the famous melting chocolate cake. Sorry I got too excited before I took a picture. |
After dinner we tried the Taste Bar and they were serving food from the Blue Iguana in SLC.
That night I wanted to do something that Justin has never done... went to a club. I, Debbie Doyle, got Justin to go to a club and dance with me. Sorry I didn't get any pictures; I was having too much fun dancing with Justin.
At 11:00 we headed to the comedy club to watch the comedian there, but I was so sea sick at the time that I went back to the room and went to bed. Too much excitement for one day. We went to bed around 11:30 so we could get ready for our day in Ensenada!
