Personal Narrative Essay: The Carnival Cruise Ship

Improved Essays
I woke up so excited that I was literally running and jumping up and down around my house. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning! I woke up my parents and my brother and sister to get ready to leave the house and go to Long Beach to board on a cruise ship! The name of the cruise ship is called The Carnival Cruise Ship. I have been on a cruise ship once and it was so spectacular! We loaded our bags in the car to go and have breakfast. After breakfast, we were on the road to Long Beach. The car ride was about a hour long. When we got to Long Beach my sister and I started playing in the sand. My sister said,” I want to play in the water!”
My mom responded,” No, you can’t because the water is cold and you might get sick.” My sister was sad for the rest of the day because she didn’t go in the water. After I stopped playing in the sand we got in this long line to go into this building that has a bridge to board the cruise ship. It took us about an hour and thirty minutes to get inside the building. When we got in the building we had to get into another really long line to get our room keys and tickets to get on the cruise ship. After we got our room keys and tickets we had to get in another line to get past security. This time, it only

During our wait my brother and I went to go play some mini golf. After that we went back to our room and waited for dinner. When we got to our dinner table the dinner room was decorated with streamers and balloons. When everybody was seated the waiters sang and danced a goodbye song. I was so sad because our waiter was the nicest waiter there. After they finished their goodbye song we ordered our food. I got the same thing as always. The steak was so juicy and the baked potatoes came with sour cream and bacon bits. It tasted so good! After we finished our food we ordered dessert. For dessert we got chocolate cake with cookies and cream ice cream. After dessert we went to our room and fell

    The weather was nasty, and there was a rip current. That is waves curve into each other. They were all swimming together and the current started dragging them under water and further back. Her mom did not know what to do. She was obviously freaking out because her kids on were on the verge of being killed by the ocean. Her parents ran out into the ocean and tried their best to safe the children. The waves started pulling them under as well, It was getting harder and harder to bring them to the shore. All of their feet were getting stuck in the sand and falling like tumbleweed. After getting all beat up and bruised up, the kids got saved from the torture.

    So we continued on in line. The line was so short that it only came to a halt for a couple of minutes at a time, then it would go right back to a slow walking speed. When we got to the front of the line the worker at the attraction told us to go to cart seat 1 and 2. So this meant that my brother and sister got to sit in the very front of the roller coaster car, and my dad and I were right behind them. When we got in, it seemed like no time had passed from when we got in the line, to when we were seated in the ride getting ready for a moment that I would never forget.…

    Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore. I also hate when it rains really hard and the workers have to close the ride down, even though I know it is for safety. A lot of people get nauseous, but I just can’t get enough of them. It might seem crazy to some people, but a little scream every now and then doesn’t hurt anybody. So, are you ready to…

    When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries. All of our possessions were sold off, including my much beloved toys, until everything we had could fit into eight large suitcases. These suitcases are what we carried to the airport as we prepared for our journey. I felt no small amount of apprehension and excitement in what lay ahead of me in the new country, but an event I would experience in the coming flight would forever change and shape my perspective of how I see the…

    Tossing and turning, I could not sleep the night before our cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. Excitement had gotten the best of me. It was the day of the cruise. We all met 5:30am sharp outside of our friend Aaron’s house. All of us carpooled together in Joey’s car and hit the road to Long Beach, California; where it is the home of the Carnival Corporation’s Long Beach Cruise Terminal. When we arrived we can see all the cruise ships that were departing that day. First we went through the terminals, sorted everything and proceeded to the cruise where we would than settle down. As soon as we approached the cruise there were two huge glass doors wide open to enter. As we entered through the main lobby lounge we were all greeted warmly by the crew members. We were so intrigued by the fascinating room. Beautiful red carpet flooring with high ceilings of gold drapes surrounding the room with white marble walls and an alluring gold piano in the center.…

    My cousin Hana (my cousin loves to have fun but she is a little controlling) forced me on the Fireball. When the ride was over I ended up throwing up. Even worse I had also just eaten cotton candy and kettle corn. While we were on the boardwalk something really embarrassing happened I was wearing a white tank-top and skirt and decided to go on a water ride like nine times and to make things worse there were a ton of guys that saw. I was thinking omg how could I be so stupid. So my cousin rushed me to the sauna to dry me off and when that didn’t work I had to ride every windy ride to dry off. Once I was finally dry my mom got me some shaved ice and cocoa to make things better.This also covered for the incident because before we left the boardwalk there was a giant firework show.…
