Narrative Essay On A Cruise Ship

Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… There were two immaculate auditoriums, one on each end. Each had a performance of some sort every night. The casino was in the middle of the deck, and since Kristi and I were both under 18, we had to sprint through with our heads down to keep from being questioned by the guards. On the opposite side of the casino there was an internet café, a photo gallery and a souvenir store. This place was just getting better and better.

The sixth deck consisted of even more rooms and a jogging track. Holy crap, I thought, this boat has everything. Once we got up to Deck 7 and 8, we came across the most luxurious rooms yet, they had bars and couches and beds that actually looked comfortable. Of course, these would be the decks that also held the lifeboats. First class always gets the easiest access. It was pretty frightening though, walking around looking at those little boats that hopefully wouldn't be used on this trip.

They made an announcement telling the passengers that the ship would be leaving the dock in 15 minutes. We hurried along up to Deck 9 and saw two hot tubs and two fairly large pools, one on either side of the hot tubs. There was a huge sun deck, a fully stocked

I found my dad (amazingly) and we watched the engines start up, with water whirling everywhere below the surface. I ran to the front of the boat to look down into the water and I kept noticing all these little white puffs everywhere.

As we were watching, these poofy little balls kept appearing out of nowhere, there must have been hundreds. Finally, a really big one floated its way into our line of vision and from the eighth deck we were able to see what they were. Jellyfish! Cute little iridescent balls of

    Any Lagoon 400 Catamaran Review will inevitably focus on the comfort and luxuriousness of the sailing vessel. This focus is entirely warranted as the 400 was specifically designed for sailors looking for a home out on the water. It's not much of a vacation if the boat is too cramped or passengers are falling over each other, but at the same time, the 400 invites social activity and conversation, almost creating the illusion that the entire vessel is a floating family rec room. Accommodations: The 400's purpose is to provide passengers with an easy, anti-stress environment.…

    I hope you had a relaxing summer. This summer I read The Boys in the Boat, and I enjoyed the author’s details about the lives of people in both America and Germany in the 1930’s. As I was reading, I thought of your U.S. History class and how Daniel James Brown’s descriptions of how Adolf Hitler had more help in realizing his dreams of perfecting the Aryan race than many thought as well as how bad the Great Depression really was and how it affected the war related to our classes discussions about World War II. Throughout the novel, Brown explained that Adolf Hitler had people by his side to help influence his decisions.…

    I was smiling the whole time as the skin around my neck was being ripped off. Well I wasn’t actually smiling and as brutal as I made it sound, it wasn’t as horrific an event now that I look back on it. The incident occurred while I was on Spring Break during my freshman year in high school. My family and I were vacationing in Gatlinburg, Tennessee;which if I might add we’ve been there about eight times since I was seven years old. I remember clearly that day down to the exact temperature.…

    It was a Tuesday, on September 22nd, 2015, I claimed my seat by the window of a Southwest plane, and leaned down to shove my large purple bag below my seat. I had put my headphones over my ears to escape the noises of the world around me. I turned my head to my dad and brother Taylor, they were adjusting to get comfortable, and then I rotated the opposite way to stare out the tiny window. It was a sunny afternoon, I was already thrilled to get out of high school, and to go to Florida was even better! I haven’t been to Florida in over 7 years and before that my family used to go every year.…

    The purpose of a mission trip is not to save everyone or solve hunger. Many people who take mission trip have this mentality, and I 'm not going to lie, my first mission trip this is what I expected.

    It was the summer of 2007, and my parents thought that it would be a brilliant idea to go on a family road trip to some unknown location. This was the summer before I started high school and I wasn’t in the family bonding mood for a day let alone two weeks. With me being an only child, grandchild, and great grandchild, I was the only kid with five adults in a minivan. Why my parents thought that this was a good idea is still beyond my imagination.…
