In May 2008, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with my family and my cousins. It was our annual family reunion and we decided to do something different this year. I remember it like it was yesterday; we woke up at the crack of dawn on a Thursday morning. When we got on the Carnival Paradise, after driving all morning to Florida.

Surprisingly, the mall that is on the cruise ship is quite nice. They had all the top name brand clothes that you could think of, and they weren’t as expensive
