My family and I headed to Port Canaveral, Florida in November of 2014 to go on a cruise on the Carnival Sunshine. It was a long drive and I was a little scared of the idea of being on a boat, for 7 days, out at sea for 7 days straight since I had never cruised before. Like, wonder if it wrecks? What happens if we start to sink? Will we get lost? We made a couple food stops and I listened to music and read on the way. When we got there we stayed in the hotel overnight, planning to catch a van in the morning to take us to the ship. We were all really excited, especially me and my cousins because this was our first cruise, and the hotel was amazing.

This took him to the end of the slide and his foot was cut on the vent. The slides were closed for quite a while, as they were disinfecting the water since there was blood in it.

All the kids in the family would even play around and as we walked through the halls, we’d pretend to fall into the walls as the boat leaned that way, but a couple of the times weren’t faked. We got of at Cozumel first, I believe. The whole family went to a beach and played in the clear, blue ocean. The sand there is very different from that at Myrtle Beach, where I normally go. There, it was very light and had lots of shells. Us kids brought goggles and snorkels and we got to see some fish swimming in the water. Me and one of my cousins even swam over some rocks that were in water about five feet deep and we saw some very colorful fish. It was beautiful. We also got off at Costa Maya one day and Isla Roatan, Honduras another. We were supposed to be able to get off at Belize, but the waves were so rough that we couldn’t. At Belize, you have to port a little ways away from the shore, therefore, when you get off you have to ride small tenders to the shore and when you come back, you have to ride them as well. This is why we couldn’t get off because the waves were too rough for the tenders to ride across
