Glass Bottom Boat Tour

The boat for the tour

Me and Grannie ( I seriously can't get over my hair situation, how EMBARASSING)

The Tour Guide

This was cool.. but grossed me out at the same time. I can't remember what kind of they were but there were TONS. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the gold one that looks like nemo, and this blue on that looks like dory, and another blue one with spots.

Sorry I really am not good at being a tour guide.... These were some birds just chilling( IDK what kind they are), and the white on the rocks isnt from like snow or being painted, it's all of the birds POOP

Waiting to see them get fed

Once he threw in a ton of food, it was NUTS. All of them were jumping out of the water to get it before it hit the sea, others were jumping into each other, all I know is that there were a lot of fish EVERYWHERE

Our ship again

I had my picture took at the wheel of the glass bottom boat

Catalina Island

Here is a better view of our ship full on. To get to catalina we had to take these smaller boats since our cruise ship was too big to pull up their port.

Mom and Grannie, just getting onto the island

Towel Designs

Puppy Dog

Swan
We also got a monkey, but I must not have taken a picture of it.. and I have to say that one was probably my favorite, although the swan is kind of impressive.

Taking Off Party

Right before we left port they do a big ole' party. There's break dancing, regular dancing, and of course, audience dancing! We did the cha cha from that one guy that sings "now everybody clap your hands" and then we did this "shuffling" dance. It was fun! Melanie and mom went the longest which I was glad for because then I could snap some pictures of them!

"Waving" as we pull out from port.
Left to Right: E, Josh, Lizzy, Jen, Brandon, Jeff

Mom watching and drinking her diet coke, she was the best waver, we even had a police boat guy going around our ship as we left, and she kept waving at him lol

My uncle Scott being goofy and giving quite a bit of exageration on the waving.... especially considering there was nobody to wave at!

Me trying to pull off a "titanic" pose. JK not really LOL

Art

The boat had one deck completely devoted to art paintings and pictures. I didn't get all of them in a shot, but I got the ones I like most lol and It is just a little taste of what there was on that whole deck. The picture above is of the carpet, you probably didn't need to know that or care about it, but I told ya anyways, and the one above that with the ship, is where you take the elevators, there's a different looking one on each deck.

Carnival Paradise Cruise Ship

Back End

Front End

This is in the middle of the top deck of the boat. They do all of their dancing, entertainment, and main swimming here. If you go farther down there is the buffet where you can eat ALL THE TIME. 24 hour pizza and ice cream, and then for the main meals if you aren't down in the dining rooms, feel free to stuff your face FULL. By the time we left the bar tender lady knew my name and what my drink was! She was so stinkin cute and so fun to talk to. Did you know that if you work as a cruise employee you go for about 6-9 months? Crazy, right?

Up on the very top deck they had a running track, more swimming and hot tubs, and this little golf course

This is at the top deck looking down on the inside

A little model of our boat

Birds eye view

This was our cabin where we stayed. Me mom and Melanie all shared this particular one. The main bed was moms, the one in the right hand corner was mine, and if you look right above moms bed you'll see a pull out, mel slept on that but above me. It wasnt as bad as I had pictures... except when you add jeff and kyle wanting to be in our room as well... then you basically couldn't move. Sometimes it was bad if you were sitting on a bed and forgot that the pull down was down, or if you came up to quick you got a nice good bang on your head. Luckily, I was not graced with that experience LOL

Mr President!

Jeff's apparently has always wanted to take the stairs off of a plane and wave at everybody, like a president would do. So, I made sure he got his picture LOL It would be interesting if he did become President one of these days...
