We have traveled quite extensively for the past few years both in North American and overseas.
However, this was the first time we have gone on a cruise ship holiday. I remember talking to a couple of my good friends who went on to cruise vacations. Upon their return, I asked them about their cruise experience.
 |
| Library - a quiet area for reading on our cruise ship |
For some reason, both gave me a very negative review of their cruise holiday. This was why I never desired to try this type of holiday ourselves for the past three decades.
 |
| The library on Carnival Miracle ship |
One of the reasons given for their negative reviews was the lack of things to do while on board their cruise ships.
 |
| A hang out area for young people |
Fortunately, for us, we have found that there are a lot of things to do on our current cruise ship.
On our last day at sea, we went around the ship and explored other areas that we did not have time to enjoy such as:
1. The Libray
2. The Teens Area
3. The Chapel
4. Mini Golf

| video games area |
A game room in the teens area on our cruise ship.
 |
| Teens hang out area |
A hang out area for teens.
Our boys, when they were teens, would have really enjoped making new friends and hanging out with them here.
 |
| Mini golf on the top deck |
Located on the top deck of our cruise ship - a mini golf playing area.
This mini golf area commands an excellent view of the ocean.
I still remember the fun we had playing mini golf with our boys when we travelled out west!
 |
| A sports bar to watch the games |
For those who enjoy watching sports, a nice sports bar with big TV screens awaits them on the ship.
 |
| Seating area in the sports bar |
 |
| The Casino on our cruise ship |
A quieter area for a drink and watching games.
A casino on board for those who are interested.
Though we have passed by it every evening going into the dining room, we never have time to stop to visit this place.
 |
| A multi faith chapel on our cruise ship |
A multi faith chapel -I did stop there on the first day and said a prayer for the safety of all the crew members and passengers on this ship.
 |
| One of the Dining Rooms for cruise passengers to enjoy their buffets |
My conclusion from our cruise holiday:
Do not always believe what your friends' tell you!
Keep an open mind and find out for yourself.
 |
| Looking out to the ocean from the dining area |
We are different people with different likes, dislikes and interests.
 |
| Gatsby Garden - a nice area for quiet conversations |
When it comes to holidays and taking vacations, what bore your friends to death may not be so bad for you.
Try it at least once and then decide for yourself!

Enjoying our cruise holiday tremendously!
