Cocoa, FL - Cruise Day 1

Taking a Cruise on the Carnival Venezia with 16 friends from Winngray Campground in NC.




Waiting for the Shuttle to the ship

Boarding begins!


Up through San Marco Plaza


A visit to our dining room The Grand Canal

Our table is on the 2nd floor

A tour of the Lido deck.


And the Sail A Way Party




Our room is ready!

Pat decorated everyone's doors!





A nice sunset!


And it's dinner time!

Our friend Pat got us a table for 18.  Our waitress, Rhea was fantastic.  She's from the Philippines and spends 10 months aboard the ship then gets 2 months to go home and see her 2 year old daughter.  It's such a hard life but she was always smiling and went out of her way to make each night special.  It broke my heart to see people take more food than they could ever eat and leave it, while the staff sacrifices so much to support their families.


As usual Pat went above and beyond to decorate our table


Great food! You can order multiple appetizers, main course and desserts.



Off to a good start!
