image91.jpg  Day 8 of our trip was our last full day on the ship as well as another Fun Ship day at sea.   This day ended up being the worst weather day of the cruise.  It was windy, cool and the rain was falling from time to time.  I think a number of our group took naps, some played cards and others just relaxed.  There was a disembarkation talk in the theatre, I missed it but others from our group attended.  (more…)

The 3 musketeers with buckets of beers! They call it a fun day at sea!  Yes that is what life is all about on the Fun Ship, the Carnival Glory. We can attest to that statement.  Not that we did all that much but a number of us just laid around on the Lido deck absorbing the sunshine.  Well there was more than the sunshine absorbed, quite a few buckets of beer, bloody marys and fun ship drinks as well.  (more…)
