Imagination Cruise Day 5: Last Day - Booted Off :-(

The Last Breakfast, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

My loverly neice, Kirstie, who didn't get to go on the cruise with us because of school :-(

After leaving the ship, we drove back to my sister's in Lakeland and spent a couple hours, seeing their new house they are buying and went out to eat at the Alehouse.
Then we drove to my Mom's place in Steinhatchee, Florida to spend the night.
The next day, Saturday, we came home :-(

Some miscellaneous photos taken onboard the ship:
*The Blues Bros* lol,

I did it, I went there, I wore the Pink.

On a cruise is the only time we get any family pictures made, so I took the opportunity to have a family Christmas picture done.

Imagination Cruise Day 4: Thanksgiving Day

Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, we had no ports-of-call and spent a nice, leisurely day at sea. John went for breakfast and brought it back to our cabin. After breakfast we napped until noon, then got up and went for lunch.
The talented server created these ice cream Turkey treats,

Then we spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in sunchairs up on deck - me reading my book, of course! Later we watched a lovely sunset at sea.

We dressed then went to catch the Show before dinner. It was a nice production with singing and dancing. (I was just mad they wouldn't let me take any pictures).

Our super terrific Waiter, Robert from the Phillipines,

Thanksgiving dinner; Slowly Roasted Tom Turkey with our Thanksgiving Stuffing, Sweet Potato something, and something else (can't recall),

And for dessert; Spiced Pumpkin and Chocolate Pie,

Thanksgiving Family Dinner,

This Pilgrim was chasing this Turkey around trying to shoot her for dinner, lol.

We didn't notice until later that Ryan wasn't with the group.

Ryan had to have his picture took with the Pilgrim and Turkey special like, lol

Alfred made us a Walrus tonight. Guess there's no Turkey towel animal,

Imagination Cruise Day 3: Cozumel

Panoramic daytime photo of where we were docked at Cozumel. The water was so blue and clear and clean and beautiful.

Beautiful blue water, blue sky,

Cozumel is really neat and clean and colorful.
I messed it up, but I was trying to get a picture of this yellow, yellow building contrasting with the blue, blue sky,

Mom and Kevin with their funny balloon hats, on the taxi ride back to the pier,

The Senor Frogs at the pier was apparently called 1/2 Senor Frogs. It was nice, though, they played good music and had a small beach we were able to wade around in the warm water.

A nighttime panoramic shot of the piers and Coz,

We went back on board the ship for lunch and to relax a bit, then later after dark went back ashore at the pier. Went to Senor Frog's for more margarita and moseyed around the shops a bit.
Some of us *ahem John* got a little toasted, lol,

Alfred made us a froggy friend tonight :-)

Imagination Cruise Day 2: Key West

Jello shots at Fat Tuesday,

Went to Kermit's for Frozen-Chocolate-Covered-Key-Lime-Pie-on-a-Stick. Kermit came out and tried to smash Kevin with a pie in the face. BTW, Ryan was helping Kermit to throw the pie, not trying to save Kevin, lol!

Back on board the ship, John and Hunter played some mini-golf,

John enjoying some of Carnival's famous Warm-Chocolate-Melting-Cake. YUM!

Family portrait, Big hug! lol

Alfred made us a cute Puppy friend tonight,

Imagination Cruise Day 1: Miami Port/Boarding

Embarkation photo they took on our way to boarding the ship:

 
Let's get this party started!

First order of business...BEER!

LOL, not really. First we ate lunch and had to do Muster (practice emergency drill).

Me and Johnny's cabin. Our cabin steward was Alfred.  He had already turned down our bed and made us a cute Lobster towel animal.

The other side of the cabin, showing the door that goes out into the hallway. To the left is a vanity and a closet, to the right is the bathroom.

This was the first cruise Ryan was old enough to be able to go in the casino. Gave him $10.00 to gamble with. He won his money back on the first couple of spins, but then when he lost a little less than $2.00 he decided he didn't like gambling so much anymore. He didn't gamble again until like the last day. I told him to go either win big or lose it all. He won his money back, plus $0.85, and cashed out! LOL, that's Momma's stingy boy.

Imagination Pre-Cruise: Welcome to Florida

We left Sunday to make the drive down to my sister's house in Lakeland, which is about an 8 hour drive from home, to spend the night before making the remaining 3.5 hour drive on to Miami Monday morning.

I like to have us stop at the Florida Welcome Center to take a picture with the sign about once a year, and since it was last Christmas since we were in Florida, with no plans to go again this year, it was time.

I was also able to pick up some brochures for some things to see/do around Key West, and some free maps that helped us find our way around down there.
