We left Pittsburgh the morning of Monday, May 17th. Our flight left the Pittsburgh airport a 6:05AM. It was definitely an early morning! We arrived in Atlanta, and we had about an hour-and-a-half layover. During this time, we went to the restroom, looked around the little shops, and got something to eat. Thank goodness we didn't have to change concourses in Atlanta. They have little trolleys to each one because it is such a large airport. We boarded our plane, and arrived in Miami at 11:45AM.
When we purchased our trip, we also purchased shuttle passes. Carnival was waiting for us at baggage claim. We collected my one suitcase, and off to the bus we went. We arrived at the boat terminal, and waited forty minutes to check in. The lines were horrendous. Not to mention that everything is automated now, and half of the machines were out-of-order. So much for "speedy check-in."
Above is a picture of our ship, Carnival Destiny. We had an inside cabin on the first floor. It was a cute little room with a lot of storage space, our own bathroom, and a television. We liked to watch the TV in the evenings because there were movie channels that played Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, and some other newly released movies. We definitely had a good selection of food on the ship. We ordered room service for lunch one day, and I became crazy for sushi. I dragged Marc up to the sushi bar every night before dinner.
The ship had various pools, a few hot tubs, and a water slide. There was a put-put course and a basketball court. An outdoor track was also included. We enjoyed the evening shows, stuffed our faces, and tried exotic beverages. It was a great way to spend a lot of time together, and the two of us were very relaxed. It was sad to get up early this morning and go to work...
