Western Caribbean
Our First Cruise!
In honor of our oldest daughter's impending wedding, Michael and I and much of our extended family made a cruise to the Western Caribbean on the Carnival ship Legend in May of 2007.
Dorothy's prospective in-laws, the Kinders, are experienced cruisers and, with them, we chose the Carnival Legend as the vessel of this, the first cruise for most of us, due to a combination of its price, availability, kid-friendly atmosphere, and destinations. In addition to its home port of Tampa (which, oddly, is considered to be part of the "Western Caribbean"), the Legend will be visiting Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Costa Maya—all places I've never been. So I was very excited to be making the trip.
(Tampa I was less excited about, as I have lived there on more than one occasion. Still, it will afford an opportunity to visit some relatives and rest up for the flight to Arizona after getting off the boat. Excuse me, "ship.")
