The night before the cruise we went to a posh outdoor pool bar near our hotel. Beautiful candle lights, refreshing ocean breeze and great rum runners according to the gals! The guys met up with us later and then I heard there were quite a few romantic walks on the beach! Very nice.

Back from the U.S.S.R.Our pre-cruise hotel in London was nothing short of fabulous. The hotel was new, beautifully furnished; immaculately clean facility with the nicest hotel staff I’ve ever known. The complementary breakfast was a feast fit for a king. This was a great beginning to our 12-night sailing. Once onboard the new Carnival Splendor we began the first evening with our meet and greet cocktail party. The event was a definite clue as to the rest of the sailing. FUN! FUN! FUN! I did get a shoe thrown at my head during the scavenger hunt, thanks Phil. Hopefully; his actions were just an indication of his enthusiasm. 05Jul
Can you say “Muy Caliente?” (Very Hot?)Our pre-cruise group stayed in the hippest, hottest night spot north of Rio, the South Beach Art Deco District, formed straight out of the 1930’s for the city’s most stylish scene. In South Beach life is celebrated as one big ultra hip 24/7 party with a Technicolor backdrop. Very Euro-cool! Because it was July 4th the energy was extra “electrifying!” We indulged enjoying Mother Natures own fireworks in the sky including thunder and lightening that couldn’t be beat. We stayed at the Essex House where Tommy, one of our cruise guests told us his production company had filmed, “There’s Something About Mary” years before starring Cameron Diaz. |
