Carnival Magic 3/23/14 Delayed Oil Spill Cruise Photo Review


Recommended Posts

This will be my Carnival Magic Photo Review from the late oil spill cruise. Enjoy!

 

 

Day 1 - Sunday

 

We all woke up this morning ready to have a great cruise when I checked my phone and saw that there was an oil spill and the Port of Galveston was closed. We were told that we would probably be able to board sometime today, so we went down to the hotel lobby and had breakfast. Afterwards, we checked out and drove down to check out the port. It was only around 9 in the morning then. We saw the port and hung around in Galveston for hours and hours.

This is the end of this part of the review. I'll try to have the Monday portion of this review posted by tomorrow.

Day 2 - Monday

 

We woke up around 5:30 in the morning in the hotel. We got ready and went to eat breakfast. Afterwards, we headed to the port, parked, and went to the priority boarding line because we purchased FTTF. It was worth the $50 because the line was so long.

We boarded and went to our room. We had a balcony on Deck 9. It was around 9 AM. We sat on the balcony waiting to leave. At around noon, we still hadn't left so we went to lunch on Lido. Around then, it was announced that we had to have the hull of the ship cleaned. We had a nice day sitting on the ship in Galveston. At around 8 at night, we were told that we wouldn't leave today. They didn't know when we would leave. I was tired, so I fell asleep early that night.

 

More of this review to come!
