October 2007, on the Fascination. I bought a $5 Florida lottery ticket, which was a $10 winner.  Used that for a $10 ticket, which was a $20 winner.  Used that for a $20 ticket, which was a $500 winner.  I found a  cruise on the Fascination for $540. While on the Fascination, I spent $20 to play bingo and won a free five-night cruise on the Inspiration. Total investment for two cruises = $5 for original lottery ticket, $40 towards the Fascination, and $20 for bingo, or $65.00.

The original M.S. Carnival Celebration. An Easter cruise in April 1994. Sailed out of Miami to San Juan, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. Cruising sure has changed since then.

Nov 2008 on the Carnival Legend.  We will sail on her again March 2025.  Will become Platinum on the same ship we began Carnival on depending on any changes this coming winter. What will be will be.

Our first Carnival cruise was on Celebration out of Tampa in 1997. Prior to that, we did a few other cruises in the mid to late 80s on other lines. So far we've done 19 on Carnival, 26 total. We have 5 cruises booked, 4 of them are on Carnival.

2005  Celebration    I was so not impressed with this ship.  The mini pool was ridiculous and the lido buffet was closed most of the time.  Said that I would never sail again.

2013 Carnival Liberty Back to Back Eastern/Western Carribean

1992 Holiday 7 day out of Miami.  I remember when we pulled up thinking that ship is HUGE.  They had a little mini pool slide that was open like an hour a day and the hours were listed in the Capers (now Fun Times).  They also served ice cream and frozen yogurt for very limited hours.  But we did have the midnight buffet!  Almost all our cruises have been with Carnival.

Carnival Paradise western caribbean in 1999. It was a new ship and the first ship that was completely non-smoking. We took our two young daughters (third child was not born yet) and they are now in their 30's. Great memories!
