Published on May 31, 2018 by Kate8 Comments

On day 4 we went to Mazatlan!

We started off the day by eating breakfast (DUH!). After that, we walked onto the dock to the boat that would take us into the ocean. There were free drinks. We saw two sea lions and where the Pacific Ocean and The Sea of Cortez met.

After the AWESOME boat ride, we went on a bus tour through the city. Our tour guide was Irma. She was really good. We stopped at the cliff divers. The water was rough, and 5 feet deep! It was a 40-foot dive!!!!!!!! He jumped and……….LIVED! Woo-Hoo!

The cliff diver is up there.

A little look our point.

We’re on the way up.

After that, we got back on the bus and drove around the city. We stopped at one place to eat, and I got a marionette!!! I named him Jeff Bob. At the store right next to the restaurant we saw this sign:

whoppersize — lol! It was a clothing shop for tourists. they have “whopper (giant)” clothing!!!!!

Next, we went to the cathedral.

We had such a fun day 3!

Day 3:

YAY! We were finally off that ship, not saying it was bad, it was just nice at land. Anyway, here we were anchored right outside of Cabo San Lucas! We got off and rode the little tender boats to land.

We found our leader, and she showed us the way to Cabo Dolphins. There, we got our wristbands and put on our swimsuits. Finally, we could jump into the water! We met our dolphin that we were gonna swim with. His name was Cahall. He did many tricks. His trainer told us what to do, and Cahall would do something. One example is when we clapped, he’d clap, or try… We all got turns riding on his back which was SOOO fun!

Look at cute lil Cahall!

Swimming

After we swam with Cahall, we went on a boat ride to the arches. It was really rocky, and at one point we went SUPER fast! My Grandma was so scared. It was funny. 🙂

I’m lovin it

After the boat ride, we went to our ship and watched The Greatest Showman. We ate from the buffet while watching it and then headed to bed.

Cabo San Lucas was SUPER fun!!!!

Carnival Cruise to Mexico: Part 1

I went on my first cruise last week to Mexico on the Carnival Splendor.

I got a drink…

Our Grandparents Room!

Day 1:

On the first day, we left our house around 10:30 and drove to the port. It was big, and we had to wait in a LOOOONG line. Finally, we made it on!!!! Phew. We found our grandparents and ate. The ship had sooooooo much food.

After that, we went to the mini golf. It was fun, and my brother LOVED it. We also explored the ship because I’ve never been on a cruise nevertheless this ship, Carnival Splendor. We went to our tiny cabin. It had to bunk beds and a puny bathroom (:/…..). It was cozy, though.

Playing Mini Golf

We all got our own cards!

Day 2:

I woke up in the puny cabin, got dressed, and walked around Lido. Lido is the 9th deck, and my cabin was on the 8th. Lido is also the deck with most of the food. I went to the stern (the back), and saw dolphins swimming in our wake!!!!!! THEY WERE SOOOOO CUTE! After we ate breakfast, my sister and I want on the water slide. It was fun and fast. In the evening, we went to formal night in the dining room. After that, we went to an AMAZING show in the Spectacular Lounge/Theater. The show was called Epic Rock and had dancing and singing. Then, I went to my cabin and slept.
