Title:

chapter 7: The Cruise

Post Text

For my 15th birthday my mom and stepdad took my 2 siblings and I on a 5 day cruise. The ship was named The Carnival Paradise, and it left out of Tampa Florida, just a few days before the Republican Convention for the 2012 presidential election. The ship was in route for Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel Mexico. Unfortunately there was a hurricane also in route for the same destinations as us. Hurricane Irene did not allow are ship to dock in Grand Cayman because of the rough sea waves which were as big as a 10 story building. Luckily all of my family has very strong stomachs and none of us were hurling over the boat like the other passengers. We did make it into Cozumel and I got to see the Mayan Ruins, and I got a tour of a tequila factory. All in all I had a very fun time on the cruise with my family and hope to go on another one again soon.
