Last Day at Sea…

Today was our last day at sea… we had no plans, we had no agenda, we had no itinerary… it was just a do-what-we-want-to-do day.  Since it was an on-again, off-again cloudy day, we decided to spend the day exploring the ship more.  The boys were up for the adventure… especially when we enticed them with the promise of finding an arcade (which we did find).

The ARCADE!

And found Alex this awesome hat!

Captain Alex

Then we found some really “cool” windows (exactly how William and Alex described them).

The boys loved the "circle" windows.

I actually never even got the chance to show off our cool cabins!  Carnival set us up in 2 of them because we have 6 people in our family.  It worked perfectly because one was our “sleeping quarters” and the other was our “dressing suite.” Seriously… I packed like 7 suitcases.

Our cabin...

Other view… the boys LOVED the bunk beds.  They took turns swapping the top bunk each night.  We told Benjamin he had to be 4 to be on the top bunk (it worked).

BUNKS

Kids Camp was a saving grace on the trip.  The boys begged to go back every day.  Henry didn’t want to go today, poor little guy cried like crazy when we dropped him off.  I came back 20 minutes later to check on him and he was still crying, so I took him with me and spent the day with just him.  Henry was a little jealous when he caught wind that it was “bunny” day.

Alex Bunny!

William, Alex and Ben hung together all week…

Brothers...

And then… day turned to night. We headed to our last dinner at Normandie with our amazing waiter Luciano. I surprised Alex tonight with wearing a “handsome” shirt, too.

Handsome shirts!

The boys just wanted to play and enjoy their last night aboard the ship. We brought them to the top deck where there wasn’t many people and just let them have some FUN!

Ahhh...
BOYS!
Enjoying the sights...
I'm sure the diners below loved seeing the faces of these little guys while they ate! LOL...

And our last sunset at sea…

Beautiful...

    We’re taking our family on a cruise in November. I am SO excited! We took them on the Disney Cruise when they were little, and now that they’re teenagers it’ll be a whole different experience 🙂 This time we’re going on a chartered Royal Caribbean cruise called the Music Boat. 4 day cruise full of concerts by our favorite bands!
    Looks like you had a wonderful time! I’m really counting down the days till our cruise now…seeing all your pics makes me want it to hurry up and get here already!
