Our last day of the cruise. We slept in. The big event was the “Platinum and Diamond Reunion”, an event only for Carnival’s most ardent cruisers. For the first time, I qualified to attend on my own merits. It isn’t much of a party – some music and a promo video from Carnival, then they bring out all the officers again. But it has an open bar.

Marlene lost even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were tired and decided to wait until morning to pack. We set our alarms for 6 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
