Brenda and I enjoyed our first cruise in many years, thanks to our children. They gifted us a cruise out of Mobile, AL. We have done at least 2, and as many as four in the past, but this was NOW.
I’ll write several posts about this, as it is unlike normal life. The Ship was the Carnival Ecstasy, which is 30 years old and due to retire about Oct 15, 2022. Despite that, it looked great to us. The crew was painting throughout the whole 5 days. The entire crew seemed to be hard working folks. Most of the service crew were from India or from the Philippines. There were a few crew from central and South America, and at least two from Ukraine. We met one Pol, and a few from Republic of South Africa and several from Indonesia, and one from Morocco. Most of the USA folks seemed to be in the entertainment team.
One of our friends once described cruises as "organized gluttony". True enough. More on that later.
