We recently went on the Carnival Imagination and it was WONDERFUL! Just as amazing as the last cruise we went on. The Carnival Magic. I have been meaning to blog about our experience on the Carnival Magic, but just haven't had the chance, but I hope to blogging about that one soon!! Carnival Imagination took us to Catalina Island & Ensenada, Mexico and then we had one full day at sea. Both Catalina and Ensenada were absolutely beautiful!! We ended up just sight seeing and grabbing a yummy coffee in Catalina, but decided on doing an excursion in Ensenada. We went to see La Bufadora and I thought it was pretty amazing!!!
If you have never heard of La Bufadora, it's a marine geyser or blowhole . The spout of sea water is the result of air, trapped in a sea cave, exploding upwards. Air is forced into the cave by wave action and is released when the water recedes. It also makes a thunderous noise as well. Which I thought that was pretty cool!! This repeats every minute or so with its volume depending on the the strength of the waves.
Here is a little video....
Before I share some photos, I just have to say if you haven't done a cruise....DO ONE NOW! Seriously!! I am not even joking and I am not even sure why it's taken me so long to done one. My husband kept on and on about taking a cruise, but I just wasn't sure I would like it. Plus, being out in the sea kinda freaked me out. Well all that worrying for nothing. I love cruising! LOVE IT!!! I wish I could live on a ship. It's affordable and it's all inclusive(except for spa, alcohol & excursions). You do absolutely nothing but relax and have fun. They have everything you need and they take you to new, fun & exciting places that you can choose to get off the ship and see. You get to eat whenever you want, however much you want. Best part in my opinion!!! You unpack once and you have everything at your fingertips.........food, cocktails, more food, swimming, hot tubs, sauna, steam room, spa, gym, jogging track, mini golf, night clubs, kids clubs(in case you take the kids), comedy club, piano bar, library room, casino, karaoke, parties, bingo, lounges, taste bar, formal dinner, music, shows(and really good shows too), tea time, brunch, and did I mention all the food!!! It's heaven! You lose track of time and forget what day it is...seriously....it's AH-MAZING!!!
Below are some of our photos of wonderful memories. Enjoy!
They are excited about getting on the ship!! :)
Going straight to the food....
Made it to Catalina Island!
LOVE THEM!
Back on the ship and about to get ready for formal night with a little pampering in the spa! Decided to cut & color my hair! :)
My daughter Zayda photo bombed me in the photo below.
Ate a fantastic dinner for formal night and now we are waiting for the 70's & 80's Rock Concert to start!!
The guy below was an opener for the show. He was really really good at playing the guitar. I didn't get any photos or video of the actual show since cameras or video weren't allowed, but it was pretty amazing!! We had so much fun singing along to all the songs.
Arrived in Ensenada, Mexico! :)
Below is a photo of a jaguar. The only photo I was able to take before I was told I could not take photos of them because it cost money. For $20 you could take a photo with the animal. They would either take it out of the cage or put you in the cage and take a photo. They also had a black jaguar, monkey, two lion cubs and a lion. There was a lady standing with the black jaguar and she was letting him nibble on her hand. We did not take a photo with any of these animals. I felt really bad for them. Not only do I feel that these animals should not be used for this purpose but I also think it's dangerous and they don't belong in small cages like this one. :(
Back on the ship and ready for a fun day at sea!! :)
Mardi Gras party!!
Below is a photo I took on the last morning of our cruise. :(
Miss it already and can't wait for the next one!!!
