Well we made it to the cruise! We were quite concerned yesterday, and even through the night we had some trouble sleeping as the forecast in Charlotte and Jacksonville called for thunderstorms – 90% chance – and we know you can’t fly in thunderstorms, especially topped with our flying luck. However, it was more like cloudy with sunny breaks and it is 81 degrees here in Jacksonville currently…just what we were waiting for.
We were able to board the plane this morning on schedule. Getting off the ground was another story after waiting our turn in line on the runway. We were about 35 minutes or so behind, but we made time in the air and only landed 10 minutes behind schedule. We immediately went to track down our luggage, which was ready and waiting from the flight it made last night. We then saw a Carnival rep at the airport, greeting guests so we found a way to travel a Carnival shuttle and were immediately at ease. The Carnival boarding process is much more pleasant than that of the airport. Carnival employees are very inviting.
This post is mostly to announce that we’re on board the Fascination, something that as of last night, we weren’t entirely sure would happen today so we’re really excited. Thanks for the prayers. To reward ourselves from our travel troubles, we have visited the pizzeria, the salad bar, the deli (for a reuben sandwich), the grill (for nachos with cheese, and some fries) and of course, the dessert bar for some chocolate cake, vanilla soft serve on the side. Yup, we’re finally in vacation mode. We’re going to explore the ship, which looks really nice and is all decked out for Christmas!!
