Prosperity Adventure: Mexico Cruise on the Carnival Splendor

Here’s our group boarding the cruise ship, the Carnival Splendor.

I first cruised to Mexico when I was 15 years old (before I learned Spanish), and was very curious what it would be like to return 20 years later.

It was great!  I really appreciated being away from phones and internet for a week as well as getting to see Mexico again as a seasoned traveler.  My Spanish was a little slow at first but by the last day in Puerto Vallarta, I was chatting up a storm with our taxi driver and it was tough to switch back to English on the ship.

Here are some pictures of the ship:

 Here are some of the highlights from the trip:

 

 

 Each night when we came back from dinner, we had a different towel animal.

 

 

 

 

So what do you think?  Is cruising for you?  Please post a comment and let me know about your cruise experiences or thoughts.  Thanks!

    These are sharp, clear, beautiful pictures of your cruise. Love the burrow and you together. Looks like love LOL. My husband and I have been talking about taking a cruise. Interestingly, you posted these pictures on my birthday. Hmmmm… I think this is a sign from The Lord that the cruise is happening soon. Thanks, P.J. You are one in a million. And, oh, cute boyfriend!!!

    I’m turning 54 today & have never been on a cruise. My hubby & I have been talking about taking one to Alaska for years. We are getting closer to actually doing that I think. LOL. I am now also thinking I’d like to take one with my sister or a girlfriend to a warmer destination also within the next couple years.

    Time to start working on setting the actual dates, so your beautiful photos- which look like you had a fun time- are an inspiration to me. Thanks for posting them online for us all to see!

      Hi Beth! Happy Birthday!

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

      I did the first Abraham-Hicks cruise to Alaska in 2004 on Holland America and it was fantastic! I highly recommend putting a plan in action to make it happen. You will love it!

      I recommend connecting with Margaret Owen (owentravel.com) because she’s got the inside scoop on the hottest cruise deals.

      Have fun! : D

  • I have never been on a cruise, but I think I am getting closer and closer to going on one, especially after seeing your pictures. Thanks for sharing! That picture of you hugging the burro(?) just made me smile!
