Carnival Cruise: Day 2

Ok, so, they tell you that you can't feel the boat moving... You can. I am subject to sea sickness, something I uncovered when deep see fishing with Kyle on his eleventeenth birthday.... The first night I was second in line for anti nausea medicine, but turns out I just ate too much.

The movements that are really disturbing is when you bend over across the ship, like reaching for the salt at dinner... but other than that, while you can feel a gental motion up and down, it's not too bad.

I really think our boat needs it's propulsion system looked at, feels like the engines are out of sync making it feel like the boat is crab walking across the ocean... Truly awesome for us pukey people..

I went on the beginners scuba lesson, and let me tell you, it's awesome... The ocean is a really noisy place, even when you aren't blowing bubbles all over the place it's super loud. I kept thinking it would be like being in my pool at home, not so much, not at least unless your pool has salt water and is 40 feet deep... We dove on a reef, tickled some feather anenemies, annoyed a arrow crab, and generally had a blast. Jenn did the shopping excursion, shocker I know, we split up on our first day on the cruise!!! But we both had fun, came back and over ate some more, then went to a really interesting art auction..

Personally I think the art guy was stretching the crowd a little when he was trying to sell us 20,000$ art work, but anything under 300$ sold pretty quick, there was some really great art by Peter max, as well as another guy who'se name I cannot spell.. Was very interesting, the free champagne was really horrible,but other than that was fun...

About the only thing on this ship that costs the same as on shore, Internet is 100$ for 250 minutes, a can of code is 2$, is a movie... Still 10$ for a firstish run movie... Now off to lose some money in the casino, or as Karl with a K says, make a donation...;)

Editors Note: I am posting these all at once though I did write them on the day, so something of interest to people stopping in St. Thomas, your import restrictions are MUCH higher on things you buy in St Thomas, for example you can bring in 4 bottle of alchohol you bought in St Thomas, but only one from anywhere else... Similar restrictions apply to tabacoo, though I didn't listen to them because I didn't care.
