Acapulco

So this is now our first excursion! Yay, we made it to a port. Now we get to do more tourist-like activities. Although there was a draw back. One of our group which will from now on be referring to myself, my sisters and my sisters' roommate, were separated because the activity that we tried to get into, was full. So only three of us could go. My sisters' roommate was the one who ended up separating from the group to do snooba. Something like scuba diving. The rest of us went snorkeling. I have to say, the water was much colder and saltier than I had anticipated. Hey, don't judge me! I think it was the first time I've ever been in the sea! So how was I supposed to know! It's not like I went to the sea one day and jumped in and tried to drink some of the water, that's just weird and kinda gross. Anyways, the snorkeling wasn't too bad. It was my first time and it was pretty neat to see the fish in the water, though, it would've been better had the water been less... murky. You couldn't really see much. But still fun none the less. I didn't get any pictures of this unfortunately so you won't see anything for my trip to Acapulco.

After snorkeling for a little while, we went back to the boat for dinner and a little bit of rest. The reason I say a little bit of rest is because we had another excursion planned. We were going to go see the cliff divers. Sounds neat doesn't it! Well if you do end up going on a Carnival Cruise line and you go to Acapulco and they have this option for an excursion. I'd recommend going to the earlier one, which is also a tour of the city. If a tour in a little bus isn't your cup of tea, then just don't bother. To be honest, the one at night, isn't bad, it's kinda neat because there will be a guy that jumps off with only torches for lighting. But your sooooo far away, its hard to see anything. So bring binoculars if you go unless you don't want to see guys in speedos jumping off a cliff... in that case, just don't go on the excursion. Save your money! Before the actual cliff diving, they brought us to a little store where you could buy some neat things, but I didn't bother purchase anything. Nothing really caught my attention. But that's about it for Acapulco.

When leaving though, the city lights were very nice to look at when we were sailing away. And it was also pretty interesting to look forward from the bow of the boat. Which would be the front of the ship for those of you who don't know! Don't worry I'm not mocking you, until I searched it up on Google just now, I didn't know either! Anyways, when you looked forward from the bow of the ship, you saw nothing... it was just complete darkness. You couldn't even see the water. It was a little bit unsettling but whatever, can't do much about when you're on the boat. It was still neat though. Also, just in case I forgot to mention this, on Carnival Cruise lines, it would seem they always have ice cream dispensers on deck. So if you ever want ice cream or frozen yogurt, you can get it anytime you want! So about 90% of the time I was on the boat, I had an ice cream cone in my hand! Mmmm ice cream!
