Iceland, Scotland and Northern Ireland Cruise on Carnival Pride – Day 8 [Seydisfjordur, Iceland]
The last day in Iceland. I decided today was the day for exercise. I went for a hike halfway up a mountain to see the Hengifoss waterfall.
Iceland, Scotland and Northern Ireland Cruise on Carnival Pride – Day 7 [Akureyri, Iceland]
Another day of exploring the amazing country of Iceland. Yes, there was a waterfall on the itinerary (and plenty that we passed by as well).
Iceland, Scotland and Northern Ireland Cruise on Carnival Pride – Day 6 [Grundafjordur, Iceland]
A day tour of the best of Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The tour took us around to a lot of interesting areas, including a sea arch and basalt rocks that remind me of the Giants’ Causeway.

A breathtaking day in Reykjavik, Iceland and the Golden Circle.

Iceland, Scotland and Northern Ireland Cruise on Carnival Pride – Day 1 [Flight to London]
A very long day. It started with a flight at 2 AM, included two flights, a tube ride, a train ride and about 11 miles of walking (mostly along the white cliffs of Dover).
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 9 [Disembarkation and return to Houston]
It’s time for my trip to come to an end. I easily disembark the ship and walk across the street from the port to take photos and videos of the ship with the drone. An easy shuttle from the cruise terminal to the airport gave me plenty of time to relax at the airport before my flight.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 8 [Nassau, Bahamas]
Today the ship visited Nassau. In fact it was the only ship in port. I intended to visit Fincastle Fort, but it was closed. I did manage to sneak around the outside of the fort. I wandered around the shopping area near the fort and briefly flew the drone.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 7 [Fun Day at Sea]
The last Fun Day At Sea. More adventure on the Ropes course, comedy shows, and a fancy alcoholic drink.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 6 [Amber Cove, Dominican Republic]
Today the ship visited the Dominican Republic. The port area was built specifically for Carnival and is called Amber Cove. There is a nice pool area and some activities in the port area. I also went on the Ropes course on the ship and rode the first rollercoaster at sea, the Bolt.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 5 [San Juan, Puerto Rico]
Today was the ship’s first port call, and technically the ship hasn’t left America yet (though it did sail through international waters) as we are visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico today which is a US territory. I visited a couple of Spanish forts and enjoyed the Spanish Colonial architecture.

Another fun day at sea. More time to relax and explore this beautiful new ship.
