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.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 4 [Fun Day at Sea]
Another fun day at sea. More time to relax and explore this beautiful new ship.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 3 [Fun Day at Sea]

The first day onboard the new Carnival Mardi Gras.
2021 Carnival Mardi Gras Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Day 1 [Houston to Orlando]

UnCruise Adventures – Wilderness Explorer [Alaska]
Videos recorded during one of my best trips ever while cruising on the UnCruise Adventures Wilderness Explorer (or while exploring pre/post cruise)

Today’s adventure included the first Starbucks, a Japanese Garden and a ride on the Great Wheel. Oh and I flew back from Seattle to Austin.
2021 Alaska UnCruise – Fjords & Glaciers [Day 15 – Seattle, Washington]
Today I explored Seattle via light rail and took a ferry to Bremerton and back. It doesn’t sound like much, but it was still a full day. Plus I flew my drone at night to capture the skyline of Seattle at night.
2021 Alaska UnCruise – Fjords & Glaciers [Day 14 – Juneau, Alaska to Seattle, Washington]
An early departure from Juneau and a full day in Seattle. I visited Chihuly Gardens and Glass as well as the Space Needle for sunset.
2021 Alaska UnCruise – Fjords & Glaciers [Day 13 – Juneau, Alaska]
A long and busy day. The highlight of the day was visiting Mendenhall Glacier and hiking to nugget falls. Another awesome meal at Deckhand Dave’s and finally a scenic walk around Juneau before packing.
