The whale pics and your descriptions are amazing! I’m so glad you found them! I’m headed to Alaska next summer and seeing the whales is pretty much a bucket list item. Fingers crossed that my experience will be as good as yours! So sorry to hear about Karl’s seasickness. I have heard that is absolutely miserable. Glad he seems to have recovered quickly. You mentioned jumping off waterfalls in Dominican Republic. Was it the Waterfalls of Damajauga? We had a blast doing that, too! I always get excited when someone else mentions it. Lol Thanks for the review! Your reviews (and Jamman) were some of my favorites here on Cruise Critic and a big part of the reason I’ve started writing myself. Thank you!

The pictures and descriptions are fantastic!

I love the sea lions! I kind of want to go, if for no other reason, to see them.

Hey, so glad to see you back! I’ve missed reading your reviews! I’m all settled in to enjoy your cruise!

ABC sounds awesome and I hope you have a wonderful trip! The waterfalls of Damajagua is pretty amazing but definitely not for the faint of heart. The hike in is pretty easy and takes about 40 minutes. Depending on the water levels, you might have differing numbers of waterfall jumps. The first jump is about 12ft, if I remember correctly. The highest jump we did was about 20 ft. It was fun and terrifying! Floating through the canyon was a lot of fun but the water is very murky and you can’t see the bottom. It requires a good bid of climbing over rocks, some slick, and sliding down natural water slides. If you’re interested, I did a Mardi Gras review and included lots of pictures from the excursion. Whatever you decide, I hope you have an awesome cruise!

I don’t drink alcohol either and Carnival is my favorite!

Thanks so much for the advice!

We actually didn't get to go because that port was canceled due to weather. I'm hoping to make it at some point.

Thanks so much! Great review as always!

Please let us know. I’m on Elation in the end of April and I’m curious.

Oh Lord, oh Lord, Willdra’s prayers are the best!

Gotta be the perfect part

Patti does such a good job on her pics, especially the details. I am so bad to get caught up in what I’m doing and just get “overall” type photos. I need to channel some Patti vibes next time!

Oh good, I made it just in time!

Yay! Finally, another awesome Willdra adventure!
