Captain Carnival Posted June 24, 2013 Author #377 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) BACK<---- To The PHOTOS---> Part XI Barcelona and The Voyage Home! :( It seems that by arriving in Barcelona that our cruise journey is once again complete as we spent very little time here and what time we did spend was contained within the airport terminal awaiting our flight for Tampa Bay, Florida and home to our incredible family. Our journey brought us to places far from our physical home but near and dear to the heart. This was a trip to celebrate our first 30 Years of Marriage and I cannot wait until we celebrate the culmination of the next 30 years when we cross the 60 year Anniversary threshold together. “To search for the old is to understand the new; the old, the new….this is a matter of time.” Gichin Funakoshi There will of course be other anniversary celebrations, upcoming marriages for our kids, new Grandchildren, retirement and whatever else life holds in store for us. This trip was also a glimpse into the seeds of our past from the canals of Venizia, the ancient ruins of Ephesus and the Parthenon, the holy and spiritual visit to the Blessed Mothers home, Vatican City and to all of the incredible and astonishing and wondrous places that we visited throughout Italia itself. An opportunity to see where we came from as it relates to where we are today and where we shall be tomorrow. I cannot express enough just how fortunate that we were to have trekked this adventure together and I can only imagine as to where and when we will journey to next; perhaps to Northern Europe to explore the roots of our other half – Ireland and Germany (aboard a Carnival Funship of course)! Thank You All for sharing this adventure with us and hope to see you all once again on yet another Carnival Cruise Ship in the not-too-distant future and as always… CIAO FOR NOW!!

Captain Carnival Posted June 25, 2013 Author #383 Share Posted June 25, 2013 One thing that I forgot to mention was that although we were entitled to do a total of 6 loads of laundry on the ship we only ended up doing 3. In the end we realized, at least I did, that I took way too much in terms of shirts and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare deladane Posted June 25, 2013 #384 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but which nights did you have the two formal nights? Were they just on each of the sea days? Or did they do them after one of your port days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Carnival Posted June 27, 2013 Author #392 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) LEGEND REPOSITIONING REUNION CRUISE Calling all M&M's, or anyone who has sailed Legend, or just anyone at all for that matter who has read this LEGENDary review, now that it has been confirmed that Legend is indeed being repositioned to Australia in September 2014, who is up for a "repositioning reunion" at least for the first leg through the Panama Canal? I know I am, anyone else? Edited June 27, 2013 by ShotoJuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Carnival Posted June 28, 2013 Author #393 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Nearly 5000 views now - I just wish I had more feedback like this one! Gratzi John!!!! John Heald commented on your link.John Heald wrote: "that was fantastic Susan. What a brilliant couple and what a fantastic review. I am honoured by their kind words and enjoyed the photos of two people having fun. I have sent this to all the senior management here and I know they will be thrilled. Thanks Susan for posting this here and my best wishes to you and to ShotoJuku.......love that name. cheers" Just kind of an odd observation, but it was a month ago today (5/28) that I posted the "5000" comment above and although the review has gone through the first initial run followed by the Back<--- to the Photos section, this review still seems to have legs at more that 23,000+ views. :) Enjoy it if you must, post something if you can! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am, anyone else? Don't know if we can, but I know I would love to. I have absolutely loved your review and your photos. It was so much fun to read. I was hooked from the beginning when you told about the "pizza" anniversary surprise for your wife. I for one am sorry that your review is over. Can't wait until you take another cruise and write another review! We are going on the Legend for the first time in September. So excited! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Carnival Posted June 29, 2013 Author #396 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Indiana Jones fan, too? :D Me...an Indy fan...no way! ;) All I can say is that when I told my Bride about an excursion to Delhi she told me quite bluntly - “If you think I'm going to Delhi with you, or anyplace else after all the trouble you've gotten me into, think again, buster! I'm going home to Missouri where they never feed you snakes before ripping your heart out and lowering you into hot pits! This is NOT my idea of a swell time!” :eek::rolleyes::D Edited June 29, 2013 by ShotoJuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
