WELCOME TO CRETE

 

Our call on the Island of Crete was perhaps the best and the most surprising port of this cruise. Not because of the exceptional sights, history, and of course cuisine, but just how we discovered it all. Like our other excursions during this cruise this one was a private one that included a total of 8 persons.

 

Our guide "Lefty" provided us with an incredible experience that included many stops along the way in the town of Heraklion and throughout the countryside and lunch at a very non-tourist restaurant that was just exceptional.

FD@S - 3

 

Between Crete and our next Port of Call (Malta) we enjoyed our third and final FD@S.

 



 



 



 

 

It Was Also Mother's Day

 



 

 

I made sure that our adult kids and Grandkids had cards for me to take along as a surprise too!

GFSJ

 

The weather started to yurn a little so the GFSJ was brought indoors to the atrium lobby bar.

Won't see you until April 1, 2017 to go on Paradise again. Any plans to renovate her? Really needs to look more like Inspiration on Lido.

 

Thanks for your work on this thread.

VALLETTA , MALTA

 

We arrived at the Port of Valletta, Malta as the very first Carnival Funship to ever call on this exciting port. Here again we traveled in a small private group giving us ample time to survey this Island Nation of the Maltese Cross.

BEFORE DINNER DRINK

 

Generally speaking we would often stop off at the Atrium/Lobby Bar and order a drink and then brink it with us to the table. This night was the second Elegant Night and we ordered none other than a Captain Carnival Cosmo.

 



 

Do you ever order a drink and bring it to the table?

WELCOME TO ROME

 



 



On our way via Rome In A Limo.....apparently not everyone is happy except my Bride with the pink sweater on.

 



The old city wall gate

 



 

The Appian Way - the road that leads to the catacombs is actually a part of the very first constructed roadway on planet earth.

The Original Appian Way Stones

 



The Appian Way - built in 312 BC and stretched 350 miles long south to Naples.

CRUISE T-SHIRTS

 

We usually make a T-shirt that commemorates "special" cruise events such as anniversaries, birthdays and such and this one was no exception.

 

The only problem was that Izmir, Turkey was scrapped a few weeks before we sailed for another FD@S until it was announced that we would call on Kotor, Montenegro just a few days before we sailed.

 

Oh well.

 

 

 

Do you make "Special" Cruise T-shirts?

 

CIAO FOR NOW....

 

Was there an issue with using the Carnival logos on that shirt? Usually, places like Cafepress won't allow anything that has a copyright to be printed. What site did you use to create and order your shirts?
