These pictures taken during our trip on the Western Caribbean Carnival Cruise beginning on January 9th through 16th, 2006. The trip started off a little rough, just like all of our trips. We arrived at the airport only to find that our flight times had changed, and we were not made aware of the change. With only ten minutes to the new departure time, they would not allow us to get on that flight. So, they put us on stand-by on a different flight, which put us an hour behind our first flight. We were fortunate to make it on both flights to arrive only an hour behind. When we arrived in Tampa, we struggled to find the shuttle to take us to the ship. Once we were in the shuttle, our driver drove around for a little while before he made a phone call to get directions because he did not know the way to a drop off for another couple in the van. We finally arrived at the ship with little time to spare.
