Fab cruise to Aruba, Turks and Caicos, and Curacao for Marie’s birthday. Our 11th cruise, 2nd on Carnival.
We liked the cabin – was spacious with a balcony. And the service and towel animals made by Sri our attendant from Indonesia.

Aruba was the highlight of the trip – they call it “One Happy Island”. Did some shopping and Iguana sighting.

Curacao has interesting architecture but is pretty barren and dry. Nice flamingos.

Grand Turk was set up well for our visit with a huge swimming pool and beach right beside the ship.
