Day 7 (6/24/11)
The hotel Catalonia Berna is beautiful and just in the heart of downtown but due to the delay in our flights we only got to spend a little time there before we had to head out to our cruise ship in the port in Spain. The shuttle that took us from the hotel to the cruise was early in the morning, so we got to skip the check-in lines and made it on the ship early. The gang just hung out in the lunch cafeteria for a bit before exploring the massive cruise ship for the first time. The Carnival Magic is huge with plenty of facilities such as a full size basketball court, mini gulf course, gym, two water slides, two huge pools (one with a jumbo television screen in front of it), about a million hot tubs and bars, three dining halls, a casino and a full size show theater. The size of this home away from home is still unbelievable and remembering where everything is, is a constant problem. But it is our cross to bear, when you decide to partake on the Carnival Magic. After taking a thorough tour around the boat, it was time for us to relax in our new digs on the first flour, rooms 1347 and 1223. Unpacking and reorganizing is not fun tasks but someone got to do it and by that time it was time for dinner at the Northern Lights restaurant. Before dinner, Emily had to try the all-you-can-eat sushi bar on the ship which opens at five every night and it was delicious serving Jamie’s personal favorite Philadelphia roll. Dinner was a pleasant event where we got to meet our table mates, a funny family from Washington DC and a hilarious server Peter that picks on Amy every night about not eating her vegetables. After dinner, the gang relaxed in the a hot tub before heading to bed having to wake up early the next day for Monaco.

The stakes are high for tomorrow!
Happy Sailing,
