I couldn’t decide between two entries from my CARNIVAL ELATION journal, so I’m sharing both.

Thursday, July 15, 2010:

One very nice aspect of CARNIVAL ELATION is the abundance of window seats. I am now making myself comfortable on one of the four on Sports Deck (Deck 12) near the atrium elevators. If I get up and walk a few feet to the railing, I have a great view of all the decks surrounding the atrium down to its base on Deck 7.

And later the same day:

Our waiter is very good. Our teen son has ordered a few items off the kids menu. Some of these portions are quite small. Tonight, after he’d plowed through two kid-size portions of macaroni and cheese, he asked the waiter if he could have more. Our waiter said he’d already placed the order in the kitchen.
