Our Caribbean Cruise
December 1 ~ 8, 2002

Bonnie and I decided to take our first cruise together.  We booked with Carnival Cruise Lines through a local travel agent for what they called their "Western Caribbean" cruise.  Our itinerary was as follows:

Dec. 1	Miami
Dec. 2	At sea
Dec. 3	Cozumel, Mexico
Dec. 4	At sea
Dec. 5	Grand Cayman
Dec. 6	Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Dec. 7	At sea
Dec. 8	Miami

We sailed on the Carnival's "no smoking ship", the Paradise.  If you'd like to read more about Carnival, their trips, or the Paradise, click here.  There were 153 photographs added to our web site from a total of 297 taken during the cruise.  The web photos are broken down as follows: Cruise (51), Cozumel (26), Grand Cayman (29), and Ocho Rios (47).

The following pictures were all taken at the Port of Miami or in and around the ship.  Above and at the end of this page are links that will take you to the rest of the pictures ~ enjoy!
