What To Do on a Carnival Inspiration Cruise

What To Do on a Cruise

In 3 days, I will be going on a roadtrip to LA with my mom, dad, brother, and sister as we head onto our first cruise for spring break. It's rare when all of us have the same week off so my parents decided to be spontaneous and take us on a cruise within the one day they thought of it.

We board the cruise in LA on Monday, the 21st of March. My family and I will wake up sometime around 5 in the morning and begin our 6-8 hour drive. Once we get onto the boat, we will leave LA at 5:30 pm. Day 2 will be a Fun Day At Sea and since this is my first time going on a cruise, I'm not exactly sure what that is but it's the one day we will be on the ship all day. On day 3, we will arrive at Catalina Island which is in my home state of California at 7:30 in the morning. We will leave the island at 4:30 pm and it's supposed to be breathtaking there. Day 4 will consist of being in Ensenada, Mexico at 8:00 am and leaving there at 6:00 pm. On our last day of the cruise which will be day 5, we will head back to LA and be there at 7:00 am and then drive back home.

Seeing as this is mine and my family's first time going on a cruise, I decided that I would look everything up and make a list of what to do on a cruise, what to bring, and etc. The hardest thing about this 5 day cruise is that we will have no wifi or internet. Our phones will have to be on airplane mode and that's difficult for me as I will want to post many pictures on social media and it's a way to contact anyone in my family when we aren't together. However, the good thing about this is that I will not catch any spoilers on my tv shows as I won't be able to watch any of the new episodes that week. Most of the stuff will be free while some things are quite expensive. Anyways, let's begin with the list of things to do!
