Try to imagine this- you are aboard a carnival cruise ship and you are the tippy top deck. The sun is blazing hot so you wear your sunglasses and hat, plus layers and layers of sunscreen. The wind is blowing in random gust, so you have your mind on your hat to make sure it doesn't blow away. You are also carrying your tiny "purse" to hold your iPod and phone along with binoculars. On top of the peace you are trying to get from the views of the ocean, you hear the parents pestering you to put more sunscreen and to stay in the shade. But who could possibly be anywhere except the top deck because you can now see the Atlantis water park in the distance.
That was exactly what was going on at the moment. Our eight families were quite loud because they were in the frenzy to make sure everyone got sunscreen. And I was at least trying to get my view of the clear blue waters. It was my firs time ever seeing the real Caribbean Seas, so I needed a good first impression. (Haiti didn't have the same blue waters.) Well, that's Atlantis. We didn't go I think because it wasn't part of the ship excursion or touring Atlantis would need more than a day to visit.
This was one of my favorite pictures. The tiny lighthouse. So as I explained above, I was trying to enjoy this view as the parents had the sunscreen drama. The parents kept going around asking all the kids twice and thrice. Literally, I was taking taking this picture, and one parent would come up to me and ask if I put sunscreen or not. Once I took that picture, a little past the lighthouse (the ship was still moving), I would take another picture. A different parent would come tell me to go to some shade. I eventually did go inside, once the ship stopped, and it felt so good becuase it was just extremely hot outside. Too hot that it got tiring.
Nassau, Bahamas!!! Looks very similar to the US. Their national language is English, so no language problem there. And I feel like just the cruise excursion areas are very nice and touristy, but once you pass that point, you see all the rough places. (I know that the cruise area in Haiti is super nice, but once you go past that point, everything looks so different.) But I can't be sure because we drove like 20-30 minutes into the country and it remained about the same. So I'm thinking either you have to go really deep to see the real places, or the Bahamas is a well rounded place.
Palm trees! Actually, just a palm tree. Always reminds me of warm places. Well that's what it should remind you of because they grow in warm climates. Do you think it's photoshopped? It is and you can tell because only the leaves of the tree are sharp/clear contradicting the rest of the picture which is entirely blurry.
Atlantis again!!! We didn't even end up going to visit the place but at least,our ship was docked very close to it. It was quite a sight because the waters were clear blue, the wind was blowing slightly, the sun was shining, and you could see Atlantis close by! Now that is a busy picture.
This was when we were getting back onto the ship. I honestly tried to get the "carnival pride" name, the palm trees, and the welcome to Bahamas sign all in the picture, but this was the best I could do. There is an effect places on the next couple of pictures. Its the Transfer effect on Apple devices. It improves the picture a whole lot.
Got the ship name! This was a really cool picture because the ship name is there and there is some play with the sun. the sun brightens up the entire left side of the ship.
Although the picture right above is awesome, I personally think this is so much better. The sun is peeking out of the back of the ship. (The back of the ship is where the dinner hall is and its called, Normandie. I wonder if it's named after Normandie in France.) Anyhow, the sun brightens up the left side of the ship. However, it doesn't go all the way so the sunlight gradient is seen. Plus, you can see the outlines of people on the left and the awesome palm tree in the sun!
This was also one of my favorites. Just look at the ship! So actually, this is a huge cargo ship from,I believe, China. It's called the Aegean Highway. So this was docked right next to the cruise ship. (Our ship is on the right and the cargo is on the left.) I tell you, it's the biggest thing I've ever seen on water. It's humongous compared to the cruise ship. It's absolutely so much taller than the cruise ship. I can't even imagine how much stuff can fit in it!!!
This is the picture without the effects. It looks as cool too. I could see the crew men on the top of the ship and they were so so so tiny compared to everything else. It was just mesmorising. I wish I could've referenced the size of the ship to something. Perhaps our cruise ship?
