Carnival Mexican Riveria Cruise

Great travel deals abound during this less-than-perfect economy, so we took advantage of a great special to spend a week with my brother and his wife aboard the Princess Pride. We left from Los Angeles on a beautiful, sunny typical southern California day and sailed southward to Mexico.

This was our ship, a small vessle that only holds a couple thousand passengers. We had beautiful balcany rooms with great views.

Warming up for a hot game of Pinochle while waiting for the ship to leave port.

Activities on-board while cruising down the Mexican coast included demonstrations of ice carving.
