But you know what? There are weekend cruises out there, and even they can satisfy all your cruising desires. You can book them last-minute, you can pack light, and you can feel refreshed from your 9-5 grind during a quick 3 or 4-day escape.<\/p>\n<p>In 3-4 days, you&#8217;ll have plenty of time to make new friends (including the cruise staff) and make lasting memories. We\u2019re going to share a little bit from our recent weekend cruise aboard the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-ships\/carnival-victory.aspx?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnival Victory<\/a>. We left out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-from\/miami.aspx?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami<\/a> on Friday afternoon, spent a day in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-to\/bahamas-cruises\/nassau-cruises.aspx?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nassau<\/a>, had a fun day at sea, and were back in Miami early Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2155.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2155-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We believe that in order to get everything you want out of your weekend cruise, there are three things that you should probably consider\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1 CREATE ROUTINE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having some routine to your cruise will make you feel like you are at home. When we get on board, the first thing we do is unpack. Take all of our belongings out, pack them away throughout our cabin, and make our stateroom feel cozy. Next, we take a lap around the ship, briefly exploring everything it has to offer. Finally, we head to the main lounge area (on the Carnival Victory this is the Seven Seas Lounge) and have a drink while looking over the schedule of events for the coming days. It&#8217;s essential to have an idea of what is going on, especially during a short cruise.<\/p>\n<p>On Carnival cruises, here are the things we do every single day\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lounge \u2013 Even on a port day, we like to catch some rays<\/li>\n<li>Nap \u2013 Every day, we find time to nap<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-food\/pizza-pirate?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pizza Pirate<\/a> (IMPORTANT &#8211; see below)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Dine in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/dining\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dining room <\/a>\u2013 We love sitting at the same table and getting to know the people around us and our wait staff<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Chocolate Melting Cake (see below)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/punchliner-comedy-club?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Comedy Club <\/a>\u2013 Laughing is the best<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/piano-bar?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piano Bar<\/a> \u2013 A great way to close the day is singing songs with your new best friends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6244.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6244.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6244-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 PLAN ON YOUR DIET STARTING MONDAY (when you get back)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You are on a short cruise. The purpose is to relax, refresh, and see the world. So please don\u2019t be on a diet while you are cruising. This is your time to eat adventurously, and eat whatever you want, whenever you want. If you are nervous about how much you may eat without any self-control over the 3-4 day trip, then commit to your diet starting Monday (assuming that\u2019s when you get back to reality).<\/p>\n<p>Since you are going to indulge in whatever you feel like, here are some of our favorites.<\/p>\n<p>First, take advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-food\/24-hour-room-service?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">room service<\/a>. With Carnival, they have a continental breakfast that you can have via room service each day. Fruit, cereal, bread, coffee, and juices. If you need some eggs, bacon, or something more hearty, head up a few floors to the Lido deck and grab something from the buffet.<\/p>\n<p>Next, love Pizza Pirate as much as we do (they have both regular and gluten-free crust). We probably ate 1 pizza each per day. Ha! And on our sea day, Bobby ate 2 pizzas in one sitting! These amazing thin-crust pizzas are whipped up right in front of your eyes and can be customized to your liking. Pizza Pirate is seriously one of our FAVORITE parts about Carnival Cruises. Even if the secret gets out on how amazing it is, you\u2019ll never wait more than 15 minutes from the time you get in line, to when you sink your teeth into a delicious slice of pepperoni.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2455.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2455.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2455-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6405.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6405.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6405-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, get everything you want at dinner (including dessert). <a href=\"https:\/\/help.carnival.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/1107\/~\/dinner-concept%3A-american-table-and-american-feast?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnival\u2019s American Table<\/a>-themed restaurants serve up amazing cuisine with a standing menu, and a menu that changes based on the port you have been in that day. If you can\u2019t decide between a Fried Chicken B.L.T. from the current port-of-call or one of their nightly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-food\/steakhouse-selections?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steakhouse Selections<\/a>, get both! The portions are relatively small, and most people could probably eat an appetizer, a salad, and a main dish. Bobby normally gets an appetizer, the item from the \u201crare-finds\u201d menu (escargot, cured salmon, etc.), and 2 main dishes. Even if you don\u2019t have room, you must order dessert. We ALWAYS get a Chocolate Melting Cake, and usually 1 (or 2) other desserts. Hehe. Remember, diet starts Monday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6189.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6189-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_5659.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_5659.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_5659-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6187.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_6187-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2371.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2371.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2371-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2368.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2368.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCF2368-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 DO THINGS YOU MAY NOT DO AT HOME<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cruising is a great opportunity to try new things. Food, activities, and excursions that are probably different from your norm. We like to look through the schedule of events and pick at least one thing each day that we wouldn\u2019t normally do. On this cruise, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/karaoke?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karaoke<\/a> (we would probably do this normally), an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/art-auctions?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art auction<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/dance-classes?cid=icp_dcs_awg_travelingnewlyweds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ballroom dance lessons<\/a>. If you\u2019re worried about looking silly when you\u2019re in front of everyone, realize you will probably never see any of these people again. So go for it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_5656.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_5656.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_5656-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are confident that weekend cruises can be for everyone!
